Bush speaking now from the UN

[RSchewe]

Live

MSNBC/CNN

[spinbaby]

1. Details for the cube rats, please

:-)

[lse7581011]

Anything Worthwhile?

or just the usual blather?

[mopaul]

3. sounds like just before the iraq war began, same scary rhetoric

[RSchewe]

6. I thought the same exact thing n/t

[RSchewe]

10. Maybe we are going to war again

I wouldn't put it past these imperialists.

[Justyce]

8. Oh great... maybe it would be easier

to just have him committed than to have him impeached....

[stellanoir]

7. terror, terror, terror

[mopaul]

2. back to the war now folks

[RSchewe]

4. Seems to be about Nuclear proliferation. n/t

[Moosepoop]

35. He actually pronounced "nuclear" correctly.... once.

A couple of sentences later it was "nukular" again. :eyes:

[mopaul]

5. weapons of mass murder? a new twist huh?

[AlCzervik]

20. did he really say that?

:puke:

[MaineDem]

88. I wrote that down when I heard it

Reframing perhaps? Since WMD didn't work let's call it something else.

[Jeanette in FL]

99. No, I thought it was a Freudian slip as in

"We are going to be charged with Mass Murder" in regards to New Orleans. Might of been something that has been taked about behind the scenes. And it just slipped out.

[AlCzervik]

109. trying to reframe it sound about right or it could be the

freudian slip as mentioned in the post below. What a tool he is, like they didn't what he meant---duh!

[crispini]

9. sign convention to prevent acts of terrorism,

send a clear message to these outlaw regimes, confronting our enemies is essential, so civilized nations will continue to take the fight to the terrorists.

terra terra terra coke-jaw pop terra terra shot of condisleeza in her new shoes and Mr. Moustache. :puke:

[Verve]

73. Umm..Does he realize half the people he's addressing think he's the

terrorist?:shrug:

[acmejack]

11. I can't bear to watch

him make a fool of himself and further humiliate America.

[texpatriot2004]

30. I know I can't listen to him he disgusts me but I did go turn it on

and for the little bit I saw, it looks like everyone there can't wait for his time to be up.

[jim3775]

12. I was going to post this in GD but I'll put it here

An inspiring speech by Kofi Annan is followed by a stream of shit. Kofi Annan stressed human rights, stopping genocide, nuclear non-proliferation and inaction of the world community. And now the one person who is trying to stop the UN from fulfilling those goals is speaking. So far bush's speech can be summed up with; terrah-iss, 9-11, terra-iss,terra-ism...

[highplainsdem]

Yes, the same old Bush*t talking points...

[Verve]

89. Kofi Annan knew what was coming and decided to inspire the UN

so that they could get through the day reminding themselves that Bush is in the minority.

[lpbk2713]

13. Is he going to nuke North Korea to get his numbers back up?

Is he standing at the podium with his arm around a fireman's shoulder?

[etherealtruth]

102. No, Iran ...

My guess, at this point in time, is that he would need to dress Karl Rove or the Dick up in firefighter gear in order to be photoed with his arm around a firefighter.

[marylanddem]

14. Thank you for daring to look at * for us & report back...

I cannot look at him or listen to * - I guess this is their ultimate weapon, that they become too toxic to take...

[crispini]

15. "implement the Monterrey consensus"

wtf is that and why is he so torqued up about it?

he can't even TALK.

[marylanddem]

23. Maybe he IS crazy.

Not just stupid but really insane. That is one f**king scarey thought.

[acmejack]

113. International Conference on Financing for Development Agreement

http://www.un.org/esa/ffd/ffdconf/

snip>
The International Conference on Financing for Development was held from 18-22 March 2002 in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico

This first United Nations-hosted conference to address key financial and development issues attracted 50 Heads of State or Government, over 200 ministers as well as leaders from the private sector and civil society, and senior officials of all the major intergovernmental financial, trade, economic, and monetary organizations. Their statements to the plenaries (in text and in video) and the Monterrey Consensus provide a picture of the new global approach to financing development.

[txindy]

16. Has he dropped his fake Texas accent?

He usually does when addressing the UN. He also pauses in odd places, waiting for applause that never comes. He's such a yutz.

