Anyone Catch *'s Interview With The Irish Reporter?
Saw some of it on CNN. Man, was he pissed!

I love when he said "Saddam had torture rooms." As opposed to what we had/have on the ground in Iraq and around the world?

The worst is when he goes into his school marm lecturing posture. It's like he's seen too many old war movies. You know, how in the movies the Yanks are in Italy, France or Germany and the locals can't understand what the Yanks are telling them in English...so the Yanks speak r-e-a-l s-l-o-w E-n-g-l-i-s-h and suddenly, je comprende, ich verstehe etc?!

He's moved from a national disgrace to a world-wide laughing stock.

5. here's a video of it
RealPlayer: http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0624/primetime/primetime56_1c.smil

Note the biblical reference he makes - quite fitting: Here is the verse from Matthew Bush was thinking of:

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

10. Thanks
That's why I love DU. We Can link instantly to the news, and obtain it first hand.

Bush sounds like an addict that is in denial. Are you more afraid if Bush is lying, and knows it, or if he actually believes the nonsense he says.

4. She's an actual reporter
which was very refreshing. He didn't know what to do with himself, especially when she sid that ..."No we aren't safer, there are bombings every day" and then he tried to blame 911 on Iraq again, not directly of course but he tried to make a connection.

6. she did keep her cool...
just a slight look of surprise on her face when he admonished her interrupting his nonspeak and redirect him to the question at hand. and she didn't stammer or er.... ah..... once, or look like she was in the presense of a god like those embeddeds do back home.

9. "He didn't disarm/"
I love that line. They keep saying Hussein didn't disarm, that he didn't dismantle his WMD programs.

He HAD no WMDs, he WAS disarmed!!

There's nothing more insulting than an idiot treating someone else like an idiot.

13. Is he really the 1st Pres to call for a Palestinian State?
For some reason I thought Clinton had this idea?

17. Clinton was certainly backing it by the end of his presidency
http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/Peace/clintplan.html

"First, I think there can be no genuine resolution to the conflict without a sovereign, viable, Palestinian state that accommodates Israeli's security requirements and the demographic realities.

That suggests Palestinian sovereignty over Gaza, the vast majority of the West Bank, the incorporation into Israel of settlement blocks, with the goal of maximizing the number of settlers in Israel while minimizing the land annex for Palestine to be viable must be a geographically contiguous state."

27. So goofball lied AGAIN!
When I heard Shrub say this TWICE today, somehow I knew he was lying! Or maybe that is just anothr bit of proof that he doesn't read, doesn't remember anything, and simply doesn't care!

14. Randi Rhodes played it a couple of times on her show this
afternoon. He still kept trying to connect 9-11 to Saddam and Iraq. I loved it when the reporter said the world was a much more dangerous place after he said it was a better place with Saddam gone. Then he got mad. Too bad our press doesn't do the same.

15. I saw part of it
He would ramble on and then the reporter would ask a question and he would say Let me finish.

I think Bush lives in an alternate universe because his answers didn't fit reality.

He said that Saddam cut off hands of several people and the good people of the U.S. gave them new (artificial) hands. Well, that's fine. But what about all of the U.S. soldiers who now have new (artificial) hands and legs? And what about the U.S. soldiers who died? Not to mention the Iraqis.

Yes, we got rid of Saddam, but the man now in charge is a CIA operative who planned bombings when Saddam was in power. Doesn't that make him a terrorist?

22. If anyone spoke to me in that tone of voice...
...I'd tell him to go fuck himself, and if he wasn't flexible enough to consider that then I'd tell him to go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut! Why not take a flying fuck at the m-o-o-o-o-n?
Drunken shitbags earn no respect holding higher office between their knees.

26. I so wish she would have said "are you done now? Can I ask another
question, or do you want to repeat your previous answer ANOTHER three or four times."

He's such a dickwad. He says "let me finish," and then he backs up and repeats what he just said. It's the Condi stall tactics, but without a US media whore doing the asking (and, a woman at that), he hasn't a clue what to do.
