1. This is not a pretty sight
to see or hear! He's so defensive and angry, even his body language is defensive.

and the chin jutting and the "I'm talking to idiots with charm" tone.

It's hard to describe what he's saying because it's all pseudo logic.

We are succeeding in Iraq, though, you betcha.

have been so far? The man is nuts!

The GOP has owned the media for at least, ten years!

KKKarl has ridden herd on the media like the Nazis did in the 30s!

14. I'm not watching. Someone please tell me...
Try to be "Average Joe", and not the educated, jaded, and world-wise person that most of us are.

To Average Joe, is * really losing it? Is he being an ass for all the world to see? Would a non-political person see this and say "he's having a breakdown" or "he can't handle himself in public" or similar?

I only ask because of the echo chamber effect. You know how that goes.

Thanks.

Bush 30% might say, they've exasperated the President with those mean questions.

16. This is intense.
He is angry, hostile, paranoid, and out of control. He makes the pre-resignation Nixon look pale in comparison.

Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 10:33 AM by sfexpat2000
That "hail millionaire, well met" grimace is creepy. He's very uncomfortable, he keeps twisting from one side to the other and clutching the podium, leaning back and forward. The body language is excruciating.

65. It was not good.
At one point, he said he was going to make something "perfectly clear." It echoed the old "crystal clear" Nixon line. The blaming of the media for the public rejection of his Iraqi policy was likewise straight from the Nixon projection of inner demons on journalists days. It was ugly.

48. Nixon was as collected as a Buddist Monk in comparison to
the complete and utter mental (and a little emotional) de-compensation ole' * is doing right now. I am trying to feel sorry for him because he's NUTS! It's really difficult to feel sorry for the meltdown of an sociopathic persona. :(

21. I expect to see a bulletin any time now that he's been admitted
to Bethesda Naval Hospital with the flu.

My guess is they have a floor ready and waiting for him in the psych ward.

37. And he got some chuckles for that. I think they're afraid not to laugh.
On of these times, he's going to lean so far forward, he'll go right over the front of that podium.

63. That doesn't even make any sense unless he's talking about
his administration. If he is speaking about Saddam, Iraq was a dictatorship and therefore not free. I sorry, I just don't get what he was trying to say with comment. But I suspect he doesn't know either.
