Oh my Gosh... BUSH* IS GOING TO TALK FOR 17 MINUTES BEFORE

[LittleApple81]

PRESS CONFERENCE. Yuck.....

[Failure]

1. Sounds like

he's having to make last minute additions.

[fearnobush]

2. Will be, we found the weapons of mass destruction?

[readmylips]

3. He is going to read and take questions...

from selected press members. He will answer from rehearsed questions and the difficult questions, he'll channel answers by earpiece from uncle daDick.

[Killarney]

4. Note to self

Turn TV on at 8:47, not 8:30.

[Cat Atomic]

5. Iraq occupation is justified, democracy being undermined by

only a few foreign insurgents, stay the course, trust, America, future, hope.

Snooze.

[Failure]

any news

about the "planted WMD's"

[earthside]

6. 18 Minutes!!!!!!!!!!

Norah O. on MSNBC just said that Bush will speak for up to 18 minutes!!!!!!!

We may have a new defintion for the "18 minute gap"!!!!

If he really does this ... it's going to be a diaster. Can you imagine the Washington press corp having to sit still under those hot lights for nearly 20 minutes before they're even allowed to ask questions?

[TeeYiYi]

7. I'd like to hear the goat book. ...n/t

TYY

[Tatiana]

8. This can only be good news for the nation.

We know he isn't literate. He'll embarrass the neo-cons. He has such a short attention span, that five minutes into the speech his mind will lose focus and then he will start straying from the script. He'll start dropping a few 'Bushisms' into his statements and the whole nation will get a change to see why we need regime change in this country.

[Cat Atomic]

9. WAIT a minute.

His opening remarks last SEVENTEEN minutes, then he's taking rehearsed questions for TWELVE minutes, and we're still calling this a fucking PRESS CONFERENCE?

It's a campaign speech with a short question and answer session. This NOT a press conference.

[PA Democrat]

10. Darn, I KNEW I should have gooten the deluxe, high-speed

model of the bush-speak decoder ring.

[bushbeater]

11. So we tune in 17 minutes late

No need to listen to lies. Tune in late!!!

[readmylips]

12. Oh, I see Lady Helen Thomas, front row....

bush hates her so he will not call on her. She's never part of the staged questions.

[NewJeffCT]

21. if I'm not mistaken

Haven't all presidents from Ike to Clinton endured/enjoyed her tough questions, until Bush?

[DancingBear]

13. He had to stop at 18 minutes

If it went 18 1/2, they'd have to exhume Rosemary Woods.

[Earth_First]

14. Why do I feel like...

I could almost recite this upcomming press conference from memory before it even transpires...?

[leftchick]

15. I heard 18 minutes....

one extra "uh" by my count....

[LittleApple81]

17. Yeah. They said the time for talking was getting longer and longer.n/t

[quinnox]

16. He's gotta fill up the air time

So less time for questions.

[Catshrink]

18. Not sure I want to listen to Chimpy McFuckup.

I think I'd actually rather grade freshman physics papers. Or maybe even sit in the dentist's chair again.

[readmylips]

19. jeez even Bow Tie Carlson says..Iraq falling apart...

bush must reasure that Iraq is going hunky dawry.

[chelsea0011]

20. In 17 minutes he will look up 10 times with that sh*t eating grin

Happy he finished a sentence and completely amused with himself.

[chemp]

22. but he has to sound out the words...

<EOM>

[Malva Zebrina]

23. the media are are really playing this up--it is disgusting

this is being treated like a soap opera. It is totally disgusting how the TV media is playing it up.

Almost seven hundred of our children have died in Iraq, and thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqi old men, women, babies and children have been murder by this prick, and he emerges on national TV as a soap opera character.

Sure they play this up as a "crisis" for Bush--of course he will emerge unscathed and the entire pathetic performance will be praised and he will have conquored the "crisis"

Clearly, says the news babe, this is a crucial event for this stupid man.

This is American brohahah and it would be amusing if not so many have died at the hands of this clown.

24. Small bow-legged is on...

What is he saying. My TV is on Mute.