[mopaul]

no drawl today, thanks for pointing that out

[txindy]

27. HA! I just KNEW it! Amazing how that accent comes and goes at will.

Yep, just a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along. :eyes:

God, he's such a poser. The Connecticut Yankee in a Texan's Hat.

[DrDebug]

25. Pausing in random places is an old Jesuit trick

It is supposed to make you sound more intelligent. If somebody had a low self esteem they taught the person to pause and count to three internally, because that would make them appear as smarter than they really were... It just makes Bush sound silly...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. It's also a way to get people to not rush through a speech

Getting people to pause also a way to stop them from through a speech. That has never been a Bush problem, since he likes to pad out his speeches since he doesn't have much to say.

[txindy]

42. Yes, but that's not what Junior is doing.

He pauses at moments that would bring him wild applause in front of his prescreened audiences. For instance, if he says, "And we'll bring freedom to all people around the world" he'll stop, look up, and wait for the applause. He gets his reward with his sycophants across this country, but he gets crickets chirping in the UN. That's when his face gets an even p*ssier look on it and he continues on. By the time his speech is finished, he's glaring at the delegates who won't give him his reward for blessing them with his presence. :eyes:

[Richardo]

66. ...or like he's doing a William Shatner impression.

Isn't that......right,.......Spock?

[SmokingJacket]

104. Or it's to stop and listen to a tiny microphone... nt

[RSchewe]

36. That is only for when he speaks to the southern folk

He got different styles and accents depending who he is addressing or speaking to.

[txindy]

62. I know, which is why I mention this to folks in Texas

I ask them if they've ever heard him address the UN. Those who haven't are usually very surprised when I tell them that he has zero accent when he does. The ones with Texas accents, themselves, know that that is virtually impossible to pull off. It's not hard to fake a Texas drawl, but it's extremely difficult to get rid of one completely - especially for one speech on one day. It highlights what a phony Junior truly is. It's funny how it's the little things that some people need to focus on to really understand that. Hey, whatever works! ;)

[liveoaktx]

47. Channeling Thurston Howell-RAWTHER

nobody talks lak thayett in Texas.

[marmar]

17. He is about as welcome at the UN...

as Fred Phelps is at a Gay Pride rally. You can read the disdain on the delegates faces.

[crispini]

18. "our work dudn't end there"

he actually said dudn't.

and "infectuous diseases."

[Frederik]

105. Infectuous?

Bwahahaha :rofl:

[HeeBGBz]

19. Hey dumbass * How about fighting poverty in the US???

How about taking care of our own?

How about freedom for the USA instead of shoving some quasi-freedom-disquised-oppression on other countries?

Pigshit.

[halobeam]

21. Monterey consensus.... applies all over, except here at home, right?

Unbelievable..

Take Sen. Byrds' speech to heart: America needs to come HOME.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. Is his speech slurring? EOM

[Verve]

100. Would you blame him for taking a few swigs of fire water before going up

against a crowd who DESPISES him?

Maybe he can vacation at the Betty Ford Center soon.

[lse7581011]

24. Anything To Divert Attention

from New Orleans and his poll numbers!

[crispini]

26. let's fight malaria and AIDS and the avian flu!!!

wtf is he DOING? he's just giving some standard US policy speech about international stuff when he's just proved that he couldn't lead his way out of a paper bag.

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. Oh man you nailed it! LOL EOM

[lse7581011]

31. Please Tell Me

that no one is being fooled by this!

[dweller]

44. in-feck-chu-us ...

aka: infectious

add to the *moron dyslexicon

dp

[RSchewe]

28. Anyone notice how he is trying to talk compassionately about...

world aid, but with the war drumbeat-speak tone? That monotone doomsday style.

[AFSCME girl]

41. I hate when he does that.....

wasn't that how he spoke before he plunged into Iraq? :grr:

[crispini]

32. Oooo, a new international partnership about the Avian Flu!

It's imperative on us to heal the sick and comfort the afflicted.

WTF about NOLA, you scumsucking pig bag? Plenty of sick and afflicted there for you to worry about.

