Scotty's on!!!! He's gonna get nailed today! n/t

[cynatnite]

[annabanana]

1. think he'll be asked about DeLay?

[babylonsister]

4. As my husband would say,

"Is a pig's prick pork?" :evilgrin:

[geomon666]

84. ..............

I've got to rethink my hot dog intake now.

[Skidmore]

2. LOL He's looking mighty pasty today.

Bet he goes home at night and chugs Scotch with a Valium chaser.

[Sydnie]

3. I am supposed to be leaving for work now

I am not. I am going to be so screwed later today. But I am enjoying every second of this moment. I've earned it, I've waited for it, and NO ONE is going to take it away from me! :rofl:

Spin, Scotty, Spin!

edit typo

[highplainsdem]

5. Sounding and looking VERY nervous

even before any questions are asked.

[Spazito]

6. Is it being covered by CSPAN at all?

[highplainsdem]

9. Wasn't a few minutes ago. On MSNBC and Faux

[samdogmom]

10. Check 1, 2 & 3==not there. Hmmm.

[Spazito]

16. CSPAN shows it scheduled but they are not showing it, some

committee instead it seems.

[Rosco T.]

7. How many "Can't comment on an ongoing investigation" will we hear?

[cynatnite]

11. Is it ongoing if DeLay's been indicted?

It sounds like the case has been made.

[ProfessorGAC]

56. Should Be None!

The investigation is over. That's how the indictment was generated. So, he should NEVER say it.
The Professor

[cynatnite]

8. Is he hoping the longer he talks he may not have to answer anything? n/t

[highplainsdem]

12. Seems like it.

[spindoctor]

15. YUP! This is so amusing. (nt)

[CottonBear]

73. "When it comes to Iran it's a matter of trust & confidence in the Int'l

community...people have a right to civilian nuclear power...but Iran has not (been trustworthy)..."

[FreedomAngel82]

100. Neither have we, so should we have nukes?

[Sydnie]

13. They don't know what the hell to talk about that won't explode

in their face. Hurricanes... can't spin there too much, Terra, well hell, that's not going so good after Saturday, Delay, hell, just reminds people of the cloud over Rove .... ROFL

[annabanana]

14. "don't forget poland"

[spindoctor]

Here we go!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. First question is about Delay!

LOL! :woohoo:

[annabanana]

indictment question

He is a good ally a good leader

[Zen Democrat]

18. I'd like to know what Scottie really thinks about DeLay ....

His mother, Carole K. Strayhorn, the Treasurer of the State of Texas, has announced that she's running against Rick Perry for governor next year. Rick Perry and Tom DeLay are part of the RW Fundie network in Texas. Strayhorn is not part of that religio-fascist group.

Wonder where Scottie stands? With Mom, or DeLay?

[txindy]

68. Junior and Co. aren't working too hard to protect Gov. HairGel

They're letting him take a lot of heat in Texas for the pitiful preparations (and ongoing FEMA non-response) for Rita, so I'm guessing Scotty's mommy has their support, now.

[FreedomAngel82]

101. That would be good

:popcorn: I wonder what would happen if he chose DeLay over his mother. In his job wouldn't he have to?

[annabanana]

19. pres reaction?

need to let legal process work

[annabanana]

20. helen torture question

[annabanana]

21. why continued abuse?

[spindoctor]

22. That's it, don't let him off the hook!

[Norquist Nemesis]

23. Terry Moran hitting him hard!!!!

"A stench of corruption in Washington"

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. "We need to let the legal process proceed."

:rofl::rofl::rofl: How original! I've never heard THAT line before!:eyes:

[VolcanoJen]

27. I give Scotty ten more seconds before invoking "The Blame Game."

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

25. Terry Moran barbequing Scotty

"Does this President take the charges against Delay seriously?"

Scotty: "There's a legal process..."

"That's not what I'm asking you. So he doesn't take it as seriously as other charges?"


Contentious... waiting for David Gregory!

[spindoctor]

26. GET HIM!! He's blindsided now

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

49. Did Scottie just say "damn it"?????

[Walt Starr]

28. "Let the legal process work"

when it's a Republican.

Rush to judgement when it's a Democrat.

Fuck you Scotty.

[annabanana]

29. here's a question "Is the legal process compromised"?

That would short circuit ALL his non-answers today

[atomic-fly]

30. Squirm pasty dough boy! nt

[Sydnie]

31. "stench of corruption" "money laundering" "strong statements of

abuse" -- we are witnessing the hijacking of THEIR party this time, live on tv!

Can't hide if the media does their job Scotty.

How long before Scotty gives his notice?

"legal process in place" "legal process in place" "legal process in place" "legal process in place" "legal process in place" - NEW MEME

coming to a WH near all of us. Will be well worn by the time Rove and Card and the rest get indicted!

[VolcanoJen]

32. Now they're asking him about Drownie!

Dana Bash (CNN) is quizzing him on whether the White House gave Brown the funds he requested... Scotty just said "The White House was very focused and engaged on Hurricane Katrina."

Wow.

[atomic-fly]

crazy eyes gets tough?

[Norquist Nemesis]

33. Ohhh! Don't get snippy Scotty!

being very careful to detail everything they did as Rita approached (not talking about Katrina)

[oasis]

34. And Bush was going to change the tone in Washington. "Guess what?" Scottie

didn't get the memo.

[Sydnie]

35. Wanna bet Les will ask about how fast the churches will get their money?

[Norquist Nemesis]

Hahaha! He's probably scrambling in his notes for a nice Q!

[Sydnie]

36. edit- both cut away now n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

43. Ah, timing is everything

once again.

[The Witch]

37. keep feeding the cube rats PLEASE

w/out it on cspan i'm just lost

[Spazito]

47. It's on CSPAN 2 for the moment, anyway

http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspan2_rm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS2

[CottonBear]

48. "..a month after Katrina, the fog of war is clearing...

and we...can look at the facts...and find out what we thought was true was not...that's why the president has been visiting the region...making sure people get what they need..."

[CottonBear]

"fog of war" is a weird term to use regarding Katrina. n/t

[Sydnie]

78. Good catch - I missed that n/t

[atomic-fly]

38. any web links to watch/listen?

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. www.whitehouse.gov

[CottonBear]

39. Live stream link:

much obliged

[atomic-fly]

45. thanks!

[Sydnie]

52. Thank you!

"maybe they can focused on more than one thing" YES WE CAN!

We want answers to it all Scotty!

[Theres-a]

54. Thanks!

[spindoctor]

41. C-span 2 still going

[annabanana]

42. CNN cut to ad

[gatorboy]

46. Where's a Bianca when you need them???

Poor Scotty... :P

[Ganja Ninja]

67. Where's Jimmy/Jeff?

:wtf:

[spindoctor]

50. Oh yea, the WH is in touch with the American people

[charlie]

51. Whoa. He's getting pasted to the wall

No quarter from anyone in the pool. Testy and filibustering. Poor Scottie...

[CottonBear]

53. "We need to let the facts be gathered and let the facts come out

and if you want to keep engaging in that (line of questioning) you can but we want to discuss the facts..." (sort of paraphrased)

[spindoctor]

55. c'mon....SOMEBODY cut the propaganda

[The Witch]

59. Scottie has pulled out Prepared Speech #1839

and c-span2 cuts away.

[spindoctor]

70. Kinda funny how the relief shows on his face when he switches to rehearsed

[Theres-a]

57. Terrorists will continue bla,bla,bla

[LSK]

58. when all else fails - TERROR TERROR TERROR

"We will continue to talk about progress in the war on terror"

Dont you need to start something to continue it?

[CottonBear]

63. "We will continue to defeat the ideology of hatred in the middle east."

"You will continue to hear from the president and the commanders involved."

"We have an obligation to keep the American people updated on the war on terrorism."

"Merkin people, Merkin people..."

[kma3346]

60. Crap!!

Where can we continue watching the press conference then?????

[Spazito]

64. Here

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live.v.html

[Theres-a]

65. Post 39

[CottonBear]

66. White house link here:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live.v.html

[Theres-a]

61. Are people getting an accuarate picture of the war in Iraq?

[Theres-a]

62. Iraq is central to winning the war on Terrorism--Scottie

[Norquist Nemesis]

69. Dammit!! Can't hear the questions now!

GRRRRRR!!!

[CottonBear]

76. WH.gov never has good sound for the questions. On purpose, I'm sure. n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

104. They just re-did the room a few months ago

They must have cut a good mic/sound system in the interests of the taxpayers. :/

[kma3346]

71. Found it

on:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live.v.html

He's blathering about "they're deeply concerned about" Iran now.

[Theres-a]

72. Sputtering,voice cracking when answering Q's about Iran.

[kma3346]

74. You can barely hear the reporters voices

But Scottie's voice is VERY loud.

[Spazito]

75. Notice how the White House feed keeps the volume low for the

press so it is hard to hear their questions while Snotty Scottie's volume is just fine! When CSPAN covers the press briefing the volume is the same for both.

How sleazy yet so typical of the cabal.

[Norquist Nemesis]

81. Yes! Driving me crazy! n/t

[Spazito]

93. The press should yell their questions so it wouldn't matter how the

cabal tries to suppress their questions. Also, the press should ask Scottie outright why the WH keeps the volume low when their questions are asked!

[Theres-a]

77. Fighting them there bla,bla,bla

[Norquist Nemesis]

79. "oh! and...uh we're fighting them here so we don't have to fight

them here at home!"

<must say themes, must say themes, must say themes>

[CottonBear]

80. "We're fightin' 'em there so we don't have to fight 'em at home."

OMG. He's recycling that stupid line.

He reminds me of Tim Robbins character in Bull Durham who is taught to use stock phrases during media interviews.

What a goober Puffy McMoonface is. :(

[Theres-a]

82. Impordant

[kma3346]

83. I am SO irked

about the fact that I can't hear the reporters' questions no matter how high I turn up my volume!!! God, this administration makes me SICK!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[annabanana]

85. when he said "diversity on the court"

was he talking race, gender , philosophy, what

no answer, of course

[Theres-a]

86. Lost feed

[CottonBear]

87. "The president will appoint...or nominate...a candidate for the SCOTUS...

we have consulted with the senate...and 2/3 of the Democratic conference of the senate...it's important to get the views (of the senate)..."

:wtf: He said APPOINT then quickly corrected himself.

[Theres-a]

90. Spinning out of control,getting dizzy

[CottonBear]

95. Michael Brown's timeline Q re: Blanco's request and * response...

Scotty is giving a non-answer...saying they briefed the merkin people on the extremely dangerous hurricane...and did their part to help the state and local officials prepare..."

BULLSHIT

[Norquist Nemesis]

88. He just cut off Les and moved on!

:rofl:

[annabanana]

89. pisses me off no mics on the press corps on whitehouse site

[Norquist Nemesis]

94. Meanwhile on MSN

we have video clips of Bush's Rose Garden special from earlier today.

Pisses me off that they put him on when I don't want it and don't put him on when I do!

[CottonBear]

91. He jsut said he didn't understand a question & cut the reporter off...

How rude...it was some sort of question about a SCOTUS candidate and ties to the Harvard business school.

[Norquist Nemesis]

96. That was Les!

Usually his take a breath go to guy.

[kma3346]

92. This is such bullshit!!!

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Norquist Nemesis]

99. Don't worry.

Just repeat the old themes, plug in the new and improved alliteration exercise phrases like Lessons Learned and you'll pretty much have the same thing as being there.

[CottonBear]

97. He just gave *'s excuse: "He* went on TV and warned the merkin people

to get out of the way of the dangerous hurricane."

[annabanana]

98. listening to 1/2 of this briefing

is like kissing your aunt

[CottonBear]

103. He said Brown is "speaking for himself" but "he's on a 30 day contract

that began when he resigned."

:wtf: What the hell kind of explanation is that?

[Liberal In Texas]

110. They obviously are doing this on purpose. They don't want the questions

just the spin.

We used to be able to hear the questions in press conferences, so this is deliberate.

[Sydnie]

102. You're full of it Scotty - they cut the money for firefighters and police

on the street and spread PORK under the guise of DHS. I know, my county sherriff bought a speed boat. Can't imagine what a country sherriff needs with a speed boat when all he does is watch the local house of corrections!

[CottonBear]

105. Q: When will * make SCOTUS nomination? A:We'll know when * announces it

...we'll move forward in a timely manner..someone who all merkins can be proud of...civil and dignified way (nomination process)..."

[annabanana]

106. How can we get an accurate transcript of this?

[CottonBear]

107. Good question. There must be a transcript.

"When freedom takes hold...when democracy takes hold...it won't look like ours..." YA THINK?

Rpeorter is grilling him about equal rights under the law...democracy...Saudis...(must be about Karen Hughes foot-in-mouth statement about Saudi women.)

[Norquist Nemesis]

108. Press Briefing Summed Up Here

Iraq/War on Terror: "We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here at home"

Hurricane/FEMA: "Lessons Learned", move forward, "Lessons Learned"

Supreme Court Nominations: Move foward in a "Civil and Dignified" manner

Indictments (all): "No comment" "on-going investigations"

There you have it! Whew! Short day today.

[Seansky]

113. thanks. He must be drawning...

[kma3346]

109. Being unable to hear the reporters

is just ridiculous. I just started watching press releases recently. Has it always been like this?

[Spazito]

114. I distinctly remember I used to hear the press questions quite

clearly before the recent 'renovation'.

I am sure it is just an innocent tech problem, :sarcasm:

[Liberal In Texas]

119. No, I think this is exactly they way they want it (see post 110).

That way you don't get to hear that annoying bit of truth in a question, just the spin.

[kma3346]

111. And now he's scurried away like the little rodent he is

Boy, I bet he's glad this one is over! What a creepy little weasel! Every thing that comes out of his mouth is either a lie or a non-answer.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[The Witch]

112. Use this for tomorrow's briefing

[bunny planet]

115. Priceless, send Scotty Bingo to Keith Olbermann

He will love it.

[Theres-a]

116. Could you add "Impordant" to that?

It drives me crazy,and he always says it!!

[AzDar]

117. Oh, God....Love it!! LOL.... n/t

[Spazito]

118. This is great!

One suggestion, if I may, and that would be to put /finger pointing with your 'blame game' square. Scottie seems to be using that a lot as well.
