NBC Nightly News: Brian Williams BUSTS Bush on Iraq/Terrorism.

[The Cleaner]

NBC's Brian Williams interviewed Bush in New Orleans. Bush got all hot again and said, "The terrorists brought the fight to our shores, we didn't ask for this fight..."

Williams: "But they weren't IRAQI's."

Bush: "I know they weren't Iraqis...I don't think Saddam called up Al Queda and said, 'Attack America'...it's a part of the war on terrorism."

Have you ever seen a more doubletaking, bumbling joke of a pres?

By the way, what is WITH Bush's arms? It's like he's carrying a couple of invisible buckets or something.

[goclark]

1. Welcome to DU, his arm's are Chimp Like

That's why we call him THE CHIMP.

[rodeodance]

11. palms facing back as he walks

[happydreams]

32. Jimmy Cagney used to do that. nt

[DrRang]

40. Homer Simpson n/t

[Sanity Claws]

41. Fred Flintstone, too

[ArkySue]

75. That's the "gunslinger" pose.

Like he's swaggering down the dusty street ready to face off the "evil-doer." At high noon. Because he's TOUGH! the Poseur-in-Extremus. Criminy.
edit-adj.

[ThomWV]

106. Too Many John Wayne Movies, but then any John Wayne movies are too many

[genie_weenie]

138. Have you heard the story about Wayne and Bruce Dern

on the set of the Cowboys?

Wayne told Dern that audiences would hate him for shooting Wayne. Dern responded by saying, "Yeah, but they'll sure love me in Berkeley."

I think John Wayne is one of the biggest Chickenhawk shits of all time.

[mike6640]

132. I noticed the hand thing a few years ago.

If his legs were cut off at the kness, he would be all set to do a knuckle drag.

M

[Phrogman]

88. He's what we called in Texas, "a watermelon toter".....

Some little guys walk like that to try and look tough and muscular, to normal people they look like they're "totin' watermelons"

Most "toters" have what some call a "short mans complex"

LOL

[HereSince1628]

101. All curl, no melons?

[Arkansas Granny]

127. Watermelon toter is a great one. Describes the pose exactly.

Around here we call that short man's complex a "banty rooster complex".

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

2. But Seriously....How Much Did He Go After King george? nt

[alteredstate]

3. I saw the interview!

Holy Cow! Williams was great! And did you notice that Williams sort of towered over Bush?

[Connie_Corleone]

6. And Bush acted like he didn't know what Williams was talking about.

He had that expression on his face like he never heard any criticisms about his presidency. "Low point in my presidency? Huh?"
"Chaos all over the world? Really?"

[erinlough]

24. I started watching with the sound off....

and quickly turned it up to hear the interview. It struck me though that Bush was looking menacing and threatening to Williams. He moves closer and sneers. He is an awful guy, someone I would never want to know in real life.

[hedgehog]

118. I noticed that, too

They were very much face to face. It made me uncomfortable to even watch; but then I'm from the Great Lakes and we tend to stand at a distance. (must be all the garlic from the ethnic food we eat or else because we're so bundled up in winter we can't get any closer!)

[dave123williams]

122. You already know him; he's the boss's dickhead son.

[Cha]

39. My friend just told me that 75%

of the people think bushco didn't do enough for New Orleans after Katrina! He saw it on tv..no link.

[Skittles]

91. sad to know 25% of the people are racist, ignorant dipshits

:o

[Joanne98]

129. That would be "The Christians" during Katrina Xtian radio said..

It's Gawd's curse for having a Gay Pride parade. Then when the Black people were drowning they said, "It's the welfare mentality". I posted it on DU at the time. They had all that crap and worse on their website. I wanted to make sure everybody saw their true colors. They're sooooooo stealth, after all.

[Skittles]

142. yes I remember that stuff

truly sickening thoughts - I asked a conservative coworker why God would spare Bourbon Street if that was the point - of course, he had no answer, like they never do when you point out any semblence of logic

[Sydnie]

4. Didn't you love his answer about sacrafices?

"Yes, American's are sacrificing. They are paying a lot in taxes ... and they took a hit when the economy tanked."

You just moved the tax burden from your back and your friends backs to the lowest paid workers back, you awsswipe. Kiss my ass blivet**, you sorry excuse for a human.