[onecent]

33. He still has that jaw tick...he's an embarrassment to Amerca.

[TexasLady]

34. i wanna just grab that jaw of his

and make it stop jutting, jittering or whatthehell ever it is he does during his pauses.
smarmy fartfuck :mad:

[marylanddem]

49. Me too!

Thanks for nailing that chickenhead gesture he makes, like a clucking chicken, except "words" come out of his mouth instead of clucks.
(on edit: maybe that's why he's so concerned with the avian flu?)

[highplainsdem]

37. * is again stating the obvious as if announcing breaking news

(re the bird flu this time). I've noticed him doing this in countless speeches, and finding out that his aides had to prepare a DVD of news coverage of Katrina to fill him in explains it. * really thinks the people he's addressing, even at the UN, are as ignorant as he is.

[highplainsdem]

43. Basic message: drop trade barriers, let our corporations exploit you

[crispini]

38. "Lift the burden of poverty from places of suffering"

How about lifting the burden of poverty from places of suffering in AMERICA?

Calling now on the DOHA round, lifting trade barriers. Great, just what we need. :eyes:

Coke-jaw pop, sticks tongue out. This guy is just a walking bag of tics.

[HeeBGBz]

46. I've got some debt that needs forgivin'

Oh, that's right I'm just a local...

[Coexist]

48. great post! eom

[RSchewe]

51. Noticed that too...

I heard him say that we must "tear down the walls that separate the developed countries from the developing countries"

That is so ironic. It sounds like a twisted microcosm of what has happened in New Orleans.

[TexasLady]

75. I notice if you turn down the volume

and just watch, its downright entertaining, like watching cartoons. really scary cartoons.
damn man put your tongue back into your mouth! does he eat with his mouth open too?
thank god, its over

[crispini]

40. You know, Bush now has zero cred with me when he's talking

about the world's poor, 'specially since he doesn't give a rip about American poor.

[Mika]

45. Must stop avian pandemics ON TIME

On time? Hmmmmm.

:scared:

[Theres-a]

57. Avian pandemics?

:hide:

[Stephanie]

98. Save the birds!

But let the people drown.

[tgnyc]

50. Freedom, liberty, free elections around the world. n/t

[jim3775]

52. "freer trade"

Shit, just what we need "freer trade". Whats next freest trade?

[crispini]

53. Rattling on about Free Elections in Iraq Afgahnistan blah blah.

Spreading Democracy everywhere rah rah rah!

[Moosepoop]

54. "Institutions of self-rule"...

Yeah, as long as it's HIS self that is ruling. x(

[crispini]

55. LOL, a shot of a guy actually READING something and ignoring the speech!

[highplainsdem]

59. And others looking bored and unimpressed

[highplainsdem]

68. "The UN must be free of corruption and accountable to the people it serves

But hey, that's just the UN, not *'s administraion...

[LeftyFingerPop]

56. OMG...watching this, I just flashed......

If I was not familiar with the English language, just watching his mannerisms and hearing the tone of his voice really does make me think that he is Hitler reincarnated.

[LeftyFingerPop]

71. Is he starting to lose it? EOM

[crispini]

58. "The whole world has a vital interest in the success of a free Iraq."

Think he's gonna try and get 'em to cough up some more dough for Iraq?

[RSchewe]

60. You can hear a pin drop in the UN while Bush is speaking.

I hear people coughing.

[tgnyc]

61. Iraq will inspire others to claim their freedom. Especially the Mid-East

[Blue_Roses]

63. so boring

:boring:

[crispini]

64. Was that dude in the audience actually talking on a cellphone?

Or was that his translator earpiece thingy? It looked a lot like a cellphone. LOL!

[jim3775]

65. "democratic nations grow in strength because they seek national...

greatness in the achievement of their citizens not the conquest of their neighbors"

Holy shit, now he is just openly contradicting himself.

[tgnyc]

67. The UN must be free of corruption,

cost oversight needed.

[tgnyc]

74. FDR said peace can not be the work of one man, one nation

[crispini]

69. Was he scheduled to do this before NOLA?

I'm just curious. Anyone know?

Now he's rattling on about human rights.

