[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Word of the day: The Regime! n/t

[sabra]

26. I can't handle Scotty's voice

[myrna minx]

27. Iran: It's not the US that is saying suspend actions

it's the world community that's saying that.

[helderheid]

28. can we kick this to greatest with recs?

[Norquist Nemesis]

29. Notice how he's pushing "The Regime" over and over

Communicate the evil, Scott.

[rodeodance]

43. over and over and over

[annabanana]

33. Oh yeah.. "regime" is the word today

(one that must be changed, no doubt)

[Norquist Nemesis]

39. LOL! "...to stop Iran....er THE REGIME!..."

[enid602]

122. ironic

Odd choice of words; that's how so many retired US Generals refer to Bushco.

[annabanana]

35. who is Axelrod?

[sabra]

38. he has said "regime" 20 times already

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. He's up to 40 now.

[helderheid]

44. Good God the boy does spin like a top REGIME!

[myrna minx]

53. Apparently "regime" is the word of the day.

He's desperately trying to make it seems that it is international.

Helen: What's in their arsenal? What do you have in mind? T

[annabanana]

41. first two questioners were plants

[rodeodance]

[kid a]

:rofl:

[karlrschneider]

46. It's all stick no carrots?

Was that Helen?

[merbex]

50. All he had to do was dust off transcripts for the lead up to Iraq War

days

This is just a do - over for him

[helderheid]

51. GO HELEN!

[annabanana]

57. Scottie, at least, is "limited"...

[annabanana]

54. the president of Iran is a loooony!

[Debau2005]

58. Pot meet Kettle!

[Norquist Nemesis]

56. The only people saying "Iran" are the reporters

Apparently, "Iran" is no longer a part of Scotty's vocabulary.

[sabra]

59. I am waiting for him to say Saddam...

[annabanana]

62. It's a cinch he can't say the Iranian Presiden't's name....

[Norquist Nemesis]

63. Jon Stewart will do a counter on this PC

It might be worth the fun to look at the transcripts and see how many times he said it.

I'm guessing at least 104. LOL!

[myrna minx]

67. OMG--Iran wants freedom now.

:scared: Lemme guess, Iranians are freedom lovin' people. :scared:

[annabanana]

60. We have to refer to the "Bush Regime" now... all the time...

[Webster Green]

61. Calling Iran "The Regime" is so needlessly provocative...

These guys are really nuts!

[Norquist Nemesis]

68. It worked for them once! I'm not so sure it's going to work again.

[Debau2005]

64. We stand for freedom for all?

WHAT??? Am I dreaming??? Did he actually make that statement?

[BR_Parkway]

69. Yeah, he said it - I'm on the way to the courthouse to get married

and file my taxes with all those tax breaks...

[sabra]

65. their support for Terrorism...

[giant_robot]

66. I don't like where the rhetoric is going....

"regime" + "loony president" = "regime change"

I hope my math is wrong! :scared:

[sabra]

70. Scotty won't answer the question re: Iraq trailers

[Viva_La_Revolution]

71. ohhhhh! asking about the trailers for bioweapons

scotty says we are re-hashing old news. gee, who was the poster that said that would be the memo? duh.

[Whoa_Nelly]

72. The "Freedom Mantra" invoked

We are a country that stands for freedom for everyone in the world.

The people in Iran want to be free.


STFU, Snotty!

[annabanana]

73. trailor report!

hahahahah "an old issue"... covered under old "intel was wrong" umbrella

[kid a]

74. Does Carl Cameron have any credibility left?

[sabra]

76. nope

[jayfish]

94. If He Didn't Want To Talk About The DIA Report....

why does he have a copy of it at the lectern?

Jay

[Joe Fields]

75. Same dance, different partner.

Scotty basically saying that we must bomb Iran into a free democracy.

Scary.

[Catrina]

109. What happened to yesterday's talking point 'wild speculation'?

Bush and Scotty repeated that one over and over yesterday ~ so it's no longer 'wild speculation'? The two of them hadn't gotten the PNAC memo, written up by Perle and Ledeen (aren't those two under investigation for various crimes btw?) until this morning?

Why are Bush and Scotty always the last to know everything? Like Brownie leaving, eg?

I guess the Iranians are anxious to have Tehran replace Baghdad as the 'worst city in the world to live' category!! They too want Bush-style democracy. Has anyone asked them if they want nukes dropped on their country Scottie?

[myrna minx]

77. Questions about the sand toilets of mass destruction. n/t

[sabra]

80. LOL

[myrna minx]

92. Scotty yelling at the WP calling them reckless.

It was almost an afterthought that he forgot to be "mad" at them. :rofl: Even he doesn;'t believe his own bull shit.