[SammyWinstonJack]

59. Wait, I thought ** lowered taxes? He brags about it enough.

Which is it, did he lower taxes or do we pay too much in taxes? Or is that just a precursor to him asking for more tax cuts the greedy rich, ie, him and his base, the Elite? Chimp boy can't have it both ways. Also, when has Pinhead ever called for sacrifices from 'Muricans? What an a$$ he is!

[ArkySue]

81. Taxes?

Well, hell! Let's do away with ALL the taxes. Too bad Bushco won't get paid then, and there won't be anymore $$$ for them to swipe from the government.

[Supersedeas]

137. Apparently, some folks with off shore accounts are suffering less than

regular 'Mericans -- and they needed an additional tax break

[Olney Blue]

60. 9-11 AND the economy tanked on HIS WATCH

[rodeodance]

5. Brian started with the failure in Gulf Coast, then zapped to failure in Ir

aq--He did very well.

[rodeodance]

7. Bush said something llike he kept the promise to NO. huh?

[nosillies]

8. I know it's cool to bash the MSM

But William's deserves kudos for that. I was cheering.

[rodeodance]

14. the satelite trucks will be gone tomorrow. So lets enjoy it.

[samsingh]

134. we don't bash the msm because its cool

but because its warranted.

we eagerly embraced Anderson Cooper when he did an objective report from NO. We embrace Brian Williams now that he's acting as a real reporter.

fyi
- after 911, i remember one of the first newsreports from Brian Williams. He said something like Bush's status as President could no longer be questioned. Gone were all the fears that he could not handle an emergency. He basically said that everyone now felt that the 'cloud' of a potential stolen election in 2000 had been completely lifted. That newscast still bothers me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. About Bush's arms...

Years ago I knew a guy who worked as a private investigator. He had done some investigations for a lawyer who was representing some sex offenders in a couple of cases that got a lot of publicity locally -- so we'd often see the alleged perps on the news. Anyhow, after working on a number of these investigations, this PI developed a theory: He observed that guys accused of sex offenses who held their arms a certain way almost always turned out to be guilty. Obviously this is completely unscientific, but he was usually right. Even later, we'd be watching TV and we'd see some guy accused of being a perv doing the perp walk, and my friend would say, "He did it; he's got the arms."

Well, anyhow, some 10 years later Bush gets his sorry self "elected" president, and I'm watching him on the news, and he's swaggering along doing the phony cowboy walk, holding his arms like he does, and it dawned on me that he's got "the arms," just like all those sex offenders. Not saying he's one, but he's got the perv-perp arms, for sure.

[Blue Belle]

64. The arms are one of his tells...

when he's lying he walks all stiff-armed and marches instead of walks. It's like his limbs are completely foreign to him.

[Recursion]

87. About Bush's tells...

I was just thinking that he has a lot of tells. I remember him running for governor against Richards: he spoke coherently, in complete sentences that followed on one another (you know, like normal people talk). And he didn't stumble over words. And he didn't talk from the extreme front of his mouth.

He has done all of those things, constantly, since he started running for President in 1999. Some people say it's his attempt at having gravitas. Some people say it's the result of brain damage from a fall. I think it's just that he hasn't publicly said anything true in 7 years.

The talking in the extreme front of the mouth thing is the biggest one; I've found he does that in a very exaggerated way when he's saying something that he knows can be documented as false.

[emcguffie]

130. What does that mean? From the front of the mouth?

I don't understand how you can tell he's talking from the front of his mouth, or what talking from the front of your mouth would even be like. Can you explain a little? I'm not criticizing, just really curious.

Do you mean with a lot of lip action? Enunciation?

[Recursion]

131. It's a little hard to describe unless

you sat through the same interminable speech workshops I did (I have a speech impediment, now thankfully quite mild and rarely noticeable)

When everyone talks they have a focus of resonance; it is the place that the sound is actually being produced. There is also a point of articulation; that is the place where the given consonant or vowel at any given second is being shaped. For most people, the point of resonance is in the throat and the point of articulation ranges from the throat to the lips depending on the consonant or vowel being produced. When * talks the way I'm talking about, he almost puckers his lips, which creates a space between his lips and his teeth. In that space, he does the resonance and articulation that many people do in their mouth and throat. All his vowels are shaped by the space between his teeth and his lips, and with the exception of a few consonants, his jaw does not move (this lip-focused speaking is another thing that makes him look chimplike).

