[AlCzervik]

8. oh lord "Explain the rise in terrorists attacks"

[Arkana]

He's using the canned lines he's been told to use.

[Solly Mack]

[sescob]

47. It's about time! n/t

[senseandsensibility]

85. Really?

I don't doubt you, but I find it hard to believe. Who is asking the hardest hitting questins, in your opinion? And would you say he is bombing?

[tallahasseedem]

26. Look out! Tough question! Putin. I'm sorry, Vladimir. Condi?

Does this guy have respect for anyone except his Saudi butt boy?

[Roland99]

27. "nucular"

[DesEtoiles]

28. he's botching the Putin question badly-listening a lot to earpiece

[DesEtoiles]

39. What "Russia" said? "Russia" said nothing. It's LEADER said something.

[DesEtoiles]

46. Can't respond to Bolton question until he gets earpiece answer

Democracy. Vladimir. Democracy. Democracy.

Stutter. He already said it too many times in a row. He is overheating.

[rodeodance]

50. I think the quest. was: Why are more people dying when you say we are

winning the war--it was a great question.

[Stand and Fight]

31. GREAT BUSH QUOTES

"If a president tries to make decisions based upon polls, you're like a dog chasing your tail."

"There are those in Iraq who want to go back to the old days of dungeons and torture chambers... There are those in Iraq who want to kill."

"In order to defeat the terrorist, in order to defeat their ideology of hate, freedom must prevail."

"I also want to caution you all that it's not easy to go from a tyranny to a democracy."

"We should have an active nuclear energy source in America."

"Hope additional crude oil on the market...will help relieve the price on American consumers."

"We've made the decision to defeat the terrorist abroad so we don't have to face them here, at home... Our strategy is to stay on the offense."

"The way to defeat terror is to spread freedom and democracy." (Through war??? WTF!)

"We will be relentless. We will be smart about how we go after the terrorist." (And continue to let the top ones slip through your fingers Georgie??? Guess we better get used to "We almost had 'em!")

- George W. Bush, Presidential News Conference, 28 April 2005

[Bluebear]

36. He said "a active nucular energy policy"!

[Stand and Fight]

95. Yes.

[blondeatlast]

32. Merits of denmocracy, a government that listens to the people--

That's where I came in. I'm already ROFL.

[AlCzervik]

33. Mr. President since you are firmly ensconced in Putin's ass

what are you gonna do now?

[drdon326]

34. Is it illegal to shoot your TV set ?

.

[hatrack]

Well, it's YOUR TV set . . .

:toast:

[Solly Mack]

35. "Putin and his soul" and now?

Shrub: long talk with Putin about the importance of democracy... and Condi said she had a good talk about the merits of democracy with Putin....

basically he is tripping over the question and pushing his agenda against Iran

[Roland99]

37. I guess Iran can only have what we tell them to have

[ultraist]

38. So far, he's said...

nukluar
hard work

Consolidating states of matter are we now?

[ultraist]

[AlCzervik]

[AlCzervik]

55. no dude, people don't your blunt, they say stupid.

[swag]

60. Yeah

What a whorehouse.

[Roland99]

48. "Bolton has been abusing for 20 years"

oh wait...serving. My bad.

[blondeatlast]

49. Convince me there's no earpiece. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU. nt

[AlwaysDemocrat]

106. It sure seems like he's wearing one

He stops/starts and backtracks what he says. He stumbles then comes out with complete statements that don't seem like his natural speech.

[zoeb]

51. His hair is standing on end....

did someone rub his head with a balloon just before the press conference?

[rodeodance]

77. Bush says he asked Bolton if he thought the UN was important and says

Bolton said it was important but needed to be reformed. I wonder if he really asked Bolton this question. It just seems toooo convienent to me.

[hatrack]

52. "See-zunned dip-lo-mat"

Yessirre, Bob, fumbling & bumbling.

[zoeb]

UN needs "reeformin"

hahahaha

[cornermouse]

Bush left in the Middle East. That's all.

[Stand and Fight]

122. Yeah that was my reaction...

This guy is a gooooooooober.

