Scottie "clarifies" Bush*s statement (re Brown resignation)

[trof]

I love it when Scottie "clarifies" things.
He reminds me of the guy who carries a shovel and bucket behind the elephant in the circus parade.

He came back to the pool reporters on AF1 and told them that "Of course the president knew Brown had resigned, but he just didn't know it had been made public yet."

Pass the shovel.
:-(

1. Good one Scottie

Spinning Wheel Scottie should get a treat

2. It really seems like

Bush doesn't run the show or is constantly suffering disassociated lapses.

8. I don't think either option ...

... excludes the other.

Welcome to DU Seansky :hi:

22. Thanks etherealtruth

After months of boycotting MSM (used to work for one of them)and following the best blogging sites, I couldn't stay away from DU and finally couldn't resist registering.

I'm originally from Panama (and US Citizen) and when *sh was running for the 00 E, I told anyone that was willing to hear me out that, having lived thru two dictators, I was seeing too many red flags. My heart is broken for having been right.

3. Oh yeah... No limit to how much he can shovel... n/t

[malaise]

4. Someone should beam him down

he appears more clueless than his boss.

5. Cough cough

[MsUnderstood]

6. And why didn't the press respond back with

So did the president just lie to us Scottie?

Does he think we are a bunch of numb F**ks? Why can't he treat us like adults?

[Caution]

7. So Scottie admits Bush just lied to the public?

"I have no knowledge of Brown resigning"

That's a flat-out lie. no way around it.

[etherealtruth]

11. Perhaps he was admitting to extreme cognitive impairment ... n/t

[faithfulcitizen]

21. exactly! what a dumbass. I bet Rove would love to tape his mouth shut.

[karlrschneider]

9. Jeebus, if that WERE true, (didn't know it was public) wouldn't the fukin'

QUESTION be a little bit of a clue that it already was????

:grr: :eyes:

10. "There are known knowns, and unknown unknowns, and known unknowns..."

[mzteris]

12. SURE, he knew. . . how?

Brown, who said he last talked to Bush five or six days ago, said the resignation was his idea. He spoke Saturday to White House chief of staff Andrew Card, who did not request his departure, according to Brown.

"I'm turning in my resignation today," Brown said. "I think it's in the best interest of the agency and the best interest of the president to do that and get the media focused on the good things that are going on, instead of me."

Shortly after Brown was recalled to Washington last week, officials close to the FEMA director said he would probably resign. They said that even before Katrina, Brown had been planning on leaving the administration late this fall to go into the private sector.

13. Documented proof that Bush will lie at the drop of a hat

or horse-milker. :D

[DemonFighterLives]

14. Susan Malveaux said the resignation letter was in dumb yas hand

well before he tried to play it off as unknown to him.
He could at least get ahead of an issue once and say that he called for his head or something.

15. just looked at the "timeline"

The Brown resigns story went up on the net about 4:00 PM?

The appointment story was out there at 4:56 pm EDT

The Bush didn't know story went up on the net at about 5:00 pm


hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

[tsuki]

16. Imagine just appear in my wee brain. A picture of the PRESIDENT

OF THE UNITED STATES looking around at everyone with the blankest expression on his face, saying

:wtf: is going on.

[driver8]

17. Who did this idiot blow to get this job?

He certainly doesn't seem very qualified for it. Anyone know his background? Did he do PR for Enron or something?

[leeroysphitz]

18. I didn't get to see it but

was there a resounding laugh throughout the press pool? Any snickering? Or maybe a disgusted sigh or two? Anything?

Wow looks like we sure do have our "feisty" media back! (sarc)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. Like I said in another thread. not buying that excuse.

They would have given bush* a prepared statement to make for when it was announced the minute he was notified of it.

Scottie's going to need a bigger bucket on this one. :eyes:

[Imagevision]

20. Oh Scottie, working for Bush must be a bitch these days...!

"The President "mis-spoke" today......again!