[yy4me]

146. He may have the arms but where the heck are his teeth?

It looked like he left them in a glass at the side of the bed. Strange mouth movement. Toting water mellons? I thought he looked like he was walking with tennis balls under his armpits. Never knew about the "totin' melon" posture. Good grief, its one pathetic thing after another.

[MadJohnShaft]

10. Katrina makes reporters get all feisty and ask questions

[WinkyDink]

98. Many probably had been to NO---as opposed to a vacation in Iraq.

[Mira]

12. How can I see it - I missed it - any replay or video - please tell n/t

[nosillies]

21. It's still happening this second

NBC.

[nosillies]

26. It may be a hard one to catch.

NBC might put it on the msnbc website. Not sure, though. Keep your fingers crossed for YouTube to get it.

[Jawja]

123. It is on the MSNBC

website and I am watching it now.

It is a SAD state of affairs in this country because that jackass STILL has an approval rating of over 30%. :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Replaying now, 6:00 CST (on Hairball).

And Bush looks really, really bad, in many ways.

[City Lights]

13. So did Brian ask Queen George why he invaded a country

that had nothing to do with 9-11 and the WOT?

I saw a blurb of Brian's interview with the Queen on Hardball but then forgot to tune in to NBC to see the whole thing.

[NNN0LHI]

23. You like grey Tabby cats too per chance?

Had one my whole life. Got one now he sleeps on the same pillow I use every night. Purrs me to sleep. Its a wonderful thing. Life is good.

Don

[City Lights]

I like cats in a variety of colors and markings.

:hi:

We currently have six. The boy in my avatar is Watson, who died at the tender age of 5 last February. :cry: My 14-year-old orange and white longhair sleeps on my pillow and digs her pads into my head when I try and move. :crazy:

[NNN0LHI]

43. I like them all too but it seams like the Tabby's are what find me

They wander up and stay. Nothing I can do. Got about three of them hanging around outside who want to move in right now but I won't let them.

Sorry to hear about Watson. He is beautiful.

I have considered getting the guy I have right now cloned he has been so good. Like perfect. He is ten now.

I checked into it and it sounds like you have to have your vet chop them up too much collecting skin samples and such and I wouldn't put him through that so that idea is out of the question.

Whoops my wife just said its time to eat. See you later.

Don

[never_get_over_it]

69. See you have to establish rules

I have had five cats over the years and unfortunately am down to one now - but my sweet boy Cooper who passed July 2005 had three rules - 1 don't get on me as in when I'm sleeping because he always did that - 2 no drooling - because he always did that when he was happy and 3 no worrying because he was the biggest worry-er

Now Eve his sister has rule one and rule two rule but three doesn't apply - we go over them every night before bed - and every morning I wake up to her sleeping practically on my head.

You see rules are VERY important!!!!! LOL

[City Lights]

102. The humans are supposed to establish the rules?

We've been doing it backwards! Well, that explains everything. ;-)

[calimary]

73. DAMN what a great quote! Your Cree Indian saying in your sig line.

Poignant and beautiful - and TRUE.

[City Lights]

103. Thanks, calimary!

:hi:

[calimary]

125. Truly - it's a GREAT proverb.

Everyone should keep it uppermost in mind, regardless of political persuasion. Thank you for putting it out there! It's only the salvation of our planet it addresses, that's all! No biggie!

VERY strategically cool of you to put it in your sig line, too, because every time you post, there's this wee reminder down at the bottom that will get seen much more frequently than if you just posted it by itself every so often. Repeat, repeat, repeat, you know, "to kind of catapult the propaganda," 'eh?

:evilgrin:

That's why I put all those TOLL FREE numbers to the Capitol Hill switchboard in my sig line, so every time I post, they'll be there if anyone needs them. Because I do rattle on here ad nauseam :D - and as far as I know, those numbers still work.

[rodeodance]

15. Brian just announced for interview to come after commercial

[rodeodance]

16. k

[rodeodance]

17. k

[rodeodance]

19. here he is again--Laura is with him

[rodeodance]

22. says that 30 yrs from now-Historians will judge him OBJECTIVELY. te he

[rodeodance]

25. Jr. says the key for him is to keep expectations low. WHOW.

[rodeodance]

27. He keeps saying he does things cause they think they are Right.

[nosillies]

29. Oh my f**king word

HE JUST SUMMED UP HIS WHOLE POLITICAL CAREER!!!!! "The key is to keep your expectations low."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This deserves it own thread.

