Curious George W.

[H2O Man]

The president is going to speak to the nation at 1:45 pm est. He is going to react to the House vote. In sports competition, we learn early that one should never "react" immediately to the opposition; rather, you take your time and then "respond." I've noted that this fellow Bush is beginning to react, angrily at that, to members of the Congress who are representing the will of the people.

Are others tuning in to see Curious George?

[hobbit709]

1. Nope! I don't have a spare TV

or the money to buy one.

[maddezmom]

2. I am

actually changed my plans to sit a watch the meltdown. :D

[H2O Man]

16. Yep.

Those who think Bush has any ability to communicate know that he needs to be "packaged." He is not an able speaker when it is not well prepared. I think that this shows the White House is feeling the pressure.

[maddezmom]

24. he's running a tad late

maybe the sedatives are working well today. :)

[niyad]

3. my accountant has told me not to watch him, as replacing tv's is a rather expensive proposition.

[hobbit709]

5. And it's not easy proving it

a tax deduction.

[madokie]

4. thanks for the heads up

any day now the blivet is going to blow a gasket, you watch and see if I'm not right on that too

[acmavm]

6. I hope people keep us at work informed about the tizzy I think

he's going to throw. I can picture that pink/red/purple splotched face right now, all pissy looking.

[PA Democrat]

7. Maybe this will be the big meltdown.

George is definitely a person who is used to getting his way. Mommy never taught him to handle disappointment with grace.

[H2O Man]

12. There's a paragraph

in Senator Obama's 2nd book (page 45) where he talks about Bush doing a presentation that was "mostly a reiteration of his campaign talking points," and then "suddenly it felt as if somebody in a back room had flipped a switch" -- and Bush went into his hostile mode. Bush's "eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty."

Well, Mr. Bush, the new Congress is going to interrupt your fantasy.

[lonestarnot]

8. I have to werk werk werk. Please keep us posted H20 Man!

[H2O Man]

21. I'll do

my best! I think we have a few people who will help.

MSNBC just noted "he's never late, but he is today!"

[blogslut]

9. I'll be watching

:)

[formercia]

10. Let him react

and let the people get a glimpse of who he really is.

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. what channel, please? n/t

[H2O Man]

13. I'm watching MSNBC.

I have flipped to CNN. Both will have it. I assume others will, as well.

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. ok, thanks...

and thanks for all the great work you do here, too

[blogslut]

14. He's late

n/t

[H2O Man]

18. Yes!

He is late. Good sign.

[youthere]

58. He was busy gathering "props"

[Patsy Stone]

17. I'm stuck in a cube.

If I can stream it, I'll be there. It would suck to miss the moment he flips Congress the bird.

[LSK]

20. whitehouse.gov streams it

[Patsy Stone]

26. Thanks

I'm streaming it now on MSNBC.

[merh]

30. here you go

http://www.cbsnews.com/?source=homepage_refresh :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

65. Hey, girl!

Happy Friday! :hi:

[merh]

66. Happy Friday to you!

It's been a busy day.

Hope you have a great weekend :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

67. I hear ya.

Friday could not have come soon enough for me. :hug:

Wanna dance?

[merh]

68. LOL

:rofl: that's priceless! What memories :rofl:

[LSK]

19. nothing so far

Blank screen

[H2O Man]

23. It will go

downhill for George once he comes on.

[LSK]

28. "I hear the voices"

Randi plays that quote all the time. It popped in my head right now for some reason.

[eleny]

22. He's late, he's late for a very important date

About 8 minutes late as of now.

[WinkyDink]

59. Trying to one-up the Edwardses in having the media wait. He's THAT petty.

[Klukie]

25. I wonder if he will take this opportunity

to mention anything about the UK soldiers and Iran?

[H2O Man]

27. Good call.

He might well say "at a time when Iran threatens the peace ..."

[LSK]

29. the feed just came on --- and scared the shit out of me

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Did you see the weird visual

The blurry, shaky vision of George Washington's portrait?

[H2O Man]

34. He looks grim. n/t

[LSK]

45. and it went downhill from there

:scared:

[H2O Man]

31. Hubris (page 3)

"As Fleischerrecounted this exchange for the president, Bush's mood changed .... Out of nowhere, he unleased a string of expletives.

