*Bush laughs about "Leaks", thinks Treason is funny

[Mari333]

As pressure built on his aides, Bush joked about the matter. During a roundtable discussion with reporters for African news organizations, he was asked about three reporters in Kenya who were detained this week in what some journalists saw as an effort to intimidate them into revealing sources. The detention drew a condemnation from the International Federation of Journalists, which complained that the government has been harassing and brutalizing journalists.

"I'm against leaks," Bush said, to laughter. "I would suggest all governments get to the bottom of every leak of classified information." Turning to the reporter who asked the question, Martin Mbugua of the Daily Nation, Kenya's largest daily newspaper, Bush said, "By the way, if you know anything, Martin, would you please bring it forward and help solve the problem?">>>

1. eeewwwww ..everytime he opens his mouth he inserts his DIRTY foot

he really is STUPID

[webtrainer]

22. As my Dad would say . . .

(if he were still around), * only shuts up long enough to switch feet.

[OneTwentyoNine]

2. Everything is just a smirk and laugh away to Chimpboy....

Kids dieing in Iraq for Halliburton fun and profit,outing CIA people-putting their life and many others in danger.


Thats why on key speech's that have that fucker drugged up--I'll guarantee he is definitely on something when he gives one of those quite,sobering type of speeches.

17. insulated from real life

Nothing is sacred - he mocks women on death row and even can joke about September 11 - "hitting the trifecta", and these jokes elicit gales of laughter from the Repugs.

[arwalden]

3. I'll Bet He Also Laughs and Giggles Whenever Someone Says "Duty"

"Duty" and "Leaks"... giggle-giggle.

What a moron!

4. Let him joke

It's obvious to me that they don't realize how much trouble he's in. If they understood the implications of recent events, Bush would be giving a tearful address to the nation asking for patience and promising action.

[NuckinFutz]

14. At least Nixon

Had sense enough to know the jig was up, and resigned. You gotta wonder about W...when he starts making Nixon look reputable.

[Mari333]

15. amen and Welcome to DU!

:bounce:

[sexybomber]

20. haha

How right you are...

welcome to DU! :hi:

[demnan]

5. Of Course

as the Daily Brew said yesterday, if Bush really didn't know the source of the leak and wanted to find out, surely he could sit Novak down in his office face to face and ask him. However, since Bush surely knows the identity of the leaker he has no desire to find this out.

Bush is acting like the guilty liar he is.

[SaintLouisBlues]

18. Shrub can let all the journalists off-the-hook

Sidney Blumenthal, on one of the cable shows yesterday, said Shrub can release journalists from their
confidentialty. Blumanthal says this is what he did when the Clinton witch hunt was ongoing.

[NoKingGeorge]

19. Another swipe a journalists?

Tweety hates this. Remember when thedeserter blamed the start of the war on media drumbeat? How about rUmmy and the media has a slanted view?

[neebob]

6. Wow

What an asshole. Unfortunately, the guy gave him an excuse to joke about it: http://allafrica.com/stories/200310020931.html. Read the whole "joke" AND watch him not answer a serious question.

[arwalden]

7. WHAT A DUMB FUCK... An ASSHOLE! --- That's Embarrassing...

It's like we have a drunk frat boy in the White House.

-- Allen

[spooky3]

8. Restoring dignity and honor to the White House once again...(eom)

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Is it possible that the leak

came directly from W?

He's such a loose lipped arrogant smart ass. I could just hear him at some fundraiser, mouthing off. "Oh yeah, that bitch that's married to Wilson, oh yeah, she's an agent. She's the bitch that got him the assignment."

[Mari333]

10. His aides keep him clueless about whats really happening

or so Ive read...maybe he actually thinks people like him...He makes these off the wall statements and his numbers are dropping daily..does anyone tell him he is so hated by the world? Makes one go Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. That's BS that he is clueless

W is one of the most ruthless SOB's on the planet.

We forget that he suckled at Lee Atwater's tit right next to Karlie.

[lapislzi]

12. No way...Poppy would be all over it

Poppy knows better than to let Jr. piss off the spooks.

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. Poppy can't control him anymore

No matter how much he might try. Actually, that is the problem. Daddy never did anything to control his boys. They've done whatever they pleased and they were always more than willing to do daddy's dirty work. All daddy, can do now is just hope his bunker is secure and that his scotch supply doesn't run out.

[NoKingGeorge]

21. Need to know authority extend to aWol and Condi ONLY!.

Rove would not have the autority to know these details, or even that someone IS an agent. The head of NSC, Condi and thedeserter have this information.Not the VP, not aides in departments etc.

[tom_paine]

16. Of course he thinks treason is funny!

The Imperial Family has been committing treason for decades, even when they were just a Crew in the Nixon Crime Family.

Don't forget Prescott Bush, Hitler's Angel.

A list of Bush Family Treason:

Prescott Bush called "Hitler's Angel" -- runs money laundering out of Union Bank Corp. Doesn't divest after Pearl Harbor-- has to be forced to divest from his old business partner by 1942 Trading With the Enemy Act
1968 sabotaging of the Paris Peace Talks
1980 October Surprise
Iran-Contra (just how did the Busheviks initially get so cozy with Iranian radicals?)
Conspiracy to Attempt a Coup D'Etat in 1998
Bloodless Coup of 2000

I know I have missed stuff. Plus I didn't mention the 1936 Smedley Butler Coup by Republicans because as far as I can tell, Prescott Bush wasn't caught, but I'll bet "Hitler's Angel" was in on it.
