[CatWoman]

1. now get your ass over here

and repaint my house!!!!!

:D

dammit, I missed it. Turned it on, but was too late.

I hope someone recorded it.

[mshasta]

2. no shit!

[rox63]

3. Even ABC News is admitting it was staged

Wow... The MSM must smell the blood in the water, and they are turning on *. :bounce:

[Rockholm]

13. ABC had a really good piece on it.

I really like Terry Moran.

[Captain Hilts]

16. Moran defended Helen Thomas's patriotism to McClellan today. nt

[don954]

4. holy crap! hell froze over?

is that pigs i see going over my house?

[raccoon]

95. I love that picture! nt

[lpbk2713]

5. Even Gergen said it was blatant.

The wheels are falling off the BFEE Express as we watch.


I love it.

[Reciprocity]

30. That was a shock for me.

He even admitted that he had never seen "any" administration go to these links as * has.

[juajen]

49. Uh, excuse me for being picky

but it's "lengths" not "links". You have officially been visited by the spelling police. I bide my time, and then I strike. All's hell that ends hell!!!

[kestrel91316]

75. No, juajan, I'M the spelling monitor here!

Stay off my turf! LOL


:evilgrin:

[skids]

80. NOBODY expects the Spelling Disquisition!!!!

We have two secret weapons:

1) A ruthless loyalty to the rules of grammar.

2) A tenacious eye for transpositions, juxtapositions, and interpositions as well as appositions of the same.

and

3) The flawless ability to spell the words "misspell" and "grammar"

...three, THREE secret weapons!

1) A ruthless loyalty to the rules of grammar.

2) A tenacious eye for transpositions, juxtapositions, and interpositions as well as appositions of the same.

3) The flawless ability to spell the words "misspell" and "grammar"

and

4) Vivid, if disturbing, childhood memories of English class.

...four, FOUR secret weapons!

1) A ruthless loyalty to the rules of grammar.

2) A tenacious eye for transpositions, juxtapositions, and interpositions as well as appositions of the same.

3) The flawless ability to spell the words "misspell" and "grammar"

4) Vivid, if disturbing, childhood memories of English class.

and

5) A lack of anything better to do.

...FIVE, yes, FIVE secret weapons!

:kick:

[ProfessorGAC]

93. That's Good Stuff

Nicely done. I love that skit and you've used it in a very funny way. Nice going!
The Professor

[nicknameless]

82. But you misspelled her name

:D

[11 Bravo]

101. Yo, spelling monitor!

You misspelled "juajen".

(I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.)

: )

[Occulus]

81. No, no,

They "went to the links": playing golf. Except, with this particular appearance, they bogeyed the hole.

[lpbk2713]

92. Alright you people.

I never gave anyone permission to derail my thread. Spelling/grammar police get back in your cages.



j/k

[FreedomAngel82]

53. "Management" must be upset with Bushie

He's going down!

[MADem]

102. He is a moderate GOP type

He worked for Clinton for a year and a half. http://www.davidgergen.com/index.php?page=biography

[Lubernaut]

6. Why did it take so long

for reporters to start being reporters with this bunch?

[thinkingwoman]

60. Anthrax. nt.

[Laelth]

73. No joke.

And well said. A little quote from Caligula is in order:

Caligula (to Tiberius, his uncle, and the current Emperor): But the people love you, Caesar.
Tiberius: Love me? No, they fear me. And that is much better.

-Laelth

[thinkingwoman]

87. Ah yes

Great quote!

[RagAss]

7. Please clue me in....just got home.....

[maddezmom]

86. here's an AP article

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1847749&mesg_id=1847749

[rndmprsn]

8. i'm flabbergasted!

i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes...NBC pulling the curtain back on bushy!

[Nimrod2005]

9. As they say

Praise the Lord!!!! lol...Awesome!

[CatholicEdHead]

10. GE is covering their butts for the long run

they see the backlash coming and are ducking for their long term good.

[FreedomAngel82]

57. More than likely

Something must be going on.

[johnnie]

11. bush's new insignia

[renate]

45. I couldn't have imagined any circumstances under which...

...a picture of the Hindenberg exploding would make me laugh out loud, till now.

Your use of it was very apropos.:rofl:

[Jeanette in FL]

12. CNN too

They just had a segment on Lou Dobb's with Malveaux. She said that it was practiced 2 times before Bush went "Live". She said it had been on Satelite and everyone was watching the rehearsals. Then they went to the Broadcasting of the Real Event. They showed the rehearsal. We were all saying that this morning, that this was scripted and one of the most bizarre things we had watched this morning. Great.