" 'Did you tell her I don't like motherfuckers who gas their own people? ... Did you tell her I don't like assholes who lie to the world?' ..."


We don't like "assholes who lie to the world" either, George.

[LSK]

32. the fucker is slamming it

[LSK]

36. "pork laden bill that undermines the troops"

[Patsy Stone]

41. If it was a bridge to nowhere

Instead of Katrina aid, we could talk -- but since my party gets nothing out of the pork, I'm vetoing it.

[Buttercup McToots]

39. He's pissed...

Well...It's war in DC...

shut up, Alex...

[H2O Man]

43. He is.

He is definitely very angry.

[lpbk2713]

52. Piss on him.

He doesn't have anything to do battle with. He shot his wad a long time ago. He's just throwing up whatever feeble roadblocks he can come up with as a stall maneuver to keep him and his co-conspirators out of prison for as long as possible.

[City Lights]

35. I'm listening to Trashbag lecture now.

Democrats, blah, blah, blah. :puke:

Shtrategy, score political points.

[blogslut]

37. Now we know who his real enemy is

Democrats

If there's no money for the troops, why don't you ask your fat friends to give back their tax breaks, asshole?

[H2O Man]

42. The guy doesn't

have the balls to speak without having the group standing behind him. And he doesn't have the balls to speak with the soldiers and military families who oppose him. He is a coward.

[blogslut]

46. It's all theater with them

Smoke, mirrors and bullshit.

Thank god Patricky Leahy is Batman.

[blogslut]

38. No questions

and he storms off.

[LSK]

40. *poof* its over

[H2O Man]

44. "The president sounds

like a school yard bully" -- a wonderful comment by the lady on MSNBC!

[opihimoimoi]

51. HE IS A BULLY....the real kind....suffers from NPD....a psychopath

[WinkyDink]

60. Georgie doesn't LIKE a thwarting!

[opihimoimoi]

64. Bullies think They are in Charge...they don't like OVERSIGHT..Reject it..

[H2O Man]

47. How did you rate it?

I think that the White House erred in having him come on with this little rant.

[Patsy Stone]

48. What was the point?

Am I supposed to think he's all kinds of macho now?

[H2O Man]

49. I know that the

people behind him have always used the tactic of not allowing others to enjoy having news coverage without the White House trying to run interference. Their problem is an inability to adjust -- the tactic that worked when Bush had high poll numbers, and the republicans ruled congress, are not going to work when his poll numbers are in the ditch and the democrats have regained power in congress.

[lonestarnot]

53. Well what did the fucking freak say?

[H2O Man]

55. That the democrats

are playing political games, that he won't stand for it, that he will veto any bill that doesn't meet his needs, and that the democrats must obey his will. Seriously.

[lonestarnot]

56. What a freak. He absolutely believes he is the "unitary executive" and

that no one, but no one can stop his will for power.

[H2O Man]

61. A spoiled child.

Just a fucking brat.

[BeHereNow]

69. Obey THIS, you socio-pathological chimp

:spank:
BHN

[Patsy Stone]

62. Right you are

Because now he appears as the desperate despot he really is: a petulant spoiled child, throwing a tantrum in public.

Too much pork, eh? Yes...the terrorists want to embolden the peanut farmers, and the Dems are more than willing to allow them to succeed. Now, if there was a bridge to nowhere we could build, he might consider it.

[LSK]

50. was he talking to the Republicans in the Senate to stop it??

[dogday]

54. I wish he would wear his little yellow raincoat and hat

It makes him look smarter.....

[Octafish]

57. Monkey's coming un-glued.

"The most vital test of a man’s character is not how he behaves after success, but how he sustains defeat." -- Raymond Moley

The pressure IS getting to Caligula Jr.

The guy is tightly bound and loosely wrapped.

Wouldn't surprise me to learn he never heard of "The Crucible."

[H2O Man]

63. McCain & Lieberman

are on doing an amazing cheerleading routine. They are beneath contempt.

[bleever]

70. Bookmarked, and good night.
