CNN: Bush glares at missing explosives questioner
Anyone else just see that tape? While shaking hands with supporters at a rally, a reporter shouted: "Mr. President: Who's to blame for the missing weapons in Iraq?" A very unhappy Bush looked at him as if he wanted to KILL the guy.

Then he shot the guy another glance when he moved further down the line. Guess he doesn't like that story.

What an asshole.

3. Chimp's idea of a great question is, "Mr. pResident, I adore you so,
may I please be allowed to lick your ass?"

2. That was his signal to the Secret Service to make they guy "disappear".
In other circles (CIA for example), that is referred to as "having an accident".

25. Doesn't deserve even sarcastic consideration. This is about our troops.
If Bush doesn't like people asking him about the looted explosives, how does he think the troop feel about people actually driving cars full of those same explosives right into them?

Once again, you got wrong fucking priorities, Mr President.

5. Wow, what would he have done with 4 years of
blowjob questions? His head would explode. The big difference is, obviously, that this issue is IMPORTANT. This bastard refuses to account for any of his actions (or inactions).

Worst.
President.
Ever.

6. Were they showing that specific clip
to show the glare, or did you just notice it while they were showing a larger piece on *?

11. They did it to show the glare, IMHO
The piece was about the overall back-and-forth of the campaign. What was great about the tape is they stuck with the shot until you saw RichBoyPunk's second glare.

Great work by the tapeheads (for once).

23. which is simply further proof of what a dud
he is. Any president with half a brain would have expected the question and been prepared for it. Spoiled brat boy can only respond with a dirty look. Not very presidential.

"Mr. President, who's responsible for the weapons missing in Iraq!?!"

GLARE ONE:


handshakes...

GLARE TWO:


I'm trying to find a way to get it to video. The stills just don't communicate the bile.

27. And a video clip.

Not the most defined clip, but I had to run it to tape and then re-record.

10. This is exactly why he needs to go.
Not because he didn't have a good answer for that question. That'll happen to all presidents. But because the VERY IDEA that someone would DARE ask such a question of him, enrages him! ME, THE KING! ASKED a QUESTION!

13. Why should he concern his beautiful mind................
with inconsequential nonsense like that? What a Dick. He's forgotten that he's a servant of the people. He treats everyone like they're HIS servant. Enjoy it while you can numbnuts, you're going back to the pig farm, for good!

like these will be the ones to finally bring you down by showing what a spoiled, whiny ass you really are!

17. Yes, just saw that on CNN -- during Blitzer's show
If looks could kill...

The clip was 11 minutes into Wolf's show. "Mr. President, who's responsible for the weapons missing in Iraq!?!" <GLARE>... handshakes... <GLARE>

You could certainly see why the crowd-filtering is necessary for the campaign. The guy can't take criticism.

18. ARROGANCE personified..reporter should know political security comes first
Hey, that guy must have perjured himself when he signed that loyalty oath...no one is supposed to get that close to the President with a 'real question.'

Someone in the 'security' detail has some explaining to do to Mr. Rove.

20. how did he get so close to the president?
I thought there was a pre-decided upon list of questions that the reporters were allowed to ask. That was way too hard for him! :P

41. That's why I was so hoping that Kerry would have cornered him .
At the 2nd debate i was hoping that Kerry would have said..

"By the way, I have heard scuttlebut about illegal cheating devices at these debates.. I am removing my jacket to show the world, that I can communicate without a 'voice in my ear'.."..

If Bush did not do it as well, the implication would be there.. and if he DID, well...that would have stopped the buzzzzzz tight there or it would have revealed him to be the cheater we all know he is..

to the legitimate question? OH..that's right, he's the president, he doesn't have to answer questions or explain himself.

42. Yessiree.
That's what I like to see in a pResident, a total lack of respect and regard for all of us, even thought we are the people he works for.

So what if the shit is getting deeper, why should Bush soil his beautiful elevator shoes wading through the muck leftover from his fucking over of America. He'll let the little people clean up his mess. Besides, we should be honored to wipe the shit from his shoes.