[KittyWampus]

28. "Satellite" Sports Announcer for college football was on radio talking

about a recent game where he inadvertently let loose an expletive. A fellow sports announcer called to say he kept a card with the word 'satellite' in front of him during games... cause even when they're not on the air... the satellite feed is still going.

[question everything]

31. Even earlier, on Blitzer (without Blitzer) hour (nt)

[Booster]

48. Anderson Cooper's next segment "The making of a Photo-op".

[Kurovski]

74. Chimpy McPhoto-op is getting his cage rattled

all over the frickin' spectrum of the media.

[Shine]

14. The Great Unraveling has begun, my friends.... n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. It has been going for six weeks. But you are right, it's gathering speed.

[Shine]

36. Do you like yours buttered or plain?

:popcorn:

[Carla in Ca]

38. Oh, I'll go get us some more

We can't run out of popcorn! Pass it on!

[Lugnut]

50. I'm bringing reinforcements

[Carla in Ca]

51. WOW! We are all set now, thanks!

n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

62. Don't forget the soda!

And beer for those who like it.

[Hardrada]

83. I'm in Iowa so I will have a can of pop.

[MelissaB]

15. That was great!

On, yeah! :smoke:

It's about time!

[annabanana]

17. and yet CBS..

Insisted that this stuff was what the soldiers had wanted to say.. "to get some good news, and a perspective that we don't think they're getting back home"

Odd for them to be the ones spinning harder than the rest...

[brucefan]

23. I didn't see it that way.

They had a soldier on saying that,but CBS was reporting on it being a staged event

[question everything]

32. Agree. That was my impression

and, really, I think that it was good to talk to the soldiers themselves (don't know if ABC and NBC did that) just to get their POV.

[Reciprocity]

40. I didn't get that impression from them (CBS).

The soldiers were juxtaposition with what we saw on screen. It was a case (soldiers saying they weren't scripted) of don't believe your lying eyes. When plainly they were. At least this is what I went away thinking.

[FreedomAngel82]

63. I noticed that too

The woman reporter told how one solider (they didn't say who it was either) went around and was telling people it wasn't scripted.

[Imagevision]

18. Rove and Bush? --Dumb and Dumber trying to pull this shit off

nothing but desperation and baaad! advice, hey will pull a wag the dawg thing and throw a live conference -- then the dumb broad working for the Pentagon gets taped rehearsing the whole bit.

Bush, getting dumber by the day -- Fitzgerald will drop the hammer, Cheney will eesign due to heart problems...!

[Jackpine Radical]

19. What will Rove do in retaliation?

Or is he totally absorbed with his own little difficulties?

If MSM has really turned, and this isn't a flash in the pan, it's gonna be one helluvan interesting weekend. Almost enough to make me stay in & watch the talking heads on Sunday. Almost.

[FreedomAngel82]

64. Well remember what Rather said

about fear in the news room. Maybe it's no longer there. :shrug:

[CJCRANE]

91. He'll turn up the heat on Iran.

That should keep everyone distracted.

[npincus]

20. SAW IT... links, anyone?

my 3-year old was talking over it so want to see it again later.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

55. Video link to NBC story, very good, below ("troops coached")

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619

[FreedomAngel82]

65. Crooksandliars has it

http://www.crooksandliars.com

[Catch22Dem]

21. I just got home...what was scripted?

Sorry...I'll start digging around for my own answer. :)

[MelissaB]

26. Go here for a list of threads:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5054730

[blm]

22. Finally....after ignoring SCRIPTED townhall meetings and campaign rallies

ALL LAST YEAR.

They're just trying to keep some shred of integrity now before they're unmasked as COMPLICIT in this hellhole of a WH.

Just remember, these bastards alll knew about Rove's traitorous leaking for TWO years and chose to NOT TELL THE VOTERS.

[spanone]

24. Lou Dobbs just showed the rehearsals. He was Flabbergasted.

Is there no recourse? White House now admitting it was rehearsed.

[ecstatic]

27. what was scripted? nevermind

Please help us uninformed folks, thanks!

[MelissaB]

29. Scott M is a fucking asshole!

I just watched the full clip on Crooks and Liars. Watch the end of the clip.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/10/13.html#a5354

[bo44]

41. the little turd reeks of discredited talking points

At this stage of Bush's and his band of Greedy Old Prikkks major effort to fuck up our country, even the most casual brain dead observer/consumer of media noise would know that Scottie McPoopiepants is a lying turd.

[qanda]

33. I just saw it here

That was brutal!!!!

[oregonindy]

34. Culture of Corruption at its finest!

[kliljedahl]

35. There is this video

http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/bushphotoopoct1305.wmv

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Take that Scotty, you puffy faced liar!

