Bush giving an address tomorrow night on TV, press conference after

[AlCzervik]

just saw it on keith olbermann, he says it will blast democrats on various issues and discuss social security. Keith said opening remarks will be 12-14 minutes long.

[tallahasseedem]

1. It better not interrupt Survivor...

[WI_DEM]

2. Well that will piss off the viewing public

who love CSI and Will and Grace, ect to have their favorite programs delayed due to Doofus.

[smoogatz]

3. Who'll be tossing the softballs tomorrow, I wonder?

Will JimmyJeff make a triumphal return appearance? Or will another member of the White House press whores take up the mantle?

[Career Prole]

4. I'll watch the press conference for the same reason

I'll occasionally watch figure skating or nascar...for the crashes!

[AlCzervik]

6. i'll watch the whole thing, Bush is my photo-shop muse

i'm taking this whole event as a signal that he's on the defense and is losing his "Mandate".

[mtnester]

13. Yeah, it will be liking a train wreck when you have been given

the date and time of the wreck.

I figure whatever he says will piss at least half this country off.

[AlCzervik]

16. i love watching his press conferences, any other day i can't stand

his voice or the site of him but he is so bad with the reporters and he always fucks up big, and i expect at least one or two Freudian slips.

[Erika]

5. Let the idiot give an address

He only shows his disconnect with the every day U.S. citizen. I notice he's got his smirk back.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Interesting

I wonder why he does? Maybe he has some sneaky plan?? :shrug: Oh and don't forget that the democrats had their anti-private account rally recently so Bush has to clean up some "damage" the democrats did to his little plan and his image.

[rzemanfl]

7. Remember the six speeches the moron was supposed to give

before the Iraq "handover?" As I recall he gave one and it was such a disaster that we never heard another thing about them. Cannot stand to watch the f***ker but I hope he wears that psychedelic tie that does all the weird color changes.

[Jacobin]

8. Yeah. They cancelled them after two

This will be another disaster of a speech. I'll watch they play by play on DU so I don't have to listen to the putz

[rzemanfl]

11. I only remember the one in front of the military audience where he

could not pronounce Abu Ghraib. Where was the other?

[Jacobin]

24. Come to think of it, you're right.

I remembe watching one which I remember because I always turn him off when he is on TV, its just too much to listen to.

I remember he was his usual idiotic blustery self and the audience was completely underwhelmed....even a military audienc.

[rzemanfl]

26. They clapped politely on cue like trained seals mindful of their

pensions and fitness reports. * took three stabs at mouthing Abu Ghriab and then gave up, which to me showed his lack of any great concern over torture, since he obviously had never tried to say the words before. What an asshole, there is no way he "won" the election.

[Blue Belle]

21. Me too.

I can't stand to listen to the way he butchers the English Language... and if he tries to mention the phrase "Nuclear Option" that will spin me out of my head. What does that say about his expensive, private school education when he can't enunciate properly?? My fourth grade teacher would have ate him for breakfast.

[Skip Intro]

9. Keith said twice bush would label Democrats "obstructionists" tomorrow.

on SS and judges

he's such a good little puppet, ain't he?

[KansDem]

10. I wonder if he'll try to explain his "plan" for Social Security?

The last time he tried this, it left a lot of people scratching their heads...

I bet he just bitches and moans about the Democrats. No doubt his handlers have decided it's best if he sticks to a script he can read...

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Yep

And don't forget that his poll numbers are really low. I wonder how they'll be after this fiasco.

[Frances]

12. Well if we had a really free media

Then there would be equal time for Dem rebuttal.

If we could have a rebuttal, who do you think should give it? I suppose Reid would be the closest political equal since he's head of the Dem party in the Senate. Is Reid a good speaker?

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Reid isn't too bad

He needs to talk a little louder sometimes. But overall I think he's alright. Pelosi does a little better.

[NYC Liberal]

15. Can it get worse than last April's DISASTROUS press conference? n/t

[rzemanfl]

19. Is that the one where he wore the strobing tie and said he never

made a mistake when he had one hanging around his neck at that moment?

