* Press Conference

[Scout1071]

Anyone watching this disaster of a press conference?

Just wanted to revisit the subject of * wearing a wire. If you are watching, please note that each time he gets a question, he gets quiet like he's deep in thought and he kind of stammers for a minute while it looks like he is receiving answers, then he just rambles on, doesn't really answer the question and kind of changes the subject. But there is no doubt that he pauses after each question from the media and looks like he is straining to stall while he listens to the answer in his ear.

I'm DVR'ing so I can watch it back again, but seems so obvious.

1. I'm at work.....

The local AM station was bringing it, but went back to normal programming after ten minutes. Please keep us updated.

As for the pause before the answer, that happened in the debates as well. It was guessed that he was thinking. HA HA HA!

[elizm]

5. The pause before the answer...

I thought it was because he was waiting for a prompt from the wireless bulge in his coat...:)

[iconoclastic cat]

21. His spinal parasite got drunk before telling him what to say again.

I hate when Spiney does that.

[driver8]

40. Spinal parasite!! That's funny! n/t

[Scout1071]

6. It just seems so obvious

that he has some type of ear piece. SO OBVIOUS. I want the MSM to start calling him on this again....this time without all the laughing.

And Bush.....stop trying to joke with each member of the press corp...this is not your personal open-mic session.

[bush_is_wacko]

22. Oh yes it is his personal open mic session

All in an effort to re-direct attention. I get the feeling the REAL media was elsewhere!

[genieroze]

25. It was guessed that he was thinking

Can't you smell the wood burning?

[JoMama49]

26. What I want to know is ....

How do you negotiate with yourself? He said that several times. Can anyone explaine to me what that means?

[RevCheesehead]

28. In means that in his schizoid world, one of them is losing it.

I guess that "**" stands for two distinct personalities!

[jsascj]

29. I thought the same thing when I heard that absurdity...

What a moron!

[genieroze]

32. He's schizo? eom

[SnoopDog]

37. Looks like he was reading answers from this lecturn...n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Yep, I've noticed his usual

umm-ing and er-ing... He's just so articulate-NOT.

[elizm]

3. What an idiot!

He cannot answer a question...What is this 'no negotiating with myself' bullshit? I guess Rove has told him..."Use this when you are too dumb to answer the question".

[Darknyte7]

4. It's being aired on C-Span radio... n/t

[Boswells_Johnson]

8. I wonder if he uses that goofy smile and chuckle

when he tells families of soldiers in Iraq that he wants the war over as soon as possible.

[Demit]

7. He JUST explained what "in the red" means, with that execrable

"in other words" habit he has. ARRRRGGGHHH. He has said FOUR times he's not going to negotiate with himself--when a reporter asks him a question. He's acting like he's too sly to be forced into answering their questions. He said "Don't bother to ask"--then corrected himself by saying "Oh, I can't tell you what to ask".

He JUST referred to everything being hard work. Things are "complex" too. That might be the new catchword. Oh my God, I hate this man.

and he's wiggling his lower jaw repeatedly.

[Scout1071]

11. I know what you mean. Everything is so complex and hard work

that we regular folk just wouldn't understand and he just doesn't have time to explain it all to us layman.......he basically just says "You don't worry bout that."

Sorry, but seems like he ALWAYS favors the camera capturing his left side. During the debates. During press conferences. And thus far has only called on reporters on the right side of the room so he's staring in that direction. Sure he looks over to the right every now and again, but by and large only being shot from the left. Interesting.

[momzno1]

31. as a social worker I need to point out

that a lower jaw wiggle can be indicative of tardive dyskenesthia, a side effect of anti-psychotic medication...
hmmmmmmm.

[genieroze]

33. It's hard work to think? eom

[driver8]

41. Complex? Rovie must have taught Georgie a new word. n/t

[chelsea0011]

9. President Moron in prime form

He's just a Ramblin' Man!:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Darkhawk32]

10. What in the blue hell is this press conference for? n/t

[TexasChick]

13. LOL! I think everyone is still trying to figure that out. n/t

[Dez]

14. God, * is a friggin idiot!

It's hard to believe that he is the president of the United States.. it's even harder to believe there are a LOT of people that voted for him! Unbelievable.

[driver8]

43. You cannot tell me the American people "elected" this idiot.

I'm sorry -- there is no way...NO WAY that the people of this country elected this stumbling, bumbling, idiot over John Kerry. I will never believe it.

I watched him stumble through the elections and make an ass of himself; he could not have looked more "un-presidential" if he tried. I see that he is continuing where he left off.

This guy truly is an idiot.

[goclark]

16. So we will know that he is the President

He has to get out in front and make sure we know that we can stop counting votes now.

