We Got An Issue-Bush* Just Slammed Senior Citizens...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He said they have faulty memories.....

[carpediem]

1. I just heard that

you could see him kind of lose it when he realized he just insulted an entire demographic - one he needs to push his ridiculous social security reform through.

what an idiot.

26. C-SPAN HAS THE VIDEO UP NOW!

[cheezus]

27. it's 46:39 long, what time does the blunder occurr?

i can't sit through 45 min of the chimp

[Roland99]

28. I'm at 25:18 and haven't heard it yet...

but...I had a couple of phone calls but the topic wasn't taxes at the time.

[Roland99]

29. GO to 31:30...Ken's Follow-Up Question is When Bush Says It

Bush sputters it out while Ken is trying to ask his follow-up questions. There were a few noticeable moans from the audience.

[mattclearing]

2. What an asshole. n/t

[aden_nak]

3. He'd better hope he's right.

Although in my experience, senior citizens (as a voting block) never, ever, EVER forget.

[HeeBGBz]

25. You got that right.

Hopefully people will start to wake up.

[slor]

4. Holy Cow...What channel?!

Got to save that clip!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. It's In His New Conference...

[durablend]

14. What was the exact quote?

Anyone know?

[rockedthevoteinMA]

6. What did he say that in response to?

Sorry - no tv here... :wtf: what an ass!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Some Guy Asked Him A Question About Tax Cuts For Seniors

When He Was Governor Of Texas....

[carpediem]

11. a reporter was asking a question he didn't like

basically implying that * had "gone down in flames" on a tax reform issue. and * jumped in and said I don't think you call a billion dollar tax cut flames. Then said you aren't a senior citizen, but you are acting like one, you know faulty memory... then he caught himself and went to the next question. it was pathetic.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

12. OMG...

that is such BS!! Thank you both. I cannot believe he said that.

We are witnessing a man have a major psychological breakdown maybe?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. It Was More Stupid Than Venal...

But it's a look into his soul...


I wonder how many other prejudices he has...

[pansypoo53219]

19. no

he thinks he's funny. and he has a nasty 'sense of humor'.
so i would term it venal.
or just an asshole.

[Cocoa]

16. awesome

I'd like to get Robert Byrd to comment on this.

I recall someone, maybe Bush himself, dissing Byrd for his age during the Iraq debate...

[pookieblue]

30. Oh My Gaaawd.

Even more proof that this man is an A**hole.
His real personality came out with that comment.

I can't wait for The Daily Show tonight. Jon S. is going to have a field day with this.


Hey Mr Bush... you ain't too far from being a Senior Citizen yourself.
Buttwipe.

Okay, my venting is over..
for now.

[StClone]

7. How many are hoarse from yelling at the *&^%@!$ Monkey?

I had to turn the channel. His lies, faulty logic and pure evil manipulation have driven me to new levels.

[Canuckistanian]

9. That's who elected him...

He's accusing all those senior citizens (who voted for him) as defectives?

[candy]

10. I'm a senior citizen and --------I forget what I was going to say!

[anarchy1999]

32. It's okay, Bush said so this morning. You just quite simply have a

faulty memory, you are a senior. It's okay, we all still love you here.

[peacetalksforall]

15. idiot juvenile fratboy cheerleading back slapping death-loving

vulgar no-class uneducated insensitive sinister hypocrite madman

[unpossibles]

17. I went to C-Span

and was not sure what to watch - C-Span3 is showing something called "Lost in Space" - is that the Bush conference?

[American Tragedy]

36. Damn, if you've got something to say, don't hold back

That does sound like the stream of consciousness invectives that rush through my mind whenever I see or hear Bush, higher class.

[Bush on crack]

18. Aaah!

Sometimes I think I get to the point where I can't take it any more! How can you be so evil and vile. How can you say one thing and in your heart be plotting and scheming to bring down all the great programs this country was built on. The Chimperor in Chief is out of control.

[Rose Siding]

20. When will there be a transcript?

This one should make the rounds!

[Roland99]

23. Yeah...someone post a clip or a transcript as soon as you can!

[LizW]

21. Terry Moran on ABC was digging at Bush about that after the press conferen

He said it was a president "freelancing" (code for talking out of his ass, I think). He said Bush's communications team was rolling their eyes when Bush said that.

Oh, I forgot -- Moran also called Bush the "Cheerleader in Chief"!

LOL!

[KeireG]

22. Tremendous blunder!

The democrats at the "War Room" should POUNCE on this.

[cthrumatrix]

24. dems should remember when voting in 2006 & 2008

[anarchy1999]

31. I think Bush's handlers aren't going to let him out much more.

Out and out disaster! Seniors have faulty memories.......

PRICELESS!

[fob]

33. I can see it clearly where bush*y picked up that phrase...

cheney: Then we'll privatize SS and with all those brokers fees will add another trillion to my, I mean OUR bottom line, g-dumbya!

bush*: But idn't that stealin' from the old folk a bad thing unka dick?

cheney: Nah! You know those seniors have faulty memories, they'll vote for it and then say they voted against it! Hahahahaha, whooo boy, I'm onna roll too-nite! Now just go out there and sell that stinker. Remember, faulty memories, so go for it.

[rniel]

34. Well most of them voted for him

so they must have some kind of short attention span..

[Acryliccalico]

35. Yes he did slam seniors

but what put a smile on my face is that he brought up Clinton. If he has to bring up Clinton than he knows he is in trouble.

[kerstin]

37. If it were up to the Bush crime family,

we would all have faulty memories. Hard work, all that record-sealing.

[corporatemedia]

38. Talk about "faulty memories"......

go to approximately 39:30 on the c-span video.

there's a point (shortly after) where he appears to forget what he was saying and for about 15 seconds either says nothing or stutters and stammers!

GREAT press conference. Thank you, CHIMPREZEE !
