"That's a cheap shot...you can't do that on Int'l. TV."

in response to SS rerform Q.

[Bluebear]

1. waaaah

[tallahasseedem]

2. I missed the question, what was it?

CBS cut away.

[Horse with no Name]

3. lol, didn't matter cause he bailed

and never answered the question after he admonished the journalist.

[NYC]

4. So, rich people like Dick Cheney

will receive reduced Social Security benefits? (paraphrased)

[tallahasseedem]

5. Nice. Bet that reporter will never be there again.

[NYC]

13. I don't know who he was.

(Paid only partial attention.)

We should follow that reporter to see which way his career heads next.

[CottonBear]

26. Can anyone find out who that guy was?

We need to find out who, what news organization, phone #, e-mail etc.

Any good DU researchers out there?

[NYC]

30. Reporters were identified as they spoke.

There was a caption under each reporter. Someone else must have been paying closer attention, and should be able to tell us.

[CottonBear]

33. I'll try to find out his name. n/t

[rzemanfl]

6. Did the guy say Cheney's name? n/t

[karlrschneider]

7. Yes.

n/t

[ArnoldLayne]

10. Yes he did

I loved it.

[NYC]

11. Yes, rich people like Dick Cheney.

That was what made Bush call it a cheap shot. It did not appear to me that Bush was making a joke.

I wonder if anyone else thought he was serious. Anyone?

[HeeBGBz]

14. He was serious

That was a chastisement.

[NYC]

21. Thanks. I thought so.

I noticed that he didn't "pause for laughter" as he so often does.

So what did the reporter do? Did he disclose the closely guarded secret that Dick Cheney is rich?

[rzemanfl]

15. You see, calling Cheney "rich" is like calling his daughter a

"lesbian." I am shocked, shocked I tell you!

[Straight Shooter]

8. So, the Prince of Cheap Shots can't handle cheap shots?

What a big baby, a big, whiney baby.

[signmike]

9. Yeah, he barbed Cheney! Haha - pissed off the monkey

He's toast now -- I sure hope it was worth it.

[bpilgrim]

12. he thinks he's a comedian instead of the pResident of the United States

the press wasn't laugh'n it up as much as before.

it is gonna be a looooooong 4 years for him and us :scared:

peace

[NYC]

"Some people don't like me." (said Bush)

I noticed that no one laughed when he said that. No one.

[bpilgrim]

17. he sure got that one right

good thing he can't read the DU :evilgrin:

:hi: NYC

peace

[NYC]

20. If he had left out the word "some"

it would have been a moment of truth.

:hi:

[bpilgrim]

22. lol

dig it, he would have had to have said something like "6 billion people" to get closer to the truth but you know how he is with the truth ;->

peace

[Treblig]

23. "Some people don't like me." (said Bush)

I noticed that too. Now that's gotta be the understatement of the year.

[spanone]

32. Seems he WAS right about that one fucking thing.

[Treblig]

16. Not only that,

he looked liked the fool that he is.

[bpilgrim]

18. true dat

[Treblig]

27. Thanks guys,

I hope to contribute more.

[Oilwellian]

25. And......

This on wasn't on "international" television. Stupid fucking idiot.

[0007]

28. I would imagine that was the highlight of the press conference.

[CottonBear]

29. It was the highlight. * didn't get to say "God bless America."

The networks and Rove yanked his sorry ass out of there.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. have I mentioned lately how much I loathe that indescribable piece of
