bush to hold press conference at 11:15 ET this morning

[Philosoraptor]

oh boy, I can't wait, he's been so petulant and testy here lately, and his empirical demeanor gets harder and harder to hide.

[Donnachaidh]

1. more of the usual pap?

[madokie]

2. The shitster stiring more shit, will it be today he breaks is the question

[bdamomma]

4. I would love to see him have a complete breakdown

he is pushing his torture bill, you know he has to have his way, spoiled frat boy. I hope he loses it.

[madokie]

14. I don't know if today will be the day but it is coming

mommie don't let them, daddy help. yes, the day is coming and coming soon

[LaurenG]

3. Why, why is he going to talk again?

:eyes:

[Mark E. Smith]

5. His Torture Bill Is Getting Roughed Up In The Senate

Georgie is miffed.

[Philosoraptor]

6. don't prosecute the torturers please, I-- I mean, they might go to jail

[frogbison]

11. I hope he talks about the 7

more soldiers killed, the dozens wounded, and his role in it all.

But I've always been a Pollyanna....

[LaurenG]

8. Thank you for the info. n/t

[bdamomma]

7. he has some Senate repubs pissed about that torture thing

in the Geneva Conventions, he wants to re write the part of how terrorists should be interrogated. Senators Warner, Mc Cain and Graham are pissed.

[Philosoraptor]

9. will he top last week's infamous torture speech?

that's all the fucker talked about in his prepared speech that he read.

[Ishoutandscream2]

10. Yes, notice it's former MILITARY MEN who are fighting this

Men who served, and one who was tortured in captivity. Bush and his chickenhawk neo-cons can't relate to this.

[Philosoraptor]

12. bush chose the torture road, and he will now reap the wind for it

he'll be remembered as the president who fought tooth and nail for torturing people

[LeighAnn]

18. Because to these perverts torture is fun and games

Bush probably wonders why anyone would object to "free torture" when he's having to pay Jeff Gannon for it.

[spinbaby]

13. Is this an actual press conference?

Or is he just going to stand in front of reporters to recite his talking points?

[Philosoraptor]

15. yes, an opening statement, then takes reporters questions

[msongs]

16. another appearance before the toadies and brown nosers...yawn nt

[Chef]

17. New news

This would be a good time to announce the capture (or un-thawing of Osama) or perhaps the breaking of the spinach terrorist plot?

[WI_DEM]

19. Good, that will give me an excuse to watch "Green Acres"

[Clark2008]

20. What more interesting thing is supposed to happen at 11:15 a.m.

that he doesn't want the media paying attention to?

Anyone know - so that we can monitor that instead of listening to Chucklenuts.

[ixion]

21. minor correction

I think you mean 'imperial' rather than 'empirical', which applies to science (verifiable by experience or experiment). Shrub is not an empirical person, but he really digs on being imperial. :grr:

[bigdarryl]

22. Wonder will he mention the 5 soldiers killed in Iraq

Bet not the reporters will though

[Philosoraptor]

23. that might upset him, or make him scream a bit

[Skarbrowe]

24. Tweety convinced every time * gives a speech, his ratings go up.

I tried putting my whole comment in the Subject line. Geez! Tweety said the other night that it appeared that every time Bush gave one of these pointless (my word, not Tweety's) speeches that the TV stations are obviously agreeing to air, that he "appears" to go up in the polls a couple of points. Tweety says that if Bush just keeps giving speech after speech that he could reach 50% approval by November. THEN, according to Tweety, the Republicans would keep both Houses of Congress-no sweat.

I would tend to think the more people see Bush talk, the more they would want a whole new country, but all they have to do is use Tweety's perceived notion that these senseless chatter sessions are a plus for Bush and the Republican party to skew the polls higher for Bush and as we all already know,(electronic voting) the fix is in.

I can't help but be pessimistic. Seeing polls saying voters prefer Democrats in Congress 50% to 41% ( sorry, can't remember what it was exactly ) does nothing to ease my mind. I try not to post my pessimism, but watching Rove and Bush in action..TERROR...SPEECH...TERROR...SPEECH.., I just can't hold it in.