[charlie]

70. Yewnanna Nayshuns

Jesus! Just call it the UN, you pinhead.

[FlaGranny]

72. Good grief -

I don't think the UN members like his preachy tone. I know I don't. The silence amongst the members is deafening. I can hear individuals breathing I think.

All I can say is remember Clinton?

[Coexist]

78. you mean the standing ovations? The damn commies!!!

apparently, they don't know a real leader when they see one (sarcasm intended.)

[marylanddem]

82. Clinton was a wonderful speaker

But I am so disgusted that he's hanging out with Poppy I don't even want to think about him - hard to believe he used to be president when you see him in those pictures with the progenitor...

[FlaGranny]

111. I don't like seeing him with the Bush's either,

and certainly don't agree with everything he did, but you have to admit, he had the respect of the world. I'll never forget the standing ovation when Clinton walked out, especially as compared to the silence that greeted Bush.

[Frederik]

106. Remember Dominique de Villepin?

He got applause in the Security Council, which was unprecedented.

[crispini]

76. Talking about reforming the UN.

Great. :eyes: like you have any cred at all. What a dipwad.

[tgnyc]

77. Polite applause at the end.

[highplainsdem]

79. Unhappy speaker, unhappy audience. Final rather grim chimpy smirk

[hatrack]

80. Is he pronouncing his "g"s today?

Just thought I'd ask . . .

[jhain]

107. you betcha good buddy

no texan lingo for the UN

[crispini]

81. Here's the summary by MSNBC

1) tough stand on terra
2) compassion for needy
3) we will drop all trade barriers if others will do the same

[Coexist]

85. any remarks on the lack of applause or his reception at the world body?

any commentary on the 300 lb. gorilla??

[crispini]

94. Not on MSNBC, they went straight to analysis.

:boring:

[DrDebug]

93. Compassion for the needy

Thanks to bpilgrim ( http://news.globalfreepress.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=5 )

[crispini]

96. Sums it up pretty well.

[marylanddem]

103. Wow - amazing graphic n/t

[highplainsdem]

83. CBS: Now don't read anything into the lack of applause...

God forbid we notice how differently they react to * than to Clinton.

Edited to add that the advisory was from Bob Schieffer.

[Coexist]

86. Smattering vs. Ovation - now don't notice that, please.

[marylanddem]

91. Do you suppose such gratuitous advice

from CBS - i.e., "don't read anything into that lack of applause" -
is duly noted by Rove, McClellan et al. & gives CBS more "access" to their slimey ranks???

[Coexist]

97. let's see who gets called on at Scottie's next soiree

and who sits where.

[SmokingJacket]

108. That's hilarious: they're drawing attention to it on purpose.

"See the way the president's jaw jerks around? Right there, see it? Yeah that! It's totally meaningless and you shouldn't think it has anything to do with the rumors that he was and might still be a cocaine addict!"

[Coexist]

110. aaaah - there's a point!

maybe bringing up the lack of applause to draw attention to it - in case people don't know that it is unusual. Thanks for that perspective.

[Barack_America]

84. There needs to be a law against soundbytes...

...From now on if you're going to take up my time you must actually say something!!

What a piece of shit that was. Quite frankly, I think that a reading of "My Pet Goat" would've been more informative and stimulating.

It looks like the audience agreed.

[RSchewe]

87. I happen to agree with the point on the human rights commission

There should not be human rights violators on it.

[crispini]

92. Maybe we should kick ourselves off of it.

(Are we on it? I dunno)

[RSchewe]

112. You know, that didn't even occur to me.

Good point.

We should be off it if that is the case. There should not be any execeptions.

[coffeenap]

90. Tuned in at the very end--the camera showed quite a few empty

seats. I want to find out who didn't show or who left before he was done.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

95. Human rights violations? How DARE he talk about that when he

is a murderous, torturing bastard! No one on CNN said anything about that filthy not so secret about the Bushco Regime. Meanwhile, very little is being done to cover the close to 200 prisones at Gitmo on a hunger strike.

[Murdock]

101. Anyone else notice..

How quickly the media switched back to coverage of Roberts after the speech?
