Bush mumbles into his tie during press conference... what the...????

[VolcanoJen]

He's seriously the strangest Chimperor ever!!

To watch the video, go to James Poling's blogspot:

http://jamespoling.blogspot.com/2004/12/bushs-very-bizzare-behavior-at-press.html

When you get to the video, fast-forward to 16:47. Just after Bush says "Saddam Hussein, so there's..." he pauses, looks down at his tie and mumbles something, then he goes back to the conference as if nothing happened.

What in the hell was that????

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

God $*&@%^$ !*@^ it! It wont let me watch it! A dialog box pops up and says, "rtsp is not a registered protocol." WTF?!

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Real media

[Danocrat]

3. me too

are you using firefox?

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. I am, I tried it with IE (puke) and it said "page can not be displayed"

crappaty crap CRAP!

[uncle ray]

34. there's a setting to turn on for that

but i'll be damned if i can remember where! try googling rtsp and you might find something. i had that problem and fixed it, but i'm on a different type of computer right now so i can't help, sorry!

[SteveInBrynMawr]

52. Works fine on my Mac

I have RealPlayer installed and am running Mac OS 10.2.8 If all else fails, go to your local Kinkos. Maybe one of their computers will let you see this.

It is really amazing to see Bush - literally in mid-sentence...hell, mid-paragraph - suddenly stop and mumble something into his tie...reminds me of the "bulge in his jacket" talk. Maybe he got distracted by some info being fed to him through that hidden earpiece he wears.

[aWaKeNoW]

4. Hee hee

I think said "you know" when he looked down, but I am not sure what it was he dropped or lost...er..wait, he already lost his mind..so yeah it definitely looked like he must have dropped something. LOL

[VolcanoJen]

5. Can anyone watch it?

It comes up on Real Player for me... and it's worth watching, seriously, Chimperor has a momentary glitch that's pretty fascinating.

To me, it's almost as if he stops mid-sentence to say a prayer, or something.

I do hope others can watch it!

[spanone]

8. I can see & hear it. I have no clue what he says.

One wierd fucker.

[liberal_in_GA]

13. I think he was talking to

Karl Rove again, just like in the debates. His mic must be wired thru his tie. :P

[BlueEyedSon]

6. Sounds like "get off me"...nt

[VolcanoJen]

10. Do you think he was using his earpiece?

It's almost as if he was speaking to the man behind the curtain, ya know?

[BlueEyedSon]

11. "The man behind the curtain"... kinda funny euphemism for the

voices in his head.....

[mcscajun]

15. Sounds and looks to me like some A/V tech was fiddling around his feet.

At least...that's what I HOPE was going on.

:shrug:

[BlueEyedSon]

9. I use Firefox, and I had to do something a while back to get it to

recognize that protocol, but now it works OK. I found the solution using Google.

[latteromden]

12. Sounds like "Adolf Hitler" to me? It sounded like he was trying to compare

Saddam to Hitler, you know, "And Saddam Hussein *coughcoughhitlercough* ..."

Which would be unprofessional, and very strange.

Then again, I regulalry interpret things oddly. Once, I got "Sir Nothing is breakdancing in Texas with a ham and cheese sandwich and watering plants in the hood."

So, REALLY, don't ask me. :P

[VolcanoJen]

18. LMAO, latteromden!

:D :D :D

[mcscajun]

14. Real-Time Streaming Protocol

If you're using Real Player 10, go to Tools, Preferences, Content, Media Types, Advanced. Click on Real-Time Streaming Protocol

Too bad they don't have RTSP turned on by default. grrrr.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. OMG! Thank you THANK YOU!

:loveya: :hug: :yourock:

[jimshoes]

16. Maybe somebody

hacked the earpiece frequency and said ...psssst George, your fly is open again!

[Zen Democrat]

19. Beetlejuice!

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. That is the weirdest damn thing I have EVER seen!

:wtf:

Damn it, I want a real president. :cry:

[VolcanoJen]

21. It's almost as if he mumbles "freedom fighter"

This is driving me nutso... that is some wickedly strange behavior, isn't it?

[Coltrane]

22. C&L just put the video back up!

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2004/12/22.html#a1129 has the video.
It seems that the page isn't working on James's website

[Contrary1]

23. Subliminal message

that can only be understood by his true believers.

[marc_the_dem]

24. actually

its like something out of rainman... "I'm an excellent driver"

[Penguin31]

25. Here's audio

I removed the specific audio of the mumble from the video, slowed the audio down, then increased it's volume.

27. Sounds like "middle ____ " ? n/t

[gulfcoastliberal]

42. Sounds like "Adolf Hitler" to me

Weird.

[Cheswick2.0]

26. he was belching up the Iraqi baby he just ate

[Johnny Noshoes]

28. eewwww

[SnohoDem]

29. Was Barney with him?

Seriously, it sounds like he said, "Get over here", as though he was talking to the dog.

[Catfight]

30. I think he says, "wait a minute?" n/t

[VolcanoJen]

36. So was he talking into his necktie?

Speaking to "the man behind the curtain" who was screaming crap in his ear and made Chimpy default into overdrive?

Weird.

[radfringe]

43. maybe that's how God talks to him

if God talked to Moses through a burning bush -- then why couldn't God talk to bush through a neck tie?

Maybe it was his early christmas present -- a Ronco Mr. Talking Tie?

[Skittles]

31. it's Bush being a dipshit

happens a lot

[sakabatou]

32. "Get over here!"

the chimp says, while a chain erupts from his palm and stabs a reporter.

It does sound like, "get over here."

[VolcanoJen]

37. "Get over here" is a possibility

It's something like "ere."

I'm not so scientific, but I think it bears investigation. :-D

[Lisa]

33. maybe his software froze up and they had to do an emergency reboot

35. Maxwell Smart. Maybe he will start talking into his cowboy boot heel.

That cowboy get up was something else. Bet the coat was black cashmere. Not exactly roughing it. But I digress. I think he is nuts.

[jimfromthebronx10469]

38. I SAW THE VIDEO AND...

WASNT CONVINCE HE WAS SPEAKING INTO HIS TIE.IT DID LOOK MORE LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING DOWN THE PODIUM OUT OF OUR EYESIGHT.NEVERTHELESS THE THINK BUSH SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE CHAOS HE BROUGHT THIS COUNTRY.

[radfringe]

44. SOMETHING DOWN THE PODIUM OUT OF OUR EYESIGHT

KKKarl Rove? Secret-hidden teleprompter screen?

[leftofthedial]

39. Ithink he just stepped on something at his feet and looked down

to see what it was, midsentence

The reall disgrace is the lies spewing from his liehole every time he opens it.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. Most of those podiums have some kind of pull out step for shorter

persons. Maybe he accidently hit it and cursed at it. What a Goofball....but that does look weird.

[Malva Zebrina]

45. this is the funniest, weirdest, most bizzare thing he has even done

I have no doubt now, someone is feeding him his lines and that person resides in his tie.

[opihimoimoi]

46. He pissed in his pants again, thank God for mini Depends.

[shadowknows69]

47. Georgie isn't here Mrs. Torrance

REDRUM REDRUM!!

[imax2268]

48. I GOT IT...!

He was talking to Condi who was hiding under the podium...he said..."just nibble it"...

seriously though...that was weird...that man is definetly off his rocker...

[fooj]

49. arrogant SOB

[American Tragedy]

51. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