[City Lights]

31. I heard that!

:wow:

It's time to end the soft bigotry of low expectations for presidunces.

I swear I wanted to punch the tv when I watched it.

It's all just a fucking game to him. :argh:

[Connie_Corleone]

34. Brian Williams looked like he was thinking...

"You stupid fuckin' asshole. You didn't read those damn books!"

[Loge23]

50. The "back-story" threw him!

Williams asks "What's the back-story on this? (in reference to the idiot's alleged reading of Camus).
The idiot stammers ands shifts backwards "You mean the back-story of Camus?"!!
You could just see the idiot trying to remember the CliffsNotes version.
Hilarious.

[Jawja]

124. Well I think

the same thing. He didn't read any books! He couldn't answer the first question about the first book!

What bullshit.

[Straight Shooter]

38. True dat. He will be an OBJECT of ridicule. n/t

[Poiuyt]

45. We can only hope

[Poiuyt]

46. Be sure to send emails of encouragement to Brian Williams

Keep them polite and positive, but let's make sure he knows we like it when he asks good questions

[bklyncowgirl]

18. Missed it but good for Brian Williams

He showed that he was more than a pretty boy anchor man during hurricane Katrina. It takes guts to press the President of the United States on issues he'd rather ignore but then it took guts for Williams to spend the night in the Superdome the way he did and report to the world on conditions from the ground.

[YDogg]

20. It was pretty good. Hopefully it'll open a few more eyes ...

... to what an absolute disgrace bush has been.

The funniest was when Williams said something about bush's patrician upbringing ... and bush (kind of) angrily lashed out that he didn't know who had said that, and that that person didn't know him. It was rather revealing. The fuckwad doesn't have a humble bone in his body, and he looked kind of surprised that Williams was tougher on him than what he is used to.

I also enjoyed Williams' question about bush's relationship with his father, and Iraq issues. Teh chimp hated that question. Just hated it.

[calimary]

78. I missed it, too. I suspect the phone lines from cheney's and rove's

offices are burning to NBC. They'll huff and puff and threaten to blow the house down. And NO MORE INTERVIEWS FOR YOU, EITHER, naughty network!!!

GOOD! He needs to be worked over a little bit. No, a LOT bit. NO MORE FREE RIDES!!! NO MORE KID GLOVES!!! I hope this is only the first of many. Unless they let Tim Russert do the next one - with his kneepads surgically attached.

Except... maybe the media really does smell the blood in the water. In that case, they're all gonna turn and get fierce and unfriendly. It'll be the new vogue. The new fad for the White House Press Corps. Rediscovering their jobs.

:eyes:

[orpupilofnature57]

28. Welcome The Cleaner , About the arms,Kkkkarl told him to speak..

forcefully ,this is Shrubs rendition.Confrontational questions have been a truly missed freind these last 5yrs

[Subdivisions]

30. Damn! Missed part one, but saw the end! C'mon C&L! eom

[orpupilofnature57]

35. Yes ,C'mon Al

[dogday]

36. Why bother to ask this guy anything?

He does not give any kind of a straight answer.. It is all speech and sound bites, no information, nothing new learned and not even any remorse felt for the victims of Katrina.... He just sucks eggs....

[Wiley50]

48. Only one reason to ask him anything

and that is to catch him in a lie

[lumpy]

143. Brian Williams didn't ask the hard

questions I would have asked, like why did Bush insist for so long that Saddam Hussein had WMDs when the evidence was strong that there were non. Why didn't Bush take on a leadership role for the immediate relief of New Orleans flooding. Why is Bush fighting the use of illegal wiretapping. Why was Bush silent concerning the bombing going on in Lebanon. How does Bush accomplish changing the political atmosphere in the Mideast. Etc etc etc... Williams wasted time asking frivolous questions, re his book reading, father son relationship; questions that allowed Bush to dance around. Williams didn't even come near skimming the surface of 'hard questions. No doubt in my mind that Bush only allowed scripted questions to be asked. Certainly wasn't an in depth interview. Garbage in and out.