[bush_is_wacko]

23. Covering up what new evidence has come to light perhaps?

I'll be watching the internet hard today!

[RevCheesehead]

27. CNN caption said "End-of-year Press Conference"

I guess maybe he's going back to Crawford soon.

[Scout1071]

12. He's out of practice with the earpiece

And it shows. The MSM better take another look at this situation. They never answered what the hell the bulge was...and you can better believe we won't get any angles of his backside today.

Whoa...he called on somebody towards the right side...progress.

ENOUGH WITH THE STAND-UP ROUTINE....THAT IS PISSING ME OFF!

[TexasChick]

17. Scout, there's another thread on this conference, and bush_is_whacko

noted that Chimp answered a reporter "Don't ask. It's not in the Christmas spirit" or something close to that. What was the question, do you remember? I'm sure it needed answering, I wouldn't think it would have to do with the Christmas spririt.

[bush_is_wacko]

24. They said it was the flap on his bullet proof vest. n/t

[Selteri]

15. Line Item Veto?

He wishes he had a Line Item Veto...

Now didn't the republicans fight that tooth and nail in the 90s?

This guy is a joke, we're screwed by his actions. Compassionate anything from this guys mouth is laughable, even talking about Compassionate Americans since Bushy hasn't quite grasped the idea of what Compassion is.

To Bush Compassion is killing a people quickly rather than torturing them to death maybe? --- We want to be compassionate Abdullah, (breaking fingers) But you need to tell us about the terrorist cell that operates from your Mosque in Denver!--- Doesn't sound like compassion to me.

[Darknyte7]

19. The line item veto was declared unconsitutional...

by the Supreme Court in 1998.

[Red State Blues]

35. Actually...

The Republicans have always been big supporters of the line item veto (except when there was a chance Clinton would get it.)

[Selteri]

18. LOL - Rumsfeld

"He's a good decent man. A caring fellow." ?!?!?!?!?

"Cares deeply about the families and grief?!"

What the hell. I think part of the followup question "Going to the dentist without your gums numbed." fits this administration though.

[Selteri]

20. What a way to end a conference - Plug a highschool

football team.

[Scout1071]

30. Yes, and the worst part is that the stupid football team from Crawford was

the headline on MSNBC. Something like "Bush holds his end of the year press conference and congratulated the Crawford Pirates who just won the Div IIA championship in TX."

Honestly....that's what they reported from the Press Conference. What in the hell is wrong with our media?

[k8conant]

34. What a relief that the smirking chimp is looking hard...

for intelligence: "I'm going to find somebody who knows something about intelligence," Bush said, "and capable and honest and ready to do the job."

[joanski01]

36. This man's stupidity

is amazing!

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. He actually said that?

What a simpleton! :crazy: :silly: :dunce:

39. It would be difficult to maintain a friendship with someone who makes

fun of me and thinks I'm stupid.

Perhaps you can find out why your friend stutters? Lots of good research material available on the Internet.

bush probably stutters because he's out there front and center, without his mama protecting her baby cub whenever someone gets a little aggressive with their questions. She isn't there to wave her hand and scoff, "Leave my poopsie-woopsie georgie alone. I'm through with you!"

[Kellis]

42. All your posts

seem to either defend Bush or explain away or justify the election fraud and Im sick of it.
That man is a fucking LOSER with a capital L.He is an IDIOT! UNFIT for office much less the Presidency.
He is a disgrace to America.He is one of the most intellectually challenged humans in politics I have EVER come across and if THAT fucking bothers you then YOU are in the WRONG FORUM buddy.

[sabra]

45. Bush regarding Clinton "Guy had a way with words."

<<SNIP>>
Q Mr. President, I want to kick forward to the elections in Gaza in a few weeks, if I could, please. As you know, presidents back to Carter have searched for a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Your dad worked hard for it. Your predecessor said once it was like going to the dentist without getting your gums numbed. I'm wondering what great --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Guy had a way with words. (Chuckles.)
<</SNIP>>

And you sir don't...

[New Earth]

46. omg i'm watching it now on CSPAN

this is horrible. wtf is wrong with him? creeeeeeeeeeepy

[Vinnie From Indy]

47. The Moron Keeps Getting His Ear piece Messages Mixed Up

Did anyone notice that Smirky blurted out the bizarre statement "get away from the media" in the middle of one of his signature, mind numbingly stupid ramblings? Obviously, the person on the other end saw Smirky headed for danger and told his dumb ass to wrap it up and the idiot repeated the instructions out loud. He did that in one of the debates.

As for the timing and purpose of the press conference, I would suspect it is related to the ACLU's claim that the Shrubinator personally ordered the torturing of detainees. The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. ShrubRaHam Lincoln started with firecrackers in frogs butts and now he has real live people. What a world!
