WH saying Bush wants to talk to the American people about the scandle

[rodeodance]

be because of the ongoing investigation he can not.--per msnbc just now.

oh boy!--

[Stand and Fight]

1. What's that I smell? Is it desperation? For sure! n/t

[Loonman]

2. Orwellian doublespeak

To a "T".

[carolinalady]

3. Yeah and the press called Scotty on that a few days back.

After the investigation it will be the on-going legal proceedings.
:puke:

[cliss]

4. Always later...

Notice how they do that? That's the way it's been with the war in Iraq - a complete disaster. They create cliffhangers: there will be a referendum, complete with purple fingers. Next, there will be a constitution. Next, there will be another election. THIS TIME everything will be OK.

They're always moving the goal posts further away.

[rodeodance]

7. trying to make his image look ethical (!!!).

[deadparrot]

5. LMAO. How long is the ongoing investigation going to go on? nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Ok I will TURN on my tele when the I am not a crook

speech is finally given... it is comming

[goclark]

16. That will be the "I AM A CROOK"speech

because he can't talk his way out of a paper bag.

He gets really nervous when he has to say "sorry" because he doesn't believe it.

I say, bring on the speech Chimp, bring it on!

[unblock]

8. ah, that explains why he refused to investigate 9/11!!!

because then he wouldn't have been able to talk about it!

:eyes:

[SillyGoose]

9. Bullshit. He could so talk to the American people about this scandal

without jeopardizing the investigation. He just doesn't want to.

[BuyingThyme]

10. That's what he's been saying all along...

if "all along" is the the time from which it became obvious that he was lying.

[Bob3]

11. I may be stupid but I don't get that. Unless he's being investigated

Than it would make sense. Otherwise it has nothing to do with him right? I mean Cheney's running the country he's just doing the photo ops so why should he not have a comment?

[paparush]

12. Yeah Right...Let's spitball a transcript of that little speach...

Bush**: Today, on my orders, Coalition forces have launched military operations against Iraq........uh......er....hang on a sec....(Bush puts hand to earpiece and looks away)

Bush: The best way we can honor the brave men and women who have given their lives in the struggle for a free Iraq is to complete the miss....uh...er...(Bush puts hand back to earpiece and mutters "Damn it Karl...")

Bush: Bird Flu!! Bird Flu!! Run for your lives!! Thank you, and God Bless America.

[swimboy]

13. Bush: I would like to talk to the people but my masters won't let me.

:eyes:

[Tennessee Gal]

14. Just go ahead and fire Rove!

Rove violated his confidentiality agreement and he is still there!

Corruption reigns!

[notadmblnd]

23. I hear there is a "war" on about firing rove at the WH

late last night there were rumors flying that some of the WH staff is demanding that rove be fired. There was some story about Andy Card wanting to leave and be Treasury secretary or else wants rove to go.. any talk ablut it here today?

[cliss]

24. Heh he

Last night, we were watching the movie "The Two Towers" , the 2nd movie in the Lord of the Rings series.

At one point, the orcs were arguing amongst themselves. It was pretty chaotic. Finally, they attacked one orc and started eating it.

Why does the Bush administration remind me of orcs?

[Rob H.]

15. It'd be pure, unadulterated, patronizing bullshit, anyway

He'd probably phrase it something like, "What the 'Merkin people gotta unnerstand is...(insert it's hard work, we're fahtin' 'em over there so's we don't havta faht 'em over here, all them Democrats is jus' inter'sted in playin' politics, etc., here)."

[seabeyond]

17. then he can talk about cheneys secret energy meeting, there is no

onvestigation and i want some answers. or he can talk about companies stealing elections for him, there are no investigation. or talk about how they made up ads with tax payers money and put them out like they were news reports

[lebkuchen]

18. Why doesn't he speak cryptically?

by firing Rove?

[Skidmore]

19. Hahaha! It sucks to be a liar, doesn't it!

He's trapped in his own lies.

Do we feel sorry for him?

[darkmaestro019]

22. Not in the slightest, for my part.

I feel SOMETHING....it's warm and amused and makes me want to smirk. I think it's called schadenfreude.

That little F#$*()^& can send America's poor dream-chasing troops to WAR whenever he wants for whatever fairy-tale reasons he can badly fabricate, but he wants us to think he suddenly cares about rules so much he won't grab a mic and talk for thirty seconds into a camera?

Someone above said this only made sense if he was being investigated (sorry for not quoting who) and that sounds fairly plausible to me. Either that or he's afraid he will be investigated very soon and his handlers don't want him digging himself in any deeper.

[newyawker99]

25. Hi darkmaestro019!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[TahitiNut]

20. "Bush wants..." "Bush believes..." "Bush thinks..."

When it's non-verifiable mind-reading, I know it's TOTAL bullshit.

[lonestarnot]

21. What a load of crap!

[Solly Mack]

26. I have a few choice words for Bush too - but I wouldn't exactly call it

"talking"