[chat_noir]

37. MSNBC video link

http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=CBD436B7-EFD2-42DA-B109-DCF8FF8B29BD&f=00&fg=copy

[Subdivisions]

44. I'm speechless...but gleeful! This vid doesn't include the part

where he says "I even read three Shakespeares".

[goclark]

67. The" Shakespheres " were in there ~ ROTFL and L and L

to keep from crying.

What an idiot.

This was the best interview I have even seen Brian Williams give ~ he stuck it to the Chimp today!

[Surya Gayatri]

95. Thanks chat_noir, I was looking for this! n/t

[Dystopian]

42. K/R ~ Williams was great! I was surprised....

The only time I can stand watching bush is when he has no script in front of him......He's evil and way beyond ignorant...I couldn't believe Williams asked those questions, and of course left the demonic resident floundering once again. The gates of Hell await this murderous monster.

peace~

[The River]

47. He said "I read three Shakespeare"

I didn't know William had 2 more author relatives??
He must have been referring to Irving Shakespeare who authored the X-rated version of
"My Pet Goat" called "My Horny Pet Goat" and Adolf H. Shakespeare's
"Fascism for Dummies"

[WinkyDink]

56. BWAH!!

[bread_and_roses]

74. Hilarious!

Thanks for the good laugh!

[Glimmer of Hope]

49. Brian Williams just made Bush look like an idiot! Not a hard

thing to do but fun to watch.

[CatWoman]

52. here's a link to the video

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14567350/

[samsingh]

51. attacking iraqis to fight terrorism is a rascist argument if you ask me.

[FSogol]

53. His arms? Preventing the flop sweat from soaking his shirt. n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

54. Caught the video on the MSNBC website. Wow.

Every time I think that Bush could not appear more stupid and ignorant than he already has I discover he has once again surpassed himself in the moron department.

That this ignorant, inarticulate, arrogant buffoon came close enough in not one but two elections to steal is a disgrace to this nation.

Kudos to Brian Williams. Bush hated being hauled out to the Gulf Coast and Williams caught him off guard showing his true colors.

Are you proud of your president now, America?

[CatWoman]

55. yeah

we all "sacrificed" after 9/11 and Katrina by paying taxes :wtf:

[never_get_over_it]

82. That was the saddest part of the whole video

his first reaction paying taxes - then the economy tanked because of 9/11 then inconvenienced when traveling and not one mention of the sacrifices of the American families that have lost some one in his idiot "wars"

He is such a pathetic little man....

And Brian Williams has stunned me - he went for the jugular - man first time ever that he has impressed me.....don't get in any small planes Brian

[Skittles]

93. he literally does not understand the meaning of the word sacrifice

because in his entire life that miserable rich bastard has never HAD to sacrifice - not EVER

[bdamomma]

110. never had to struggle either

just ran to Daddy and friends to bail him out. How can we have this man sitting in the WH and doing nothing but screwing everyone. Bush is just not mentally fit. Arrogant bastard he is.

[lumpy]

144. Any halfwit , even George Bush

could have answered the questions Williams asked.

[fooj]

57. He holds his arms like that because it makes him feel like a BIG GUY...

:smoke:
What a horse's ass.

[Dinger]

77. How Tall Is That little punk Anyway?

I remember a skit on Saturday Night Live where he and Kerry were debating, and Kerry looked about 10 ft. taller than *.

[leftchick]

100. "officially" 5'11"

so you know he is really shorter than that, 5'9" perhaps without the lifts?

[Dinger]

120. Kind Of Like Napoleon. Hmmm, Is Waterloo Next? (nt)

[fooj]

141. Punk........

Perfect word choice!

[bdamomma]

112. he has a personality disorder

he is always trying to show everyone he is the big man, what a freaking stupid arrogant man.

[bdamomma]

113. error

[SammyWinstonJack]

58. Pinhead already admitted that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11.

Last week during his "press conference". He ain't gonna live that down anytime soon. :evilgrin: ** tries to convey a "tough" guy stance with his body language. :rofl: My ex who liked to beat me and my kids, carried himself in the same manner. I recognize ** for what he is, a bully with low self esteem issues. I was married to someone just like him, except my ex was unlike **, intelligent.

[driver8]

61. "I know they weren't Iraqis...but Osama ain't got no oil."

I really hate that "man".

[gatorboy]

62. Williams' comment to Bush about still not watching TV was priceless.

I literally fell off the couch when he said that to him.

