3. His performance was a disaster today.
"You can't read a newspaper if you can't read". Ummmmm, see, see,ummmm.

4. My personal favorite from today was when he tried to describe
his position on affirmative action. Stammered bad and said something about University's should act affirmatively..it was obvious he didn't know what that was either. The laughter was loud and hearty. I love it when he isn't scripted.

5. Oh yes, and you know that he really didn't understand the question
especially about the data, he looked and sounded so lost. Rove's asshole must have gotten quite a workout today.

7. He won't be allowed to speak unscripted the rest of his career.
I don't expect to hear as much press about it as it deserves though.

11. Not only does * not know shit about sovereignty ...
But he knows even less and cares even less about the Native American Nations. As mom would say, he is a stoop-doodle (and that is a bad-ass dis!).

19. Is that like a "Whistle Ass" ?
How about chimpy's new name for terrorists? Olberman and Franken today were trying to come up with a shortened version. It took like 20 letters to cover it. :P

6. I was cracking up so badly. The leader of America is the biggest idiot
on Earth.

Bush had no clue what he was talking about. You even could here the journalists laughing about him in the background.

What an incompetent ass. No wonder freepers love him. He is as stupid as they are.

Bush is an embarrassment.

15. If he is this bad with the press, can you imagine him in a room
full of educated leaders when the camera is not on him?

Frightening...

16. Saw it on Keith
and about fell out of the chair. I was roaring with laughter - then went walking through the house talking to myself about how could an idiot like that be in charge?

And thanks to DU, I'm now taping the whole thing on C-span. I would have missed it without DU. This place is the BEST. :)

18. Now imagine for a moment what would happen if Kerry did that.
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 08:43 PM by Cat Atomic
Even if he only responded to one question the way Bush did. He'd be tarred and feathered, mocked for weeks.

Does anyone remember after Kerry's excellent speech at the convention, when the media couldn't find anything specific to mock... they finally came up with "he was rushing it"? It's hard to believe those same people can ignore Bush's moronic comments at this UNITY gathering.

It's unreal the way the media has covered for this stooge over the past 5 years. It's just unreal.

21. Very shocking
When ever he does interviews he often is briefed what to say because they know what is going to be asked.

22. watching it now
Here are just a few gems

"...I deal with my press corps on a regular basis. It's a mutual beneficial... we're a mutual beneficial society. I need them to get the message out and they need me to be a messenger..."

"When I came into office we had a problem with our economy. It was in a recession. In order to make sure this country's hopeful and people have a better chance to realize their dreams we need economic growth. That's why I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn't cut 'em, the Congress cut 'em. I asked 'em to cut 'em..."

"We paid special attention to parents with children..." (talking about child tax credit)

"I came to Washington aimin' to help people own something..."

inorities give Bush a cool reception
By Richard Tomkins
UPI White House Correspondent
Published 8/6/2004 1:19 PM



Applause at the Unity 2004 Conference of Journalists of Color was generally scattered and perfunctory. One heckler tried to interrupt him, shouting "shame on you" for "lying to the American people."

29. Glad Olbermann ran it
I saw it live this morning on one of the C-SPANs -- now, I've seen His Fraudulence try to wing it before, but I simply could not believe how inarticulate, ill-prepared and, yes, snippy "preznit" Shemp W. Drydrunk was this morning.

One just has to wonder why no similar such appearances surfaced before election 2000 other than that embarrassing display of vapidity and snarky smugness at a wedding reception. Was he that carefully guarded during his "governatationship"?

30. I think he's gotten worse since 2000
Something is seriously wrong with his brain, and it is getting "wrong-er" by the day.
