BUSH PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD #2

[The Cleaner]

Please continue in this thread.

[Skidmore]

1. What's with so many simian grunts today?

[ixion]

2. cause he's the grunter

:+

...among other not-so-pleasant things

[A wise Man]

3. This lying bastard

would lie to "GOD" he or she, to get himself out of the original lie that he told for those that told him to "lie". ( I know it doesn't make sense to me neither )!!!

[ixion]

4. softball questions from 'Cindy' the obvious * lover

:puke:

[annabanana]

5. who does she work for?

[ixion]

10. not sure

have never seen her before...

[erinlough]

7. He thanked her for it and well he should......bitch

[chelsea0011]

17. I think the question works against Bush because he can't answer it

honestly.

[LSK]

6. just turning it on

[A wise Man]

77. This dumb ASS

THINKS WHAT HE HAS DON E TO THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD IS FUNNY!!!!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

8. Daydream: Just up and arrest him now. On the spot. Cart him off.

[GCP]

12. God forgive me - I sometimes wish for a military coup to get rid of him

With Stinson in charge we are collectively fucked.

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. GMTA!

:thumbsup:

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. Military coup

:hi:

[Sydnie]

15. With a few big men in white coats with a nice straight jacket for him

Why can't that ever happen?

[Solly Mack]

21. I know! I know!

[Just-plain-Kathy]

92. Two straight jackets...one fore Bush one for Cheney.....n/t

[laruemtt]

9. "when i speak i'm very CONSCIENCE

of the people i'm talking to." there goes our ejeecashun preznit agin.....

[TahitiNut]

45. That was quite candid ... for a pathological narcissist.

It was also an understatement. He's consumed and obsessed with his 'audience' - and totally dependent on their reactions and responses. It's SOLELY in the reactions of others that he finds some affirmation that he even exists.

He really belongs in a padded cell for the rest of his miserable life.

[truth2power]

98. Tahiti..

Why is there that breathiness to his voice all the time? Just your best guess. Nerves?

This drives me nuts, and I don't know why. It's creepy!

[TahitiNut]

149. A combination of meds and the "end of the rope" for narcissism, imho.

The progress of pathological narcissism is one of getting greater and greater and ever greater narcissistic 'supply' - attention and reaction. It's a fool's errand, of course, because too mcuh is never enough - it NEVER sates his appetite for attention and reaction. This is why it often results in physical brutality and abuse. This guy is being managed (like a puppet) according to his narcissistic appetites. That's why he goes on and on and on ... rambling. He's wallowing in it like a pig in shit ... but it's still NOT ENOUGH to chase away (sate) that core of TERROR in his gut. At his core, he's terribly frightened that he just doesn't EXIST. This is the nature of his basic cowardice and the driving force of his narcissism. So, the "breathiness" is a reflection of the fright - a fright than can never go away for him. That's why (imho) he's on beta-blockers - anti-anxiety meds.

IMHO, it's really very ironic ... and expected. He's fundamentally a man who has lived in TERROR for almost all of his life. That's what Narcissistic Personality Disorder is all about - obtaining constant reassurance that he even exists. It is, therefore, completely understandable that he would perpetuate TERROR as a tool ... in our pathologies, we tend to inflict on others the pain we ourselves feel.

[Virginia Dare]

176. He's constantly running from himself...

he suffers from a self-hatred so deep, he can never get away from it, try as he can. That comes from having the Supreme Dragon Lady as your mother, she is one fucked up lady. No wonder, her parents were pretty messed up too. It's just a vicious cycle.

[TahitiNut]

180. There's no 'there' there.

It's laughable that he claimed to look into Putin's heart and find someone worth respecting. This is a man whose sense of self is completely non-existent. This is the very reason he feeds on the reactions and responses of others, without which he cannot sense his own existence. This is a man who, when he looks into a mirror, stares into Nietzsche's abyss.

[rudy23]

177. He makes no distinction between acclaim and notoriety, other people are nothing to him nt

[TahitiNut]

178. That's absolutely true, imho. His pathological appetites permit no such distinction.

ANY reaction is a 'supply' - and the more extreme the better.