I can't wait until he has to face the press tomorrow... :bounce: :D

[Carla in Ca]

42. Scotty has the talking points down!

He has already been beamed up!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

39. I just watched the CNN story on this from crooksandliars.com. Good God.

We all knew this was going on, but the wingers need to see it.

[PassingFair]

44. Why are they unmasking him now?

We better gird ourselves. I detect a great white hope will rise from the ranks of the 'puke party to save us all.

Dems need to start leading NOW!

[Cha]

58. You're so right!

Everytime the Dems hear on the m$m that they don't have a plan or whatever..they need to answer it. Don't be SWIFTBOATED!

[FreedomAngel82]

69. Yes

Dean should be out there and talking about the democratic plans. I also hope they're ready to lead. I have faith in Pelosi at least.

[Halliburton]

43. karl must not be around to keep them in check

[Mountainman]

66. Karl is getting his self ready for his first date with sweat peter papa

the back door stopper.

[Nothing Without Hope]

46. OLBERMANN will be covering this tonight - info here plus compilation of

threads on the scripted photo-op plus McClellan's lying press conference - in which, by the way, Scotty also accused Helen Thomas of opposing the war on terrorism!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5054730
Thread title: ***Olbermann covers the scripted photo-op & lying press conf TONIGHT***

[POAS]

47. MIHOP or LIHOP???

Could someone have accidentally on purpose started the feed early without informing the organizers?

[FreedomAngel82]

52. I think I'm living in a really weird Twilight Zone episode

First faux and now them. What's going on???

[Ferret Annica]

54. Or an Outer Limits episode

[Ferretherder]

88. Yeah, 'The Outer Limits' - it could be ...

...even creepier than Twilight Zone, sometimes.

And that seems to be where we're at, these days. I'm LOVIN' it!

By the way, cool name.

[tamtam]

56. Oh shit

2% approval among African Americans. Approval rating below 40%. Damn, I'm having a good day

[DemoTex]

59. Brian Williams relished that report.

Every second of it. I think Scott McClellan's total bullshit today brought this steaming pile of shit to the lead story of national news. The presstitutes are finally pissed.

[flying_wahini]

68. i just LOVE the visual imagery here

[Marr]

61. It's ALL been scripted for YEARS. Funny how they've suddenly

decided that's worth reporting.

[sepia_steel]

67. I would celebrate but

I've just been informed that getting all happy over it is a really stupid thing to do.

:D

[stevedeshazer]

70. Be happy

I am.

We deserve it! :)

[sepia_steel]

72. Oh I am.

Just having a nice snark out of frustration with pessimistic arseholes. Don't worry, I'm happy all over the place. :D

[CrackpotAmerica]

71. It Was Better Than Cats! I'll See it Again, And Again, And Again!

He should have had Karl Rove hook up his earpiece from under his suit!

:nominated:

[progressoid]

76. You caint trust them librul gernalists.

I betcha they dun made that up with them hi teck computers

[lonestarnot]

77. Yahoo news calling it totally scripted!

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

78. and even Faux news!

[goforit]

79. Geee With Rove hiding out.......All threats to media disappear.

[eridani]

84. Too little, too late

Why weren't they this honest 4 or 5 years ago when it would have counted for something?

[JVS]

85. calling What totally scripted?

[LWolf]

96. Good question.

I guess you have to watch tv to know.

[Clintmax]

89. Has Freeperland exploded yet?

They're probably trying to defend Chimpyboy...this is hilarious!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

90. Now if only someone would leak the actual "script" - because

there obviously was one. (I'm not talking about the transcript of the event - I'm talking about whatever was passed out to those soldiers in advance.) At least he didn't make them call him Dear Leader.

[spinbaby]

94. This morning NBC called it...

...just trying to make the soldiers feel comfortable in front of the camera.

[underpants]

97. YEP! The Today show was bending over (both ways) to cover

The redhead was on pebble beach telling us not to look behind the curtain.

[mnmoderatedem]

98. just think about it....

soon the bush administration will be longing for the good old days when his approval rating was 39%. :evilgrin:

[Lisa0825]

99. The 10pm news in Houston said almost as much too!

They said something along the lines of, "While the event was said to be unscripted, it was actually rehearsed..." and said that Scotty responded to questions about it and gave some lame sound bite. It was NOT a positive segment!!! :evilgrin:

[nolabels]

100. Like pot calling kettle black?

Sounds like duck and cover to me. Corporate MSM is just jumping on the band wagon. Like if there was some element of Corporate MSM worth checking out we all wouldn't be in this mess.

Corporate MSM is actually complicit in the whole thing and why anyone would give them a free pass is beyond me :shrug:

NBC owned by this company named General Electric is the corporation that makes the :nuke:'s that helps your world go round :think:
