Important! Entire Bush reaction to Colbert video posted! He's mad!

[grasswire]

Go here. The video of Colbert's performance is posted, but when it comes time to cut away to Colbert's audition tape, the camera stays focused on Bush for the entire duration of the video! Many minutes of glowering, snarking, frowning.

He's really, really, really pissed.

http://news.aol.com/dailypulse/050306/_a/how-funny-was-he/20060503104009990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001



Can someone capture this and send it around?

[0007]

1. Didn't see the video posted. I need directions.

TIA

[Ladyhawk]

75. Thanks, I'm gonna watch it later when I feel like it.

I usually don't like looking at the weed, but watching him try not to squirm should be interesting.

[Duer 157099]

77. Thank you!

Boy those are beautiful flowers aren't they? Too bad there's a pile of shit on top of them! :-)

[Julius Civitatus]

76. Watch from minute 19:08 -- Chimpy gets very pissed off!!!

During the whole Ellen Thomas sketch, Bush is literally seething.
Skip the video to the 19:08 minute mark.

Ouch!

[Kailassa]

80. It's Helen Thomas. , no mispelling our heroine's name ;-)

:spank:

[grasswire]

2. he didn't like the Helen stuff or the David Gregory stuff

You can see his reaction to every bit of the ridicule! It's amazing.

[tridim]

4. Great find!

I'm sure there's tons of great video from that night that we'll never see. You know, because "Colbert wasn't funny".

[grasswire]

5. yeah

We never get to see any of the cuts. I also noticed that during the whole performance, the audience was laughing at every joke.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Priceless! Bush looks like he just ate a cat poop sandwich.

[populistdriven]

7. His worst reaction is to Helen Thomas

what an evil bastard

[fishwax]

83. yeah, his face turns mighty sour at helen's question

:rofl:

Up till then he seemed to handle it fairly well, but he really didn't appreciate the iraq war question. :rofl:

Breaks my heart, it really does :rofl:

[TomInTib]

8. Fast forward to 16:40, if you've already seen the whole clip.

Great find.

[Duer 157099]

9. I can't watch it

Can anyone who can see it manage to capture it as a file? I would LOVE to see this!

[grasswire]

13. I do SO hope someone will capture it...

...because ABC will probably scrub it after a call from Karl.

[Duer 157099]

14. or at least get some screen captures?

pleeeeeeeeeeze? help? someone?

[grasswire]

15. where's crooks & liars when you need them, eh? (eom)

[Duer 157099]

22. you mean besides in the white house, of course

[Nomad559]

25. I do SO hope someone will capture it

I am downloading the video.

:)

[Tuesday_Morning]

11. Having a hard time getting on there

"Sorry, too many user requests at this time."

Ha.

[grasswire]

12. the segment begins at 16:24 minutes into the video

That's when the camera cuts to Bush and remains there for the rest of the time.

[Phoonzang]

16. I swear his face...

...reminded me of a puckered asshole. Also, I didn't think his eyes could get even more beady. :)

[emulatorloo]

17. Kick and nominating n/t

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

[wizdum]

21. He was damn funny, and oh so cutting, and he opened up the guns on dubya

:kick:

[KoKo]

23. He was born and bred in South Carolina Lowcountry....He's not MAD

as in "Crazy" he's just REAL! :D....Those of us from that part of America are VERY REAL if we got out...and carry the good stuff we came from with us.. :shrug:

[aWaKeNoW]

28. I agree! Being from

the Midlands (Columbia, SC), I know from experience that there is a new "Stephen Colbert" attitude coming from South Carolina's younger audience. :)

THANK YOU Nomad!!

This video goes in the permanent vault along with "Let the Eagles Soar" LOL

{B> FMH

[pacalo]

68. Thanks so much for the tip, FMH!

I learned something new today.

You're a hero today, too.

[CoffeeCat]

30. Did you guys see the pResident's remark at 19:07??????????

Did anyone else see this?

At 19:07--the pResident turns to the guy on his left and says, "What did she say?"

The guy on the pResident's left explains that Helen said "You're going to be sorry"
Then Junior says something.

DO WE HAVE A LIP READER IN THE HOUSE?????

I've looked at this several times and it looks like Junior says, "I coulda told him that."

LOL!!!

(Also, at 20:35 during the clip--Bush asks the guy to the left of him, "Who's that?". Junior was asking, who the person was in the clip, who was running after Colbert after he dashed out of the press conference. Junior didn't know it was Helen. Just one more example of Junior being dense. So, no big whoop.)

[babydollhead]

32. did you see him sweating into his eyes? n/t

[Us vs Them]

35. I got "Yeah, you're probably right."

Judging by the look on his face, and what would match with the lips.