[truth2power]

181. Great! Thank you, TN. I think Justin Frank *Bush on the Couch*

also addressed Bush's core feelings of anxiety. Frank said he's defending against that all the time.

You know that saying about "sucks to be you?" Well, I think, for Bush, it must be pure hell inside his head. Unfortunately, I don't think he consciously experiences any of that because he's so well-defended.

In any case, I think he's a psychopath, first of all. (In the next DSM edition they'll account for this, I bet. Anti-Social just doesn't cover it.)

That doesn't mean he's not also a narcissist. But, in terms of differential diagnosis, he would've been diagnosed with Conduct Disorder as a child. Also, he lies all the time and he's agressive and sadistic.

One f*cked up individual!

[LSK]

11. violent society? whos he talking about now??

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. K&R

[jannyk]

18. Faster Maliki steps up we can get to Baker/Hamilton

[LSK]

22. including direct diplomacy with Iran??? thought not!

[Aviation Pro]

19. Not a lot of experience with democracy....

...go look in the mirror, Bush.

[Sparkle]

20. You guys have my sympathy for watching/listening to this man.

n/t

[Bluerthanblue]

23. "I made the decision I made".... done deal- "i am king" "NOT gonna talk'

[Bluerthanblue]

38. "being the KIND man that I am I will recycle you".... money trumps peace-

oh my god-
he is so crazed

[itsmesgd]

24. Plame: "I'm not gonna talk about any of it!!!"

[WinkyDink]

32. "I'll re-cycle you." Oh, you're funny, like a crutch.

[WinkyDink]

41. "Sometimes money trumps peace". He speaks his truth AGAIN.

[lancdem]

Dumb question, perhaps

but why a press conference now? Unless, he says something actually new, what's the point?

[havocmom]

166. Are those pro-DEM plan GOP members of House speaking on the floor?

Gotta make sure the media doesn't cover THAT!

[Aviation Pro]

25. Sigh....Time for my nappy....

...

[LSK]

26. Hes not going to talk to about Plamegate at all

[annabanana]

27. He REFUSES to talk aobut Libby trial..

[ixion]

46. which speaks volumes

IMO

[ixion]

54. he 'thanks' the reporter every time there is a softball question

looks like there are several ringers in the press corps.

[jannyk]

28. Yeah, a Plame question

did you have anything to do with leak?

"I am just not going to talk about it Peter!"

[justiceischeap]

29. Just avoided a Plame question

Kicked the reporter to the "curb"

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

30. What an asshat, total and complete asshat...

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

31. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. What a Prick!

[qanda]

That's what I was thinking

Yuck!

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

115. Question from me...You either knew and OK'ed the leaks, or Cheney's the Prez.

Which one is it, Sir.

[ixion]

33. "Not going to talk about that... not going to talk about that"

translation:

"la la la la la la I am not listening to you la la la la"

[rhiannon55]

182. Or maybe

JINGLE BELLS JINGLE BELLS I can't HEAR you JINGLE BELLS...

[itsmesgd]

34. "money trumps peace...sometimes"

[Aviation Pro]

35. This is not a kegger, Bush....

...try not to embarrass us. Oh, never mind.

[spinbaby]

36. Not gonna talk about it

Not gonna talk about Libby. He sounds drunk to me. If I met someone who spoke like monkey boy, I'd assume he was drunk.

[Sydnie]

37. Money trumps peace

Finally, some truth! Money for his friends trumps peace!

[stellanoir]

48. That line probably merits its own thread

He finally summarized his entire foreign policy in three words. Wows.

[Skidmore]

56. Great minds and all of that.

I'll do that.

[Bluerthanblue]

64. more than foreign policy- life policy- don't you think?

[Bluerthanblue]

55. this is THE "one true thing" (heart)- of * and this administration-

"money trumps peace" gwb 2/14/07

[itsmesgd]

148. here ya go

[Kadie]

157. omg

:mad:
:scared:
:cry:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

39. "Money trumps Peace" ?

WTF?

[mzmolly]

93. Being honest for once?

:shrug:

[Marie26]

164. What was the context?

Seems like such a weird thing to say - though incredibly truthful for this Admin.

[mmonk]

40. Why does the press laugh?

They are players in everything.

[leftchick]

65. I turned it off when they laughed at the asshole

They fucking laugh at a lying war criminal. They are throwing stupid ass softballs with no follow ups when he refuses to answer. then they laugh at his "charm". :puke:

[Fridays Child]

168. I guess a comment like "money trumps peace" is utterly charming to...

...the grossly overpaid corporate media. I wonder how many members of the White House press corps would want to keep their jobs, if they were paid salaries comparable to those received by most working Americans.

[TahitiNut]

95. Because he demands it. All of his smirking, mugging, posturing, and 'folksy' ...

... jokes might as well be a combination of begging and threatening ... ANYTHING to get reactions. It's a normal human reaction to respond, with both discomfort and pity. Some, no doubt, are laughing AT the asshat. Again, he's a pathological narcissist. He feeds insatiably on reactions and responses.

The subject of his EVERY remark and thought is "I" - himself. Self-reference permeates absolutely everything he says. Whether "I" or "we," it's all about HIM - and demanding every nanosecond of attention he can get. He's a hair's breadth away from a total meltdown ... obtaining a narcissistic 'supply' beyond anything any person on the planet can get, and still it's not enough!

[rhiannon55]

183. "Whether "I" or "we," it's all about HIM"

Has he EVER used the word "we"?

[SammyWinstonJack]

144. I'm hoping they're laughing at him and not with him. Probably not, though.

:shrug:

[erinlough]

42. He finally tells the truth: "Money trumps peace". I hate him

[Nickster]

49. Un-fricking-believable. n/t

[librechik]

174. well," integrity is for paupers"

so we know where we are going at least. Right off the cliff. There's a pile of money at the bottom with a pony hiding in it. Shrub is gonna ride that bronco inta victory.

[geomon666]

43. I'm wondering....

Why even bother taking questions if he's not going to answer the fucking questions? They should just have stare into the camera for a few minutes and absolute silence.

[Contrary1]

69. The one thing I would love to see (and never will)

is a room full of reporters who just sat there staring at the Chimp,
without asking a single question.

[lovuian]

44. Libby question ... "And he won't talk about it" Won't talk about it

Won't talk about it
I'll recycle you being the kind man I am
(oh this is sickening)

Bush is scared at that one...

"Money trumps peace"

what a quote

his god is money

[GCP]

47. I really wish they wouldn't laugh at his "jokes"

They still roll over for him :puke:

[mmonk]

58. What's a lap dog to do?

[annabanana]

50. Ground rules. . . "Not gonna be 'Pundit in Cheif'" re '08

[Solly Mack]

51. Bush is laying out ground rules for the press

and they no doubt will lick it up

[Vinnie From Indy]

52. Plame! Plame! Plame!

Every question should be about Plame from now on! Maybe a few Gannon-Guckert questions tossed in as well. It would be great fun watching Smirky lose it!

[Norquist Nemesis]

53. Hah! Rep Coble (R-NC) speaking in support of Resolution on CSPAN1

Much better viewing than the Supreme Con.

[jannyk]

67. Whoever is on the floor now is spouting the

talking points from yesterday's letter word for word.

[Norquist Nemesis]

100. Yeah, I can hear him ranting in the other room

blah blah! Blah!! BLAH!!! BLAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait!! I just heard nine eleven!!! OMG!!! He was trying to scare me, now he's threatening me!!!! What an asshole.

[jannyk]

179. His name was

Zack Wamp! Never heard of him before but with a name like ZWamp I'm sure he'll pop up again.

[adigal]

57. Three members of your adminstration leaked Wilson's name

leaked Valerie Wilson's name.

Not going to talk about it. Not going to talk about it. Would you like another question?? I am such a good guy, I will give you another chance.

(Goddamn idiots in the press room are laughing, whooping it up with this goddamn dictator who refuses to answer questions about people who are not even under investigation.)

Our press sucks. We need a new press.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

86. Every question should be about Plame, from here on out...

Let the story be "Bush give Press a chance to ask questions, gives no answers."

[LSK]

59. did the volume just jump or is he yelling?

[lovuian]

66. He was yelling

and he isn't running and I know your going to be disappointed

[LSK]

68. whos not running?

[lovuian]

60. "pundit in chief" I won't be one ROFL

:rofl:

[wordpix]

61. Q: Iraq & presidential election & understanding of what you're doing? A: those who are stuck with

me...I won't comment...Incoherent...you better be eloquent...My point to the person is what really matters to the people is to see progress.

Shaking my head---rambling incoherence...

[dogday]

62. Buffoon said Money Trumps Peace

:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

We need to run with this statement....

[WinkyDink]

Absolutely!! Get it OUT THERE! "'MONEY TRUMPS PEACE', said BUSH!"

[dogday]

88. It is what we all have been saying about the Iraq War

That it is for the money and Bush admitted as much today... Everyone needs to run with this for sure :thumbsup:

[wordpix]

147. get on it, pundits---quote of the day---we've been shouting this for 6 yrs.

[goclark]

172. What was he talking about ~ is his earpiece working? nt

[AlCzervik]

63. someone needs to take the marbles out of his mouth.

[wordpix]

72. OMG---laughing about who reporter working for: "politico.com" David Gregory likes it!

[AlCzervik]

85. oh yes--awkward pause "That will be a testimonial" WTF does that mean?

[wordpix]

101. only rambling pRes. Incoherent Buffoon knows

[AlCzervik]

108. His inability to string together a coherent sentence is alarming.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

91. Politicos Mike Allen lobs a sweet sticky warm softball to *

So cute..:puke:

[Solly Mack]

70. he sets the bar low on patriotism "as patriotic as I am"

[Az_lefty]

71. "I can talk all day long"

and not say a fucking thing!!! :grr:
what a total embarrassment

[ixion]

73. what's with all the chuckling?

I don't find the situation we're in funny in the least.

[GCP]

79. They're all in the Washington bubble

They don 't get how angry we are out here

[A wise Man]

97. Corporate Media

owns these shit brain so called journalist. When this country sinks so low they're blame it on the Dems.

[WinkyDink]

83. What's so funny to him? He's President, and you're not! Chevy Chase writ large!

[halobeam]

84. this bothers me the most ABOVE what he isn't saying.

This isn't funny at all. The press laughing with him is a disgusting display of THE most serious situation we are in.

I'm appalled.

[wordpix]

152. Frat King missed his calling in life---cheerleader, team mascot b/c he's a prof. buffoon

[dogday]

74. This guy is off his freaking nut !!!!

I am so embarrassed by his crazy ass....

[LSK]

75. ok, enough of this drunken rambling, back to AAR

[adigal]

76. politico.com guy up

Bush trying to yup it up.

Can you work with Democrats. Pursing his lips, blinking

"Patriotic people who care about their country. Cordial respectful reception at the SOTU and the dem retreat in VA."

[blogslut]

103. I don't trust politico

They strike me as wingnuts posing as obejective journalist.

[Skidmore]

126. Thats Mike Allen....

biggest * suckup ever. Guy quivers in breathless excitement when he talks about *. A loathsome little creep.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

150. Reminds me of Talons Jeff Gannon. nt

[Bluerthanblue]

78. he had to wipe spittle from his chin when speaking about the sotu

[Aviation Pro]

80. Divorce? Interesting way to put it.....

...hmmmm, something on your mind, Bush?

[AlCzervik]

81. it's Democratic not democrat--but you know that already.

[Justpat]

82. I can't take it.

This f'ing moron truly doesn't understand how our government works.

He condescends to allow the senators and representatives to hold
their own opinions, but believes that he is the only decision making
process there is in our democracy. His delusions of being "the decider"
are some fantasy government he made up and feels he has the right to
impose on the rest of us.

And his refusal to answer the question about pardoning Libby and
his administration's role in the matter seem to be a big joke to him.
I hate those pack of whores so much for kissing his demented ass
like a bunch of eunuchs at the court of some medieval king.

[TransitJohn]

87. He just said "Democrat friends"

Tell me this shit ain't on purpose.

[ixion]

89. the 'democrat' leadership... he did it again

:grr:

[Sydnie]

94. He is just repeating what he has heard for years

from his "republican folks". AARRGGHH!! :mad:

[blogslut]

90. He said Democrat again

Instead of Democratic.

[AlCzervik]

96. Switch grass and wood chips---oh my!

[DakotaDemocrat]

Human-animal hybrids....

If he breaks out human-animal hybrids, I'm going to puke in my mouth a little bit.

[AlCzervik]

114. "hehehe"

[wordpix]

154. not so far fetched. * is a Neanderthal-homo erectus hybrid

[AlCzervik]

156. lol, very good.

[wordpix]

161. thank you---is that pic a real creature in your byline or photoshopped?

[AlCzervik]

171. yes it's real, it's our Guinea pig-

Princess Bob, my daughter loves to hold him like that because his man nipples :puke: gross me out. He's a big boy and he's got me trained well, he squeaks and i jump.

[annabanana]

99. rambling through misc domestic stuff. . . nothing new here..

[halobeam]

104. except he reads the newspaper ..........sometimes.

he almost choked on that he reads the paper.... then added sometimes. What an idiot.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

155. did he stumble on that because it was a lie ? n/t

[dogday]

102. If you listen carefully you will hear voices

Read the newspapers, which sometimes I uh do? :wtf: is wrong with this dude?

[WinkyDink]

Oh, I'll bet he DOES hear voices.

[SammyWinstonJack]

163. He's looney tunes? Self serving and self absorbed, it's all about him.

Condescending and arrogant, an all around scumbag. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with him. :evilgrin:

[Marie26]

167. Maybe that's how he sees it.

I think he doesn't see people as people, w/their own lives & motivations completely independent of him. Instead, we're all just voices he hears - nagging him, ordering him, supporting him. It's a totally self-absorbed & narcissistic world view.

[annabanana]

105. NCLB . . wants it renewed. . "If you listen carefully"

you might hear voices on both sides against it... too much testing ... etc


again "democrat voices"

[shadowknows69]

110. Can't.Watch. Anymore.

made it longer than I usually do. I'm gonna go search the web for public fallout shelters now.

[Bluerthanblue]

106. corn, hog farms, and give people the opportunity to buy health care-

read your newspapers-
No child left behind-
income gap-
global economy-
NCLB-

fit it all in quick-

[wordpix]

107. income gap in America--our kids have to have education so NCLB needs to be reauthorized

so my educorporate donors can do well

[salin]

130. as if all education began with NCLB and will disappear wthout it?

what an idiot.

[Tsiyu]

109. All I can hear is

Bullshit...bullshit....bullshit.....bullshit....bullshit.....bulshit....gimme more money....can't you hear the dollars I'm worth?......I am the king.....bullshit......bullshit.....more bullshit......nukyular.......bullshit.......don't-you-wish-you-were-me-and-could-play-dress-up-like-the-Preznent?.........and make impornant speeches and stuff?.......bullshit.....bullshit......bullshit.............."money trumps peace" cuz that's what Jeebus said............bullshit............bullshit............bullshit.........uh..........bullshit......"




The press are cowering in front of this Idiot. I wish someone would just stand up and say, "With all due respect, Mr. Bush, you are an IDIOT."

[GCP]

120. Forget the "all due respect"!

Bush - you are a moron.

[Solly Mack]

111. Where's Billy Mumy when you need him?

[shadowknows69]

118. Will Robinson?

Please elaborate

[salin]

Lost in Space reference - I think

the robot would go "Danger, Danger" (or was it "Warning, warning"?

[Solly Mack]

139. Anthony Fremont. Twilight Zone. Very famous episode.

Billy Mumy played Anthony Fremont...a child that could, among other things, send people to the cornfield.

Watch it.

It's a Good Life is the name of the episode.

[shadowknows69]

145. Oh, was he the kid with the powers?

n/t

[Solly Mack]

151. Yes

[Bluerthanblue]

165. was this the episode where he made a circle with his pointer finger

then put a 'dot' in the center and things happened?

That show has haunted me for years-

Is there somewhere to find it online?-

thanks-

[Solly Mack]

173. I don't recall that but that doesn't mean anything

You could be right

I'd imagine Amazon.com has it - Twilight Zone series

and googling Twilight Zone, Billy Mummy will probably yield espisode summaries.

Wasn't much help. Sorry!

[Sydnie]

112. We have Ricky Bobby on our TV and he is our President!

His speech pattern is exactly like that character, he makes as much sense as that character, and he has an attention span just about as long as that character. I bet he prays to the "little baby jesus" because he likes him best too!

Shoot me now!

[annabanana]

113. "for the viewer out there". . scolding guy for checking watch

[halobeam]

122. that was Gregory.

gees what an insulting harrassing bastard Bush is.

[WinkyDink]

141. Reply could've been, "No, Sir; I'm checking to see how long you've been saying nothing."

[Marie26]

175. He always does that

In every press conference, Bush tries to insult &/or humiliate him. It's gotten old.

[dogday]

116. Geez this guy is such a bumbling fool

And he is in charge of this country... Fellow citizens we are fucked.....

[WinkyDink]

117. OMG, Bush is NUTS, and these laughing loons in the seats are VILE.

[shadowknows69]

125. We are so fucked

a press that is apparently in on, and enjoys, the sick joke being played on all of us.

[Kadie]

131. Scary.

:scared:

[Cameron27]

119. Yuck yuck yuck

Richard Wolf asks if he can interrupt.

He's stumbling around trying to answer why he can't negotiate with Iran.

[Bluerthanblue]

121. last question- "I don't mean to inturrupt"- sit down and talk face to

face-

Why can't you do it with Iran?

I don't think we can achieve success

[annabanana]

123. Good question.. "Why no face-to-face with Iran"?

(mentions that we face-to-face with others with huge nuclear arsenals

[annabanana]

129. "not gonna do it if I think it won't work"

[shadowknows69]

134. but we're not supposed to citicize his surge plan

before it has a chance to work? Give me one follow up question with this ass. I'll show him a journalist. Actually one wouldn't be enough.

[erinlough]

124. abc cut off the press conference!!!!!!

[GCP]

128. Go to MSNBC

Good coverage - no scroll.

[erinlough]

135. Thanks but I don't really want to watch it, I just thought it was odd that they cut it off!!!

[wordpix]

136. it's over anyway---WTF did he say that stuck except, "Money trumps peace?"

[mmonk]

162. This

"Quds force is part of Iranian Government...and I'm gonna do something about it."

[wordpix]

170. yes, he did say that, also said he didn't know if Quds weapons use sanctioned by gov or not but

"he's gonna do something about it."

[rodeodance]

127. i expect Competence from my president!---not just the hard work you

keep saying you do!

[berner59]

143. How many times did he say??

"I made the decision??" Is he afraid that everyone knows he doesn't make any actual decisions?? What an idiot...

[Aviation Pro]

132. What a psycho....

..."ME!"

[jannyk]

137. That was painful - that squawk.

[wordpix]

133. If I thought we could achieve success (with Iran), I would sit down. I wanna make sure that the

whole world stays engaged: giving up nuclear ambitions. The world says, "MEET!" It sounds tempting to say, you got to sit down with the people....conflicting interests...solve interests peacefully...people will look back and say, "How come people couldn't see the impending danger?"

[countingbluecars]

138. The longer he talks

the more insane he sounds.

[EFerrari]

159. The smirking monkey is taking us into Iran! I can't believe it!

He's insane and so are the people who are allowing this.

:(

[jannyk]

140. It's over thank god.

[rodeodance]

142. i keep wondering why I listen to his babbling time after time.!!

[rodeodance]

146. thank you for starting the Theads.

[Graybeard]

153. OMG...Our C in C was drunk as a skunk!

...rambling, swaying at the podium, drooling on himself. His face looked like he shaved with a lawn mower. How long can we allow this to continue without intervention?

[wordpix]

158. get the hook & haul him off the stage & into international war criminal court along with Dickhead
