Bush's panic on NBC

Per Frank Rich.
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/101605Z.shtml

"...Mr. Bush's paroxysm of panic was must-see TV. "The president was a blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts," Dana Milbank wrote in The Washington Post. Asked repeatedly about Mr. Rove's serial appearances before a Washington grand jury, the jittery Mr. Bush, for once bereft of a script, improvised a passable impersonation of Norman Bates being quizzed by the detective in "Psycho." Like Norman and Ms. Stewart, he stonewalled."

is there video of this online anywhere?

1. I saw it. He stood there, looked down at nothing in particular ...
Stammered, and stumbled.

13. It was from his Today show appearance - the one where he was hammering
nails at a Habitat for Humanity building site. Matt Lauer said something like "Isn't this really just a photo-op" and actually asked the Chimperor some reasonably tough questions. The Chimp was PISSED. It was early this past week (I think) and there were multiple threads here about it.

12. interesting - at about 4 min. (at msnbc link), bush stepped toward Lauer
Edited on Sun Oct-16-05 05:28 PM by jean
saying (something like) 'you're quoting a lot of Democrats who have problems with what I'm doing ...' as soon as he took that step, Lauer reached out and put his right hand on bush's right shoulder, reaching across bush's chest and patted his shoulder, like a body language block - bush stepped back and Lauer continued ...

Reminded me of bush charging the moderator during one of the prez debates and beginning a rant, and getting away with it. This time, bush had to step back in line.

31. yes .. also the other 'workers' slowed way down on their hammering
Edited on Sun Oct-16-05 06:46 PM by jean
during the interview. It got so there'd be just one tap, every once in a while.

Also, Laura bush moves her head back and forth, like she's saying 'no' while she talks.

15. BEAUTIFUL!!!
Comparing Bush to Norman Bates? I like.

"It's long been my hunch that the WHIG-ites were at their most brazen (and, in legal terms, reckless) during the many months that preceded the appointment of Mr. Fitzgerald as special counsel. When Mr. Rove was asked on camera by ABC News in September 2003 if he had any knowledge of the Valerie Wilson leak and said no, it was only hours before the Justice Department would open its first leak investigation. When Scott McClellan later declared that he had been personally assured by Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby that they were "not involved" with the leak, the case was still in the safe hands of the attorney general then, John Ashcroft, himself a three-time Rove client in past political campaigns. Though Mr. Rove may be known as "Bush's brain," he wasn't smart enough to anticipate that Justice Department career employees would eventually pressure Mr. Ashcroft to recuse himself because of this conflict of interest, clearing the way for an outside prosecutor as independent as Mr. Fitzgerald."

It's so interesting to see what we all knew for so long become part of our national dialogue.

Wow.

34. Because we should never have invaded in the first place.
We not only should rebuild at no cost, we should apologize on our knees to the Iraqis, impeach the scoundrel who ordered this, and ship his as off to the Hague for war crime trials.
