After watching the disjointed, confused press conference,

[ChairmanAgnostic]

did he say anything new, did he inform us about anything? Did he say anything of importance?

I didn't hear anything, but my mind is still reeling from his lack of logic and wandering vrebosity.

1. I'm still stunned...

...that he actually said something along the lines of "we're working with the Paks..."

Way to make friends, pretzel boy. :eyes:

2. PLEASE somebody get that up on video ASAP

PLEASE

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. what if he meant PACs for the upcoming elections?

hard to tell with him

[Greyskye]

4. it was in the context of Pakistan

one of the questions re. Musharraf.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. I know, but his talk was so scattered - - -

he did not look good at all

[Greyskye]

6. I'm glad I only listened

If I had to look at him at the same time I probably would have :puke:

Listening on the way into work was like participating in an episode of MST3K. He even left lots of pregnant pauses for me to insert snarky remarks into.

9. Already made the news in the UK:

On second read, it sounds as if he did the SAME THING yesterday, and already got nailed for it. For him to use the same insulting term the very next day is, well, nothing short of idiocy/standard-Bush-policy.

Naive Bush slights Pakistanis with a short-cut

President George Bush's fractured command of international nuance landed him in yet more trouble yesterday as Pakistanis protested over his casual use of the abbreviation "Pakis", which is widely regarded as an offensive epithet.

He was trying at the time to defuse tensions, saying: "We are working hard to convince both the Indians and the Pakis that there's a way to deal with their problems without going to war." However, he was not quite working hard enough.

Syed Adeeb, the editor of the Washington-based Pakistan Times, said that he had received about 50 emails from readers complaining they had been insulted.

11. My bad

This wasn't yesterday, it was in 2002. Still, the chimp seems incapable of learning anything, as this is the same offense he caused back then. :eyes:
