Seriously, how is the corporate media playing chimp's gaffe?

[senseandsensibility]

Are they swooning? I wouldn't be surprised. Any comments on his icredibly stupid comments? Table manners? I know I shouldn't ask, since I think I already know the answer.:-(

1. I noticed that MSNBC was trying to cover for him by...

telling us what he said and then show us snippets of what they want us to hear. This morning GOOD MORNING AMERICA show the tape with him chomping down and talking bushit.

[senseandsensibility]

3. So they just showed the tape without comment?

I suppose that's better than I was expecting.

[butterfly77]

5. No. kelly o'donnell another bush protector

felt that she had to explain what he felt and thought before she played each snippet, like we needed her damn explaination.

2. Right now the Media are trying to COVER UP Bush's non-existent...

evacuation plan. Did this administration learn NOTHING from the Katrina catastrophe? An evacuation plan should have begun days ago. Many other countries are almost FINISHED with their evacuation efforts.

One of the saddest e-mails I saw on CNN this morning....a student e-mailed her mother saying, "Mommy, please don't let me die here."

(At least Bush was able to get in his G8 bike ride. :sarcasm:)

Would America please STOP DEFENDING this buffon of a president?

4. As long as the media keeps defending him

many Americans will just believe what they're told. x( That's why we suffer so much when Dems refuse to speak bluntly whenever they're given air time. The media will NOT do its job, and the repugs will lie. That leaves us, and the time for etiquette is long past.

6. Surprisingly, Tweety seemed genuinely concerned

over how simplistic and out of touch Bush and Blair were in their conversation.

he actually appeared concerned about Bush's epic incompetence and compared him unfavorably to his father.

I was somewhat surprised.

Maybe since they consider Israel the center of the universe, the danger of Bush and his policies to their 'holy land' has somehow at least temporarily made them see the need to connect to reality.

8. Tweety?

I suppose it's getting a little too difficult for even him to see the "sunny nobility" these days.

[blm]

10. And every other week Tweety says Bush is Churchillian. Surely, Tweets

is one confused pundit. Maybe he should try journalism instead of opining out of his ass.

7. I'm waiting for KO

and John Stewart. The others don't matter to me.

[senseandsensibility]

9. I agree, and I hope someone posts about it.

I love reading DUers comments.

[City Lights]

11. I turned on the tube just for KO.

Also looking forward to Stewart and Colbert tonight.

12. CNN has it on the first page!

Including the clip... With captions... :)

Not sure if this works:

13. Tells Putin he has to go

I heard only a minute of Tweety, but he was laughing that he heard Bush had told Putin during one of the meetings that they were talking too long and to hurry them up- HE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE!

This is exactly the kind of report that should get a going over in the MSM. We have the right to know that he isn't doing his job! What the hell is he President for, he doesn't take any of this seriously.

[senseandsensibility]

14. It's almost like his performance was a parody.

It could be performed on SNL without any changes and get big laughs.

[peaches2003]

17. Sad thing is

his "performance" was not a performance at all. It was him! Only reason we saw it was because the G8 was covered by the press where Rove could not control every minute and hide the real Un-Curious George from the world. We saw the illiterate arrogant ill-mannered frat-boy half-drunk George as he is in real life- disgusting.

[peekaloo]

15. CBS played up the "oops" angle.

pissed me off. A "this is how people talk when they think no one is listening".

[senseandsensibility]

16. Ew...corporate media at its worst, it sounds like

I can just hear Curic spinning it as a cute bumble on chimp's part and giggling with that big smile of hers.

[antigone382]

18. He was being "blunt" according to NBC News last night

Not profane. "Blunt." Sounds manlier.

And he said "SHIT" because he was "frustrated."

Like ** truly gives a damn that people are dying. Sure.

So there you have it. He's not an arrogant, ignorant jerk. He's only expressing his unique, frustrated manliness.

:puke:

That's their "godly, Christian leader" setting an example for godly, Christian children everywhere!