[DesertRat]

31. kicked and nominated. n/t

[Roon]

33. Good!! He should always be pissed off

until they walk him from the white house in shackles and leg irons. Then he'll have a reason to be pissed!

[Kurovski]

34. I almost felt sorry for the guy.

Almost.

I'm not a doctor, but Bush seems to have a pretty rapid breath-rate, gauging from the rise and fall of his collar.

[Spazito]

37. That's what I noticed as well, his breathing was very rapid!

It seemed to be very shallow breaths as well, very odd unless he was in a real temper.

Edited for spelling error

[grasswire]

51. I counted about 30 respirations per minute

Isn't normal about twelve?

[Spazito]

60. Given that rapid rate of breathing, I guess we are lucky the

bastard didn't pass out from hyperventilating, he sure could have. I am surprised he didn't start banging his head on the table in a full blown tantrum ala a toddler in his/her terrible twos stage, lol.

[dmr]

78. I noticed his breathy breathing pattern the day he

announced Snow as Scotty's replacement. I wonder if there is a health issue they're not telling us about.

If anyone has that press conference, please check how short of breath, or how raspy he was.

[twenty4blackbirds]

86. 'He's the guy who wanted the job'

is what I have to say when I start to have sympathy for him. 'He's the guy who stuffed it up' as well.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Yes, he was pissed BIG TIME!

Especially when Helen Thomas was talking about why going into Iraq and all those deaths! I loved it! I am wondering why ABC chose to stay on * the whole time. Do you think they knew he would react that way? I can hear the backwash now..."LIBERAL MEDIA!!!!"

[pacalo]

38. This is THE best video on Colbert's speech!

I can't believe that ABC's camera was focused on Bush's face during the entire Colbert/Thomas video! Doesn't that say something about ABC's attitude -- they (the cameraman did have a director, didn't he?) were just as interested in Bush's reaction as we were!

Btw, the audience's laughter was much more apparent in this version than C-Span's.

Thanks, grasswire! :toast:

[grasswire]

46. yes!

The laughter was much greater in this version.

Someone needs to do a forensic examination of the discrepancy between the two.

[samsingh]

39. he's a true hero.

[samsingh]

40. i've listened to Colbert three times now

he's funny
smart
witty
and truthful

the idiots panning this performance are cowards and afraid to hear the truth. they should shut up or go to Iraq and fight bush's war.

[IndyJones]

41. Hats off to Colbert for having the guts to say those things to Bush.

Maybe it gave him some food for thought. After all, he claims to never watch TV or listen to the media. He got a shot of how most Americans feel. Colbert gained a new fan here. I had never watched him before, but I will on a go forward.

[this_side_up]

42. Does someone have a fullscreen copy? All I see

is the same thing shown on tv - mainly SC and not much of *

[Kurovski]

43. You have to push the control up to around 16:20 minutes into

the tape, or so.

The camera stays on George throughout the pre-taped presentation that Colbert brought.

[this_side_up]

52. Thanks! I finally figured it out and was

able to see it. I think we need to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windoze and something strange going on with browsers.

With regards to the clip......WOW.

Besides the sweating, there was dry mouth and so many jaw movements!

I am glad I don't claim him.

[samsingh]

44. bush's expressions

He looks angry, arrogant, crafty and unbelieving that anyone would have the courage to do what Colbert was doing. Colbert put it all on the table in front of bush and the rest of his cronies. Showing them that people were still asking these questions. Showing them that they could not keep hiding the truth.

many or most of the media in attendance are as guilty as bush. This was reflected in Colbert's line 'i hold these people in contempt too mr. president'. a brilliant line that reflects how Colbert feels, while reflecting what bush probably feels in his gut towards those who are too weak to stand up to him.

Bush's expression's show how truly evil he is, while totally weak without the Presidency.

Colbert was brilliant and funny. Only people wanting to hear the truth and who have some intelligence would understand the routine. Anyone saying this went too far is UnAmerican. This was one of the most American speeches heard in a long time.

Bravo Colbert. Bravo to a true, true hero with more courage than the cowards and traitors that now critisize the speech. These critics should hang their heads in shame. They have enabled so much destruction through their inaction.

What bullshit - bush was hurt by the speech. People are being killed by his policies. Should'nt the moron-in-chief be reminded by a true Patriot, since the sniveling cowards in the editorial pages of the WSJ, Washington Post, NYTimes, Fox News, NBC, ABC, et al, have their own treacherous heads up their asses (or bush's)?

[Alizaryn]

48. That certainly was a different perspective!

Thanks for sharing it.

[twenty4blackbirds]

49. kick

so I can see it later

[xxqqqzme]

53. raisin brain looks bored

and wondering how much longer he has 2 sit @ the table. I think raisin brain only finds humor when it is at the expense of another person - that's why he has degrading nicknames for everyone - the ultimate put-down - 'I don't have 2 know your name - I'll give you one'.

