2. He is only good because he has an ear piece
and they keep it simple and prepare all the questions.

Dog and pony show.

Sick about it really.

4. Wasn't his last primetime new conference...
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 05:54 PM by hopein08
the one where he couldn't think of any mistakes that he had made?

I may have missed one or two. I try not to watch him.

I am expecting the worst so I am not too worried.

I'm mad that CBS is carrying it! I would much rather watch "Survivor"!!!

11. Yeah, he couldn't think of any mistakes he made- while he was
wearing that tie that strobed like crazy and drove you nuts looking at it. He had to have known the tie was a mistake.

24. he freaked out and ended it suddenly
was asked some real questions and after stammering for awhile said there was not enough oxygen in the room and left.

I sure hope some real questions get asked this time.

30. Get some of that solid liquified natural gas and light a fire under
your ass! If you accept this mission, make your theme * and disgusting bodily functions and/or medical conditions. This post will self destruct in ten seconds...

28. I'm sure he will.
If he doesn't vent here, I'm more likely to have to listen to his screaming and swearing (in both English and Italian) through the weekend. :)

31. Wish I could swear in two languages. Would it be okay to just
add some vowels, like Bush is a stupido assiholio, dumbi scumbagio, nitwitini, assihato and stuff like that?

12. Why are you worried?
He'll likely make a complete idiot of himself, so what. Frankly, I hope he does show his true colors. People need to take a closer look at who they voted for. Perhaps, they wont make the mistake of voting Repuke again.

17. He's good at press conferences?
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 06:25 PM by in_cog_ni_to
The journalists who are there are INVITED. They sit in a particular order that McClellan puts them in. Bush has a list of names, in order. The journalists are given the questions he wants asked and McClellan writes out the answers for him. It's all choreographed.

Number 1...call on John King. Here's the answer.

Number 2...call on Davis Gregory. Here's the answer.

Number 3...call on Wolf Blitzer. Here's the answer.

Number 4...call on Campbell Brown. Here's the answer.

You get the drift. These press conferences are a JOKE. Or are you being sarcastic? and I totally missed it? ;)

OK...I see your :sarcasm: at the bottom of your post. Nevermind! (done in the voice of Gilda Radner :) )

19. But his numbers tank every time he does one...
Besides, it's fun to watch him dodge questions.

It's not so fun to watch the press take it like lap dogs, though, and not ask followups.

25. there will be no real questions asked
we know that.

This so called presidential press conference is nothing but a marketing technique. It is too bad that the networks will carry it and endorse it as such and it is too bad that there will be NO rebuttal from anyone who sees it different.

This is simply another Bush ad,

and who pays for this?

29. My take on thsi press(ed ham) conference ......
The fact is, they don't want to hold this. They know his numbers turn to shit every time he opens his dumb fucking yap. I think this is another stunt to prop his dying ass up. A mark of desperation.

He's more like President Bernie at this point.
