msnbc talking of bush speech today--saying he combative

[rodeodance]

[sutz12]

1. I think defensive would be more accurate... nt

[MissB]

3. Combative is the best word possible.

[rodeodance]

4. I only saw that one clip--but, yes. devensive is also correct.

[DURHAM D]

21. I agree - my thoughts while watching was that he was so defensive.

I would think that even those who still support him would become uncomfortable while watching him act like a two year old who got caught stealing out of the cookie jar and tries to blame others.

On some level his performance today must make everyone who still likes him feel very uneasy.

[rodeodance]

2. Norah saying she realling thinks Pres sincere--he believes in a positive

outcome.

[rodeodance]

6. also saw Bush saying he would not send the kids there if there was no

chance in having a democracy.

[grasswire]

8. yeah?

Norah O'Donnell believes in leprechauns, too.

[MadMaddie]

9. Nora is stupid...

He is living in a dream world.....everyone can believe in a positive outcome but reality overrules * beliefs....and so far everything he believes has been wrong!!

[BOSSHOG]

16. What a bitch!

The positive outcome? Thought that was to come in April-May 2003 Norah .. Guess something got fucked up huh bitch? Just keep on enabling you whore.

[leftchick]

19. that would be Whora

:puke:

[Pirate Smile]

5. Ack! Now live coverage of Darth Cheney. Geez. How much

bullshit can our country take today? Overload alert.

[rodeodance]

11. obviously the WH is out there this week spreading the 'optimism" to us

pessimists!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

7. Combatitive Asshat

. . . that would've been refreshing . . .

[realFedUp]

10. I think the cable channels should hire psychiatrists as analysts

every time Bush speaks.

[rodeodance]

13. hey, good idea--let them treat the media also (esp. Norah)

[C_U_L8R]

12. Desperate

the stink of fear and defeat surrounds everything Bush does.

[rodeodance]

14. they are doing the rounds AGAIN. (gee it is hard work being a Pres).

[blm]

17. Because they are in constant campaign mode - they don't know HOW to govern

Funny, but Clinton could do both. But, he governed pretty well and didn't HAVE to be in campaign mode all the time.

[C_U_L8R]

20. It's like a real-life version of whack-a-mole

Bush pops up again and says the same old tired shit.

When will he learn .. it's deeds not words.
(oh and they need to be GOOD deeds)

[peekaloo]

15. common occurrence for people with dementia.

and this motha fukka is demented.

[bowens43]

18. Militantly ignorant sounds about right.

22. Bush advisor: "You must get your poll numbers up, sir."

Bush: "Aw, geez, I'm so sick of hearin' about them poll numbers. I don't give a f*ck what the American people think."

Advisor: "Um, well...yeah...sir it is still important to the party. Lots of people running for re-relection this year, you know."

Bush: "Shit. So I gotta start doin' them speeches again? In public? And I suppose you'll be wantin' press conferences too. That Helen Thomas, my ass is still burnin' from the last time I came face to face with her."

Advisor: "Yes, sir, we'll need you and the Vice President to make the rounds, public appearances, uplifting and motivational speeches, the whole bit."

Bush: "Alright, but you gotta tell them speech writers to stop usin' so many danged big words. I cain't pronounce them and those sentences are just too long. And I want bigger type, I have a hard time keepin' the flow when the type is too small."

Advisor: "Sir, they're using really large type now. Any bigger and we'll have to make the pages larger."

Bush: "Fine, tell them to leave it be. I guess we just use the same message we've been using the past few years, then...terra...economy's growin'...lots of new jobs...progress in Iraq, stay the course, support the troops...that kind of bullshit?"

Advisor: "Yes sir, we need the messages to be positive and upbeat, and you must not appear flustered or lose your temper or patience with the media. It comes across very negatively on screen."

Bush: "F*ck that! Those SOBs have no business questioning me in the first place! I don't like being challenged. They will do as I tell them..."

Advisor: "Sir, I should remind you that we're not at that point, yet. The facilities are still being built for the dissidents. Until that time, you'll just have to play along."

Bush: "Yea, I know, the good Christian bullshit. Loving father, husband...what time is Jeff comin' over anyway? And where the hell is my drink? It's after 11:00 in the morning and I haven't had a drink since breakfast! Why don't you people do as you're told?!?!?!"

Just another typical conversation in the Oval Office at The White House.
Your government. Working hard for you.