I always go back 2 Richard Clarke saying he has no curiosity. Colbert's satire is completely beyond chuckle-nut's comprehension - it doesn't fart; it's not a pants-ing nor a wedgie so he doesn't care - he has no sense of humor. Unless he is THE center, he has no interest.

[grasswire]

54. off topic, but....

...in 1988 I saw a Virginia license plate saying XQQQME. It took me a couple of minutes to get it. I had that for a screen name years ago on another board. It's cute.

[xxqqqzme]

84. I saw it years ago on a CA

license plate. I thought it very clever plus I love Steve Martin.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

55. This is *not* to be missed! n/t

[annabanana]

56. fascinating! Can any of our technocrati set the tape up

against Chimperor's reaction film? He frowned and shook his head during Helen's famous question, but I would like to watch his reactions right next to the physical/visual bits..

[grasswire]

62. that would be very interesting

I think it is significant that when the questioning starts, Bush has to pick up his glass of water. A typical bit of body language. Too bad we don't have an expert in that who can translate.

For me, as the survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of a narcissist, the expressions on his face are very telling. His aides said he looked as if he was "about to blow." I would say that's very true. Duck and cover.

[IndyOp]

57. That's where the TRUTH.... LIES.''

I am still analyzing this Colbert speech as if it were Khomeini -- did you notice this oh so subtle joke:

''Mr. President ... guys like us, we're not some brainiacs on the 'nerd-patrol.' We're not members of the 'factonista.' We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies.''

I got the one's after that about * deciding on Miers never said he 'thought' he said he knew 'her heart' and so forth - I just hadn't gotten the TRUTH...LIES...

;)

[CAcyclist]

70. Did you also notice whe he said Bush was a "Joe"

He didn't said a regular joe, he said "he's a good joe", so it sounded like he was going to say "joke" but he didn't.

[Chi]

58. Check out how fast he is breathing....watch the bow tie rise and fall.

Short fast breaths.
He is either pissed to the point of exploding...or he is loaded up with something (pharmaceutical).

[Minnesota Libra]

59. I am ecstatic knowing the WH Idiot is mad about Colbert's speech, maybe...

....:rofl:the WH fool will have just a little idea of how we feel now.:spank: This calls for a letter to the WH :rofl:

[karynnj]

61. Bush was more in control of himself than in the first debate

Bush clearly didn't find Colbert funny, but he did manage to sit quietly. His reactions in the first debate where he sometimes looked like he was considering attacking Kerry and where he was unable to keep a straight face were far far worse.

[wicket]

63. K & R

:kick:

[abester]

64. It seems to me as if Bush has temper problem

Really, that this guy is unable to keep a straight face or just smile when some relative nobody pulls a gaffe, in spite of his very extensive media and PR training, seems to be to be proof that he is a person who has trouble controlling his temper.

Colbert's performance was awesome! It took real courage

[951-Riverside]

65. Can anyone save it?

I'm talking about the WHOLE thing

[JerseygirlCT]

69. At about 19:35 or so, when he starts taking questions from Helen...

that's when Bush's face really starts showing it. Steaming!

I love that she gets to get to him, even when he thinks he's closed her out!

[fooj]

71. Thanks grasswire...this was awesome.

You wonder why this particular video is posted, eh? Show and tell, perhaps?

[grasswire]

72. I thought about that, too

I wondered if ABC LIHOP. That would be cool, although unlikely.

[Kailassa]

73. Notice B* sourly whispering into Colbert's ear

as Colbert walks to his seat after the speech?
I wonder what threats that spoilt little bully was making.

Watching b*'s face during the "audition" was like watching a puzzled lobster in a pot trying to work out what's happening. Until he realizes that his two greatest fears, Helen Thomas and questions about Iraq, are being brought up together. Then the poor boy sees he's been had and starts steaming.

This is why he wants to be dictator, so he can order future funny men dragged from the podium and slowly hung with piano wire.

[Mr_Spock]

74. Snarky McShrubco is pissed again??

When is he actually happy anyway?

It's tough being a loser I think...

[Doctor_J]

79. In fairness to Smirky,

I don't think he can sit still for 20 min no matter what's going on - PDB warning of an imminent attack, emergency plan for a big hurricane, etc. Just having to pay attention to something for that long taxes his coke-addled brain.

[nolies32fouettes]

81. watch him sweat.

[ray of light]

82. I really want to watch this but it won't work. Does anyone know what

component is missing? Is there a link elsewhere that might work?

[grasswire]

85. I don't know why it won't work for you...

....but Earl posted some still clips from it at this thread:
