1. CHILLING.

Thanks, bookmarked.

[helderheid]

2. I've seen that before - it's stomach churning and scary as hell

[spanone]

3. he 'disagrees' with international law......so he breaks the law, therefore he's a criminal

[live love laugh]

21. I disagree with income taxes. Maybe I won't pay next year. n/t

[Rude Horner]

4. K&R - People need to watch Bush squirm in this video

Just incredible. He knows damn well he's breaking the law, and I'm so tired of him using 911 as a prop, and even more tired of his bullshit "The Amercian people expect me to protect them" crap. :mad:

[live love laugh]

5. I don't know about "corners" but Bush sure acts like the asshole that he is there. nt

[Philosoraptor]

6. This is the real bush no one ever sees.

And I'm sure it's even worse than we imagine.

[Rude Horner]

7. Yeah, that finger pointing and trying to intimidate

is, I'm sure, just the tip of the iceberg for the way the guy acts behind closed doors. And you can see the anger set in when he's confronted on an issue. He doesn't have the intelligence to counterattack on facts, so he just starts getting mad.

[elehhhhna]

10. is the clip of "Matt, they wanna KILL your CHILDREN, heh-heh." ?

[tblue37]

20. I think that was said to David Gregory. (eom)

[blondeatlast]

24. Yes--but you can tell this is the current talking point. nt

[blondeatlast]

23. That really struck me too. If this was any ordinary office,

sticking your finger at someone's chest would get you smacked upside the head.

I don't like Lauer, but I have to give it to him this time for sticking to his questions and a superhuman amount of restraint.

:scared:

[Supersedeas]

42. still wanna have a beer with this slime?

[MiniMe]

8. Note to *, your "job" is to protect the constitution, not keeping safe by shredding it

[helderheid]

9. YES.

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. Right. "Bush, you didn't take an oath to protect me, you took an oath to uphold the constitution"

If he did that, protecting me is the natural byproduct.

[Mika]

11. "YOUR family is in danger if we don't get the tools (money) we need."

A CLASSIC shakedown by thugs.

[bdamomma]

33. bullying again, and instilling fear is one of fratboys deadly games

he just likes to taunt people, just like how he taunted those frogs when he was younger. He is a sick SOB, and tell me why he is still in office.

[WinkyDink]

37. Don Corleone never threatened families! Ask Frankie FiveAngels!

[wtmusic]

12. "But the timing isn't right for impeachment."

Get this lunatic out. Now.

[VP505]

13. I know its only

a pipe dream but wouldn't it have been priceless for Lauer to have said: sorry Mr President the one who is wrong on that is YOU, its NOT YOUR job to protect ANYONE, your job is to protect the Constitution, not only are you doing a miserable job of protecting Americans your destroying the very Constitution you supposed to protect as well! Is once in a lifetime too much to ask for, to see some so called News person stand up to the BS and confront a President like that, someone far enough along in their career so that Bu$hCo can't destroy it?

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Matt Lauer is an assh*e, and has done much more to promote BuchCo than any

minor confrontation could make up for.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Golfing buddies, they are.

:puke:

[HeeBGBz]

32. .

[babylonsister]

15. 'My job is to protect the country', by vetoing the DHS bill? I think not. nt

[Alpharetta]

16. Tell the families of the missing US servicemen torture is OK

Bush says torture laws are irrelevant. I don't know how MIA families can support him.

[Jade Fox]

17. So, if you don't agree with a law, you can break it......

Bush comes right out and says that in this video.

[Beelzebud]

18. Matt do you have kids? Imagine your kids. Now imagine them DEAD.

Because these people want to see your children DEAD, Matt. Don't you get it Matt? Why do you hate America, Matt? Do you want your children to die, Matt?

[spanone]

19. bu$h* tortures for Matt.....how reassuring.

[tblue37]

22. I HATE the way he steamrollers over people with his

"Let me finish" BS. He aggressively invades people's space and won't let them get a word in edgewise.

[immoderate]

30. "Invading people's space" seems like a Bush standard strategy.

From individual reporters, to sovereign countries, the Bush game plan is to invade their space. Bush pressing on Lauer, and Lauer not budging, is the subtext of this encounter.

--IMM

[Alpharetta]

31. It's all compensation for the Wimp Factor plus his shame:

He'll always be the 9/11 President. No matter how pugnacious he acts. No matter how many countries he invades. He was the one who went on vacation for a month instead of reading the Presidential briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US"

[WinkyDink]

38. As a guy, Lauer wasn't budging; and as a TV star, Lauer wasn't moving from his mark!

[paparush]

27. Bush to Rove: Fart Blossom, have Matt Leinart killed....

Rove: The football player?

Bush: Hell, I dunno if he played football, just kill the sumbitch.

[MarinCoUSA]

28. Lauer should have poked his finger back- into Bush's chest.

Bush is such a pathetic ass.

As Bush tries to suck the intelligence out of the interview with his torrent of words, he completely fails to see that a pathetic liar he is.

The man ain't nothing but a con job


And his body language (always putting his hands on people- in some kind of primate dominance behavior) is also revealing of his insecurity.

[ejbr]

29. "I am not going to discuss our techniques...

because I don't want the enemy to adapt." ???? So, if we talk about you waterboarding people, will they start to be captured wearing scuba gear you unmitigated prick?

[truth2power]

34. What's the date on this interview? Was it 9/11/06? n/t

[Kablooie]

35. And to think that at least 30% of Americans see Bush's view as honest and admirable.

Do you realize that this means that, on average, out of every three people you meet, one of them completely agrees with Bush. Still.

[canetoad]

36. Frank Hardy, legendary commie/pinko/dirtbag author

described in his unions vs silvertails saga, 'The Outcasts of Foolgarah', that stabbing finger in the chest motion of which Bush is so fond.

The finger of scorn.

[Marr]

39. "They wanna kill yer family!"

That is so insulting. It's creepy and imposing and just outright inappropriate.

I just wish someone would tell him to stop this base fearmongering and speak like an adult for 5 minutes. And when he says his job is to "protect you"... god, I just wish I was the interviewer. I'd ask him which part of his oath included a promise to protect me.

His job is to uphold the Constitution. He has not done his job.

[opihimoimoi]

40. Classic "EMPTY LANGUAGE...NEGATIVE FRAME WORKING" BY A Malignant Narccisant

Very clever and to 30% or so...it sells....people who are unaware of the techniques used by Bullies, NPDs, usually get sucked in...Its a verbal Scam....

To me...BUSH kinda sounded like A DESPERATE CAR SALESMAN
