Bush has been attacking these reporters a lot lately..

[butterfly77]

He seemed to be provoking a fight with Brian Williams, Matt Lauer, and Gregory in the news conference today.

He seem to want to punch Matt lauer and williams and if close enough to gregory the same probably. What do you think would happen if he struck one of these reporters and they hit back?

[AlCzervik]

1. the reporter would be wrestled to the ground and sent to the hoosegow

and the republican national committee would say the liberal media truly are attack dogs.

[butterfly77]

6. I think he does it because he knows that ..

the secret service will protect him and he believes that he can do what he wants.

[AlCzervik]

8. he sure does, he does whatever the hell he please no matter what

the consequence--powers unchecked 24/7 and it's way past time someone told dimson "NO MORE".

[Kutjara]

2. My guess:

The sheeple would cheer, Shrub's popularity would hit 75% and the reporter would be dragged off to Gitmo and waterboarded till the end of his days.

[Lautremont]

3. I don't think they'd hit back.

They'd go down smiling, knowing they had the story of the year and an instant book deal.

[butterfly77]

5. I Think this would be the likely scenerio...

even though it would take a lot of self control

[savemefromdumbya]

4. wonder why h is being interviewed?

[tularetom]

7. tweety would get moist over *'s "manliness"

[SoCalDem]

9. He's just being "feisty"... The base eats that stuff up..

It fits his "cowboy" image... (cue up Wild Thing)

[City Lights]

10. But he told David Gregory how beautiful he looked after going through

those gyrations. :wtf:

Prolly hoped some brown-nosing would make David go easy on him.

33. Is President Bush a Girly Man? - Betty Bowers

January 2004. Mr. Bush wandered over during Mr. Reid's chat with the Prime Minister. Mr. Reid introduced himself and shook hands with Mr. Bush.

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

11. Blame the media in the Rove way

Attack reporters make America think its all their fault

[CarlVK]

12. The reporter will be put in Gitmo and Chimpster will be hailed

as a conquering hero fighting off another terror appeaser.

13. Rove Playbook 101..."Jobbing The Refs"

Remember, Booosh right now is "president" for only 40% who call themselves Repugnicans. We don't exist...hell, we're "terrorists" in this goon's view. He's strictly talking to his "base" and using more red meat than a chef at Mr. Steak. This is yanking on two memes the GOOP know are tried and true winners with their coven...baiting the press and "looking strong and resolute".

Turn on hate radio now and you're sure to hear how evil McCain, Gregory and Powell are...the MOD is out and with booosh throwing his tantrum at "Stretch", he was strictly playing up to the wingnuts and chickenhawks. Boooosh is hoping to ramrod his torture and spying bills through and is baiting the "traitors" in his own tent while charging up the base...the ones he knows are gonna come out and vote.

With only a few weeks to go, we're in full-slime and GOTV mode now. The endgame for this regime to hold power is to piss off their base as much as possible and spook out our side or let us think this thing is in the bag.

Expect the rhetoric to get even louder...if such a thing is possible over the next 5 weeks. Desperate times bring out desperate people.

[butterfly77]

15. Any more press conferences coming up soon...

the more he does back to back the sooner he will crack up in public.

[KharmaTrain]

26. He'll Be Out There Plenty

These goons work on the 24/7 news cycle and their ability to control what's being reported. One way to suck the air out of stories they don't like or to keep their issue going is to trot out his assholiness and just let "george be chimp". It doesn't matter what he says, since it's either lies or talking points or unitelligible babble, but that doesn't matter. The longer this dude talks the less CNN reports on another car bomb in Baghdad or Bob Ney's conviction. It also fuels the pundits who then flock into the studios to spin what the morons attempted to utter. It's the ultimate in mental masterbation.

Honestly, I can't see this shit's numbers climbing much lower. If a person can still support this asshat with all that's been revealed, there's no hope for them. The only hope is they stay home...and this regime is doing all they can to scare the shit out of them.

[butterfly77]

32. They are lower than they tell us...

There's so much to tell that some of the most devious stuff is always buried.

[Nikki Stone 1]

14. All NBC--What does GE have against the Bush administration?

Hmmm

[butterfly77]

16. What no New york times...

I just noticed that these were all NBC maybe because of GE this is why they got the one on one.

[WhiteTara]

17. he wouldn't do that in public with cameras

maybe invite him in for a private conversation and disappearance of reporter will be noted in small print on CNN crawl.

But if they don't mix his meds just right, all my bets are off on any semblance of rational thought.

[butterfly77]

20. I don't think that when he goes off it will be ...

in private because he is already on the edge and all of the right circumstance and if he feels caged in and the reporters follow up he will:nuke:

[WhiteTara]

30. I love the visual

I would love to see him come apart on live tv to be replayed again and again and again and again ad nauseum.

[butterfly77]

31. That's why I set my tape when I hear he is on to make a ..

speech even though I can't look at him for very long. I have been waiting and when it happens I will play it over and over and over,and pause on my favorite parts.

[valerief]

18. "Excuse me, Mr. President, but your raw spinach salad is ready." n/t

[butterfly77]

21. Go ahead and have seconds...

[Writer]

19. All three with NBC.

Bush's peacock feathers have been ruffled.

[butterfly77]

22. What do you think will happen if it were a fox reporter...

specifically Brit Hume,O,lielly or Hannity, because they ask a question he doesn't like.

[Writer]

23. I think he'd be less angry, but would use more snarky laughter...

sort of like, "I KNOW you're kidding, right? You'd BETTER be kidding."

[butterfly77]

28. There are some questions I have seen them ask,,,

so that they will look like they are being fair and balanced. If they ask these questions you will see it when Neil Caputo was interviewing him he was nervous and sweating. All of these reporters are afraid but the females seem to stand up to him with the exception of David Gregory and some of the CBS reporters.

[City Lights]

24. I doubt a Faux reporter would ask a question he didn't like.

Faux types are always in the crowd to rescue him with a softball question when things get too hot.

[butterfly77]

25. If it is on the right day when he is already agaited

and impatient it could happen.

[Hamlette]

27. straight up political tactic...I'm not a bad president, the press is

lying to you about me.

He did it in Iraq. It was calculated, to distract people.

[butterfly77]

29. If this situation happens in the right way the

right wing nuts cannot deny that he is nuts, even though they will try.