[merbex]

78. They are definitly selling another war - You gotta wonder

if they reconvened a focus group and found out that certain words worked or were overused and new ones had to be brought in

They make me sick

[sabra]

79. Scotty: in other words * lied re: Iraq trailers

[npincus]

81. Q: hasn't the outing of Valerie Pame and Brewster Jennings devestated

our intelligence capabilites in Iran with regard to their nuclear programs and assessing an actual threat to the United States?

(my question)

[annabanana]

84. I wish! ....someone ask it, now now now

[spuddonna]

93. Damn! That's an excellent question!

Mind if I email it to Helen Thomas? :)

[npincus]

97. please do.

thank you!

[spuddonna]

105. done! :) n/t

[lpbk2713]

82. That pudgy little Snotty.

Why doesn't he find a more decent, honorable job?


Like telemarketing or banking or defense dept contractor.

[annabanana]

83. C"MON HE knew the intel was WRONG

and said it again and again

[Norquist Nemesis]

85. There we go again! Attack the messenger!

:eyes:

[annabanana]

88. yup

"he didn't know it was wrong when he said it".. oh yea he did...

[kid a]

86. Bush Lied - that is the truth, get over scottie!

[Whoa_Nelly]

87. Just tuned in a couple of minutes ago. Any ?s re: "The Leak"?

Seems today's PC is nothing but Iran. Yes, a big deal, an important topic...and so far sounds like Snotty is defending the idea that Iran must be taken down...'course Rummy and * have said that's not on the table...

[annabanana]

90. not yet

[Norquist Nemesis]

91. Oh, it's not about "Iran". It's "THE REGIME!"

[sabra]

89. bitching about WashPost being "ir-res-ponssssible"

[sabra]

95. Q: when did * know the intel was wrong

Scotty: it's the CIA's fault

[myrna minx]

98. He is sooo full if BS.

:grr:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

96. did he just say 'imporTant??!!"

I had to have mis-heard

[kid a]

99. ooooo . . . he's a hard charger !!!

[myrna minx]

103. Did you know that the president is focused in victory in Iraq?

:rofl: Now it's the media's fault. Scotty wants the media to apologize.

[helderheid]

100. it's OLD NEWS!

:eyes:

[sabra]

101. "laying the foundation for peace for generations to come"

3rd time saying this crap

[Roxy66]

102. What network is he taking about?

[myrna minx]

107. Oh--it's all wild accusations.

:rofl:

[helderheid]

104. Wild accusations!

[sabra]

106. the debate shouldn't be about old news, the American people want the

mission comleted in Iraq

[helderheid]

111. Actually Snotty, we want ANSWERS and the TRUTH!

[H2O Man]

115. He utterly lacks

the moral capacity to tell the truth.

[Astrad]

108. Is there no one from the Washington Post there

to defend their story?

[myrna minx]

118. I haven't noticed anyone from the post.

They would have had a question by now, I'm sure. :shrug:

[sabra]

121. WH gave their press pass back to Jeff Gannon

[helderheid]

110. I take it back

[karlrschneider]

114. Ivan something from Baltimore? I've never heard of him...

:eyes:

[H2O Man]

112. He seems a little edgy .....

.... and I'm not sure that insulting journalists is a good choice for him right now.

Scotty mistakes himself for Mike Tyson. I fully expect him to bite someone's ear today.

[steve2470]

119. lol too funny nt

[Skip Intro]

113. time passed to focus on the lies THEY used to "justify" attacking Iraq?

what a slimy disgusting gang these people are

[myrna minx]

116. Harry Reid singlehandedly destroyed immigration reform.

paraphrase -of course.

[IChing]

117. "The American people say, The American people say"

but we don't believe in polls.......Do you not understand this?

[helderheid]

120. BINGO!

[IChing]

129. This has one of his new "ongoing investigation" talking points

The American people want, the American people say and we are...blab, blab and blab

[Virginian]

146. They have always subbed "The American People" for I.

How do they know what the American People want if they don't pay attention to polls?

The American People want to impeach Bush.
The American People want Rummy to resign.

[helderheid]

123. what is the definition of victory in Iraq

[sabra]

124. real question: What is "victory in Iraq" and when will we achieve it

[helderheid]

125. worse in Iraq now than before

[sabra]

126. Scotty questions reporter who says it's chaos in Iraq

[kid a]

127. reckless governing, not reckless journalism

[helderheid]

[sabra]

Again--Helen is a prophet.

[helderheid]

140. It wasn't Helen, was it? Sounded younger.

[myrna minx]

142. That question wasn;t from Helen.

I was thinking about what she said before the conference. Sorry. My mind was racing without telling anyone else about my non sequiturs. :silly:

[helderheid]

[steve2470]

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/briefings/

[izzybeans]

143. What was Cheney's role as CEO of Halliburton in proliferation of nuclear
