Subj: The Smirking Chimp: Why did Ari Fleischer hold up a sign on 911 that said:

'Don't say anything yet!'

From a poster a Smirking Chimp:

I remember reading an newspaper article (can’t find it at the moment) stating that right after Card whispered in Bush’s ear that a second plane had hit the towers, Ari Fleischer standing in the back of the classroom held up a sign for Bush which read “Don’t Say Anything Yet”. Several journalists in the classroom apparently saw this sign and at least one reported on it. Clearly, Ari Fleischer should be subpoenaed to explain the meaning of this sign.

"In the back of the room, Press Secretary Ari Fleischer catches Bush's eye and holds up a pad of paper for him to read, with "DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET" written on it in big block letters. "

1. obviously, they didn't want the chimp to stray off script

he can't do improv very well.

2. Of course he held up a sign

If you were in Ari's shoes wouldn't you?

3. Obviously, with 3000 people burning in the towers,

their primary objective was NOT TO FRIGHTEN THE CHILDREN.

4. and in Ari's mind

he added, "you moronic ape."

5. I had always assumed

that * had come to a page in the children's book containing too many words he didn't know how to pronounce.

6. They wanted to think of what to tell him to say,

because he obviously does not and cannot think for himself.

Seems pretty obvious, but that's just me.

7. yup

he sat there because he had no idea what to say or do & Ari The Liar didn't want him to try and say something on his own.

8. Another question

I do not remember this - but am just now wondering why were BOTH Card and Fleischer at that little classroom?????

Even if it was just Card - what was this supposedly high level guy doing on a little trip to read a book????

Even tho it was linked to the Education bill - couldn't numbnuts have handled this himself and come back home????

Stiill doesn't make sense that Ari was there instead of Washington to do daily press thing.

Methinks "They Knew."

[Zero Gravitas]

9. you're right

The Chief of Staff and the Press Sectary going on a trip with the "president" is irrefutable proof that "They Knew".