[tallahasseedem]

59. Bolton is a shill and an asswipe, chimp.

[TayTay]

83. But * qualified him based on the tough

question of whether or not the UN is important. (Ah, Smirky's sole qualifying question for his nominee was whether or not he thought the job was important. What an idiot.)

[proud patriot]

62. Woo hoo "the un needs to be reformed"

Woa :crazy:

[Dickie Flatt]

63. thinkprogress.org - check it out

[tallahasseedem]

70. Hes making this shit up as he goes along.

[Stand and Fight]

71. That smile is so fake... Bolton

On to Bolton allegations... Should they disqualify him if they are true?

"John Bolton is a seasoned diplomat. He's been confirmed by the United STates Senate four times. John Bolton is a blunt guy. Some people think I'm a little to Blunt. The UN needs reform... I asked John, 'Do you think the United Nations is important?' He said, 'Yes, I think the United Nations is important, it just needs reform..."

[Arkana]

84. There's a term for that in debate circles

and it's called "killing the clock."

[librechik]

[justjones]

89. I need a blunt watching this shit. nt

[Solly Mack]

75. Dumbass doesn't even know who he has met with

Syria or Lebanon

[Dr Ron]

76. "Sometimes people say I'm a little too blunt"

No idiot, they say that you're not very sharp

[rodeodance]

100. "we got a lot of debt out there, we have a lot unfunded liabilites" yuga

george--are you finally worried now that you have spent all of our money?

LOLOLOLOL

[notadmblnd]

88. my 12 yr old says his earpiece is in his right ear

the logic he is using to determine this is how bush leans his head down and to the right when listening to it.

[rumpel]

He's getting close to getting those countries mixed up.

[Cush]

90. "Stretch?"

[swag]

91. "Stretch" - GWB's laugh-lines are going nowhere

he's puddling.

[fryguy]

93. did he just ask if he could call him "stretch"??????

WHAT THE FUCK!!

[TayTay]

99. I swear that sounds like something Al Franken said in parody n/t

[fryguy]

110. seriously - n/t

[Synnical]

94. His blood pressure is rising

Face turning redder and redder and he's blathering, making no sense.

[zippy890]

109. Yeah! he's getting MAD ..at everybody!!

[kiraboo]

117. No kidding. Looks like they misjudged how much rouge he was

going to need tonight. But the lipstick looks charming!

[kiraboo]

118. No kidding. Looks like they misjudged how much rouge he was

going to need tonight. But the lipstick looks charming!

[hatrack]

96. So, "voluntary private accounts" MUST be part of the system . . .

Even when he himself admits they wouldn't do JACK SHIT to shore up the system.

[GiovanniC]

111. Very Interesting

He wouldn't consider a plan that would "save" social security unless it has his precious pet privatized accounts.

[mtnester]

97. Ownership society

Is the bingo card completely full now?

[zoeb]

98. Poor folks don't have a pot to invest! n/t

[zoeb]

116. here we go with the file cabinets

[zoeb]

139. Survivor: White House

[maddezmom]

115. "investor class"....did you see that nose flair and whacked out face?

:puke:

[hatrack]

136. We're listening on the radio - nostril flaring?

Very cool!

[Solly Mack]

"if it's good enough for congress it's good enough for the workers"

[fryguy]

102. why should only rich people own . . . ?

I don't know . . but that's been YOUR idea - ASSHOLE

[babylonsister]

103. "Why should ownership be only for rich people?" I CAN'T

believe he had the balls to say that!
Edit for clarity

[AP]

104. 'so called investor class' -- nice expression of derision. Not sure whom..

...he's deriding with that expression, however.

[maddezmom]

129. caught that one...

:eyes: I'm not even sure he knows who he is speaking to right now.

[truth2power]

105. Uh oh..."ownership" That's on the Bingo card.

I think this is a cover-all.

[librechik]

107. U-nine-ah Nathionsh needs to clean up its problems

unlike the Sun King

[Blue Belle]

108. "Mind if I call you 'Stretch'?"

Please... you're endearing yourself to no one.

[blondeatlast]

112. Fellow cysts?!

ROFLMAO!

[rodeodance]

123. I feel like he is talking to a 7th grade econ class.

[zippy890]

HA-- LOL fellow 'cysts'

:rofl: :rofl:

[Stand and Fight]

114. Oh Jebus...

Filing cabinets full of IOUs... :eyes:

[Dickie Flatt]

119. President Bush:

You have repeatedly promoted private accounts by claiming that the government is unable to properly manage the people's money. Given that you are the head of the government, would it be fair to say that this is your fault?

[ultraist]

121. "I, I, I, I, I....feel strongly..."

"Ownership"
"Personal accounts"
"Stocks and Bonds"
"Own their own ASSET"---singular! sheesh...

:eyes:

[Hazelrah]

124. Real Assets?

has he been watching the market at all?

[swag]

134. Sweet markets to pitch this bullshit in

Overpriced bonds and tanking stocks.

[HeeBGBz]

125. So Bush spent my social security

And all I got is this IOU?

My nest egg will pummel your limo, you schmuck.

[bvar22]

133. Before the SS Act...

...all Americans were totally in charge of their retirement packages.
Worked GREAT didn't it!

[hatrack]

126. This is simultaneously hilarious and embarassing

Hard to explain, but there it is.

[quispquake]

148. No, that sums it up pretty good...

I'm laughing in utter horror, and embarrassed for us as Americans that this idiot is what the world sees as representing us...

[finecraft]

151. Yep. Like watching Howdy Doody explain rocket science

to a class of kindergarten kids......and he thinks he is the smart one in the room!

[htuttle]

127. T-bills are just IOUs! T-bills are just IOUs!

(running screaming through the street)

[Ilsa]

128. Dumbing down the Social Security lesson.

The problem is, he's dumbing it down for himself.

He still hasn't explained how this new program is going to pay for itself without driving up the deficit.

[AP]

130. Who is going to guarantee a higher rate of return?

And I have no investment training. How am I going to know when it's time to shift from stocks to bonds? And are the bonds guaranteed? And what if I use up all my assets have way through my retirement?

[rodeodance]

"amazing, isn't it"?--jr says--the recruitment of Iraqi's is high

[swag]

Not to mention that 3% + inflation that you'll have to repay from

your private "offset" account, i.e. your margin loan.

[Ilsa]

147. "Tough shit" I suspect would be the response from the gubmint. eom

[ultraist]

153. That's your problem---Bush has a top drawer broker

You can shift from stocks and bonds and pay big FEES.

[smirkymonkey]

131. Not wise to set a timetable for Iraq withdrawal???

It's official - he's winging it.

[Stand and Fight]

144. Naw man!

The terr'ist would get tougher then....

[Ilsa]

132. Can't (Won't) commit to withdrawing troops.

Sonofabitch. AWOL Coward.

[Stand and Fight]

135. Substantial American withdrawal of troops?

"I don't think it's wise for me to set out a timetable... So my answer is as soon as possible."

Ducking and dodging. Dodging and ducking.

[aquart]

137. Think he's too heavy on the blusher?

[proud patriot]

138. "Recruitment is high" ROFLMAO

:rofl:

[fryguy]

140. nuttin' but verbal diarrhea spewing at the WH tonight

ain't nuttin' makin' sense, an't nutting gettin' done

[librechik]

141. man, I'm sick of that phony "beatific" smile

he turns on when he wants you to agree with him.

My fingers itch to excise that unknown mass on his eyebrow.

[rodeodance]

withdrawal from 160 to 139 thousand US troops. when did that happen?

[Blue Belle]

142. Recruitment's high??

For who?? The Iraqui Insurgents?? Uhm... yes.

[Elidor]

143. The Dubya Management Style, Lesson #3-Litmus Test for Ambassadors

I'm paraphrasing:

"I spoke to John Bolton, and I asked him, 'Do you think the United Nations is important?'"

Wow. That sets the bar pretty high. No word on Bolton's response. Nor any specifics on what specifically little George wants to reform about the UN. Presumably they could do what he tells them to do, like the GOP.

[hatrack]

145. "Keep stability" - kindly disregard that exploding bus to your left!

:eyes:

[mtnester]

[tallahasseedem]