[creeksneakers2]

65. The two parter!

At the beginning of the interview Williams quoted a guy who said when Katrina was happening Bush was watching a different channel. Bush reacted angrily. "He doesn't know me" or something to that effect.

Then for the last question Williams asked Bush if he watched TV. "I watched a ball game." ROFL!

[Harry Monroe]

139. Well, at least he watches baseball games...

BUSH: You have to do what you, if we're getting something wrong, we change it.

WILLIAMS: How have you been read wrong?

BUSH: I don’t know. I frankly don't pay that much attention. I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, but…

WILLIAMS: Still not watching television, huh?

BUSH: I watched a good baseball game.


If we're getting something wrong, we change it??? How much more full of shit can he be??

[Olney Blue]

63. OMG, can I have my new president now?

[high density]

66. Not a fan, but Brian Williams did well

Bush seems to keep sounding less and less intelligent.

"The key for me is to keep expectations low."

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

68. He's actually said this a lot in the past. For years. Seriously. It used

to have a bit of self-deprecating charm to it, but not anymore.

[WinkyDink]

97. Would that make Bush a soft bigot?

[Harry Monroe]

140. Is that like Bart Simpson...

...who was diagnosed by the school psychatrist in the very first season as an "Underachiever, and proud of it"??

Certainly applies in the Chimp's case!!!!!!!

[Phrogman]

70. I'm sorry, I just can't watch this idiot poser, what a jackass

I have a hard time seeing the "media" pretend like he's legitimate. Its like watching some reporter interview a 6th grade kid and everybody pretends the kids "the president"

Its all so fucking phoney.

[npincus]

71. Hell, YEAH! The bastard just admitted Iraq had "Nothing" to do w/9-11

in his last press conference... and Williams busted him conflating the two AGAIN.

The Chimp is just so fucking stupid; he can't help but tripping into the steaming shit of his lies.

[SeattleGirl]

72. Brian Williams did a great job with this.

I have to admit, though, that it took everything I had to watch it, because I usually want to throw things at the TV whenever Chimpy comes on. Worth the watch, though. Now, where are my meds.......

[Kajsa]

76. Brian Williams didn't cut Georgie any slack.

He looked like he wanted to slug him.

It might have something to do with the fact that
one year ago, Williams spent Days inside the Superdome
with residents of NO and watched many of them die
waiting for help that came five days late!

Bushism for the day.

" The world is difficult". WTH?!?

[ArkySue]

79. I'm sorry I missed this!

Maybe Crooks and Liars will have it up??

[SeattleGirl]

80. Maybe you can catch it on the replay of Countdown.

They showed quite a bit of it tonight. Replay should be coming up in just over an hour, I think.

[ArkySue]

84. Thanks! n/t

[calimary]

83. Kickez-vous!

Besides, I need to be able to find this later!

:thumbsup:

[alfredo]

85. His arms? He always seems to confuse deoderant and

Ben Gay. He just has this mental block there.

[lpbk2713]

86. "I know they weren't Iraqis" .... that made me LOL.

Remember the Nathan Thurm character Martin Short used to do on SNL?





"I didn't say that! You said that! Did I say that? I didn't say that! I think that's so funny that you think I said that! I didn't say that! Why would you think I said that?"

[Usrename]

89. I'm ashamed he's from the United States.

Even God is wondering how the little weasle ended up on our team. And the President of Iraq wants to have a public debate with him. How embarassing is that?

[arewenotdemo]

90. Evolution can be a very sloooow process

The Chimperor is only a half-step removed from his knuckle-dragging cousins.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

109. W's an example of inbred devolution

Dumber every day and proud of it.

[Skittles]

92. he doesn't understand the difference between sacrifice and inconvenience

he truly is one dumb f***

[threadkillaz]

94. I agree with one thing he said..

"Taxpayers have paid a lot"

[WinkyDink]

99. Of course, his cronies AREN'T "taxpayers"; they are tax AVOIDERS.

[bdamomma]

114. and he is probably thinking they will be paying alot more

"you're with us or against us".

[Surya Gayatri]

96. Thanks for this heads up, Cleaner! n/t

[Grateful for Hope]

104. "Iraq is part of the struggle against the terrorists"

He is STILL linking Iraq to 9/11. It is sickening.

105. The Daily Show once showed a video of Bu$h lifting weights in the WH.

That's his idea of serving the people, getting in HIS personal exercise time.

He's still a first rate wimp, like Poopy.

107. Did Williams ask Bush how many Iraqis he has killed so far?

That would seem like a very pertinent question to ask. Any reporter worth their starch would have asked.

108. Did I hear right--did he say he had an "epileptic reading list?" nt

[bklyncowgirl]

121. I think it was ekaclectic

Really, does he do this on purpose or is he truly as dumb as a pile of rocks? What does it say about the American people that they voted for someone to be their president because they weren't "threatened" by his intelligence and thought he'd be a great guy to have a beer with?

I want my president to be smarter than me. Is that too much to ask?

[a kennedy]

111. By the way, what is WITH Bush's arms? It's like he's carrying a couple of

invisible buckets or something. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I know what is with that stance. :puke:

[QuettaKid]

116. It would've been great if Williams

could have come back with "you're right they weren't Iraqi's .....they were mostly SAUDIS"
chimp looked like he was ready to slug BW when he mentioned Kennebunkport. smirkboy was visibly upset....

115. I had the misfortune to see Brian on Scarborogh's Nazi Country

I stopped for about 30 seconds on last night's show, just in time to catch Joe ask Brian if the President had been humbled by the hurricane, or did Brian think the decisive, confident and strong President Bush still existed? Joe said with all the problems of the last 12 months or so that our confident President has had to go through, is Bush still a manly leader?

(Never mind that people running through the streets of New York for their lives happened nearly 5 years ago, not to mention the defense department in flames, and that is hardly a sign of good leadership, Joe, you right wing hack)

Brian (at least I think it was Brian, many of these blow-dried Ken dolls all look the same to me) replyed that Bush might have been humbled by the storm, but that really he (Brian) had not seen a change in the decider President--Our glorious leader still makes decisions quickly and then moves on. So really Bush is still a stud.

It was only 30 or so seconds, but it was disgusting whoring, STILL!

117. The best part of that was when he asked Bush what the backstory of a book

he read was.

Bush first tried to back away from saying it was a while ago that he read it (A few days) and then mumbled some bullshit. Anyone else see this?

[Neecy]

119. Bush was creepy and repulsive

He's really getting shrill these days, isn't he? Yelling out his answers, his face all distorted and his body language disturbing. He looks on the verge of cracking up - a very dangerous situation for us and the world.

Anyway, what struck me in those weird rambling shouted responses was something he said when Williams asked why he didn't ask Americans to sacrifice after 9/11 and, in the midst of his ridiculous statement about taxes, he said something about the flights being grounded after 9/11.

Huh? Since when did an inconvenience become a 'sacrifice'? Of all of his stupid unscripted answers this one struck me as the most ridiculous. And I was pissed that Williams allowed that to pass unchallenged.

[Harry Monroe]

135. Flights were grounded after 9/11...

...unless you were a member of the Bin Laden family

[lumpy]

145. Financial sacrifices by Us were the only ones

mentioned by Bush. Nothing about the US military sacrifice of life, let alone the lives of Iraqis. The bastard should really be pinned down and defend himself about his lying invadion of Iraq. The little pissante is treated like the simpleton he is. On these one to one interviews he is treated like the family retard afraid his feeling might get hurt.

[Jeroen]

126. "They attacked us even before I thought of removing Saddam from power."

That was probably the weirdest thing he said.
He just told what he was thinking before the attack.

[arewenotdemo]

133. That was just one more out-and-out lie.

Several sources have indicated the Iraq invasion was at the top of the Bush/neocon to-do list. From day ONE.

He can't change his story now...he's not smart enough to, for one. He's "catapulted" the bullshit so long and so "vociferously" that it's a veritable minefield out there; he steps in it whenever he moves (his lips).

[lumpy]

147. Another lie, A defensive one at that.

"They attacked us even before I thought of removing Saddam from power". Williams didn't even ask that question. Think about those words. If you have kids you'll know what I mean. Example: This morning Mrs.Jones next door told you someone threw a rock breaking her kitchen window. Kid comes running home from school, first thing out of his mouth "Mom I didn't break Mrs. Jones' window.
Bush knows the word has been out for a long time that he was seriously thinking of attacking Iraq.

[Kajsa]

128. Kick,

This really deserves it.

136. MSNBC even changed the transcript to make him sound smarter
