Bush Press Conference: Complete Evasion on the Plame & Torture Questions.

[frank frankly]

http://www.c-span.org/#?Cat=TV&Code=VA&ShowVidDays=30&ShowVidDesc=&Arc...

Here are the only important questions of the day.

<snip>

Q On another issue, have you been called to answer questions re= garding the CIA leak? And have you retained the attorney --

PRESIDENT BUSH: You need to call -- you need to call -- you need = to talk to the counsel over there.

<snip>

Q Mr. President, questions are being raised about the lega= l status of U.S. military contractors in Iraq. Your administration is asking fo= r them to be granted immunity by the incoming Iraqi government. If they aren't g= oing to operate under Iraqi law, will they operate under U.S. civilian law, or = under what legal jurisdiction?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I need to make sure I stay in touch with the lawy= ers on this subject. They are the ones who are raising the issue. We'll cont= inue to work the issue.

Q So you haven't decided yet?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Right.

-----------------------------

The rest of the questions were about transferal of Saddam and other tedious pointless bullshit. Even so, Bush was snippy with press, bitched about the heat twice, and spoke several times about his upcoming lunch. He was very aggressive and loud, much like pre-war when he would bang podiums. He was cocky.

But none of that matters. The serious press asked specific questions and he did not answer them. Gave them straight to the lawyers.

The other press are whores and idiots. I mean it. They are groupthink slackjawed, nervous-bellied high schoolers. But even they were trying to help each other get the answers to their stupid, pointless, poorly-asked questions. They asked follow-ups. They tried. Little baby steps.

But the serious ones have arrived and all the "fight them over in Iraq rather than Mayberry, USA" bullshit don't mean anything once the CIA is after you.

Buh-bye, you cocky little fuck. Better get used to the heat. It's hot in your brimstone hell, you fundamentalist richboy war criminal.

1. Bush, Hater Of Lawyers, Running To His Lawyers For Cover

"Lawyers are bad, mmmkay, unless I need them to cover my criminal ass"

3. Exactly what I was going to say

Beetwasher! Exactly. He better chummy up with the lawyers, cause he's going to need a whole cadre of them.

2. Hitler Press Conference evades questions about Treblinka and Dachau

Some things never change much, do they frank?

[frank frankly]

4. President Hitler learned from the worst.

His grandpoppy was tight with Hitler. They worked together.

I hate our press.

5. He was blathering about tort reform too.

Hmmm. I wonder what his version of "tort reform" means.

6. I can't believe...

...he has the gall to STILL repeatedly refer to "torture chambers" and "mass graves". HINT TO THE GOP: Might want to stop chanting those mantras, your "humanitarian efforts" seem rather hollow and false.

7. Snippy With Press?

I would be willing to bet that this scum of the Earth Benedict Bu$h*t is snorting
meth! He is walking a spiral staircase that only a real journalist can topple! The sad thing is, is there such an animal as a real journalist among this BMW butt-puppet crowd?!

8. WH Press Corps Kneepads BACK ON....

It was clear from watching their pathetic questioning.

[arwalden]

9. Further Proof That Bush* Is Clueless And Just Winging-It...

The criminal Bush* is totally disconnected from reality. The idiot Bush* doesn't comprehend the complexities of what's going on. He's uninformed and ill-prepared. Like a 13 year old who forgot to do his homework so he just tries to smirk and goof and bluff his way through.

10. i just checked cspan, the link has been pulled.

i did watch it this morning and he looked and sounded awful.

11. Watching it on cspan now, some points that struck me

The lie that the ecomony was headed into a recession when Bush took office. No, it wasn't.

Bush said he overcame corporate scandel. Halliburton and Enron, anyone?

New reason to stay in Iraq-cause otherwise Saddam might leave and maybe (as David from MSNBC said) US doesn't trust Iraq enough to keep Saddm in prison for trial.

Ron Reagan Jr's remarks-said he didn't hear them, but he believes in separation of church and state -(huh, so why's he doing all this sucking up to the pope, executive order for religious lobbying, and trying to let churches do political lobbying

Asked about Cheney's comments that again link 911 and Saddam- Bush "one word-Zarqawi"

amazing to watch someone... just...lie