[NYC Liberal]

22. Hypno-Tie! Yes, that's the one.

He was also asked why he was testifying before the 9/11 Commission with Cheney - and he had the gall to say "Because we want to answer their questions." The reporter actually said, "No, why TOGETHER?" Bush repeated the same thing!

[AlCzervik]

25. yup, "I can't think of any right now"

what a schmuck.

[AlCzervik]

23. If i remember right i got a great bumper sticker out of that one

it ended up being "Helping brown skinned people everywhere liberate themselves" that was in reference to him referring to all non-Caucasians as "Brown skinned people"

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Nuclear Option will be talked about

after Justice Sunday and he will encourage a rallying around Frist.

It is ALL ABOUT THE JUDGES.

[rzemanfl]

27. Newk U Lur option. n/t

[Newsjock]

28. "Mr. President, do you believe in rapture?"

A simple little question.

[City Lights]

29. Oh goody. If Big Brother peers into my home tomorrow night, they'll

see three fully exposed moons pointing at the tv when chimpy takes the stage.

[mcscajun]

30. Sounds like a good time to get caught up on those movies on tape

I haven't watched yet.

[chookie]

31. Oh. Is this supposed to be a charm offensive?

You know, I can't stand to watch the man. It's bad enough that he is a blithering idiot -- far worse that he passes off odious lies through this same blithering idiocy. The only time I managed to watch His Chimperial Highness was during the debates -- and only then for its Wagnerian scale Orwellian doublespeak (I used to listen to USSR and Chinese and Cuban propaganda during the Cold War for giggles too).

King Shithead is not doing so well in his ill-gotten second term, and unless he is totally hermetically sealed from reality, he must know this, and it burns his Oedipally-driven soul.

Polls show that faith in his Crusade in Iraq is flagging; that people reject his attempt to do away with the last vestiges of the "Communist" New Deal Social Security Program; and that people, in SPITE of our laughable popular media, are admitting that they realise he lied us into a war that has cost tens of thousands of lives (I total American and Iraqi casualties).

So now, as ever, when he is clearly seen to be failing, His Chimperial Highness will act boldly, absolutely oblivious of criticism and rejection directed at him -- to try one more/last time to knock people off guard and try to pull off another frat boy bull session. I think its going to be more than me, and you, who are going to turn the fucker off in disgust, or scream at the tv -- sane people across the United States of all kinds will have that same reaction tomorrow. King Shit is going to flop -- laughably -- tomorrow.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

32. You know that, I know that,

but after this farce that will be foisted upon the American people tomorrow night, will they?

I seriously doubt it. I can picture and hear the pundits now. Russert will say he was forceful, Schieffer will be salivating over something else, Lehrer will probably have David Brooks and Mark Shields on spouting total BS. I never watch ABC so I don't know who's standing in for Peter Jennings, but it doesn't matter.

One thing is certain to happen tomorrow night the White House reporters, if you want to call them that, and their masters in the corporate media will give Chimpy another pass tomorrow night and especially Friday morning.

I don't know what it will take for the American people to wake up from this nightmare that's been happening since January 20, 2001.

[brettdale]

33. Bush is going to Blast Democrats????????

How can that loser Blast the democrats, I hope thier is a transcript of this conference on the web afterwards, does anyone have an advance list on what Journos will be allowed to ask questions? Are they on the National media list? if they ask wimpy questions, we need to email them big time!


MY FINGERS AND TOES ARE CROSSED FOR JUST ONE DECENT QUESTION ASKED BY THE MEDIA AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE.

[LosinIt]

34. Can't decide which is better for my mental health..

Don't watch, instead rent a DVD

or get high, drink a beer, and watch the freak show.

[VOX]

35. Will the enabling media say that the naked chimperor is wearing a tuxedo?

I say, count on it. And the stress-turd he shakes out of his pantleg will also be declared a gold nugget.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:
