First question to Bush in Cleveland was about Kevin Phillips' new book!
Edited on Mon Mar-20-06 01:41 PM by DeepModem Mom

First he'd heard of it.

This was at a Cleveland speech, on CNN. Bush answered with some of his usual rhetoric, in his usual painfully halting way.

Here is a post of a review of the new book, "American Theocracy." Philips, who wrote "The Emerging Republican Majority" in l969, says that that majority is now "American Theocracy."

I guess Karl Rove reads these important political books for him? Not only has he not read it, he's heard nothing about it.

1. Bush and book should never be used in the same sentence

Remember when Bush claimed to have read that DRY, lengthy biography of Dean Acheson?

4. 2nd ?...bullsh*t premises for going to war.
Taking it to him, but he just keeps on lying and dodging...never said saddam ordered attacks on America. Where did we go wrong on intelligence. Jeebus...why do I listen to this drivel.

At least he's getting tough questions.

5. he's having
a total friggin meltdown.
Stumbling, angry, stuttering badly, off on a rant, raising his voice.
Not answering the question.
I can't believe his handlers are letting this happen!
Pay attention people, this is the real *

7. The Audience
He's gotten some applause, BUT the first 2 questioners have put him on the spot and he looks bad because it is obvious he is trying to slip and slide as usual. Even said 'he' never connected Sadaam with the War on Terror. Not much he didn't. Is there anyone left who can't see right through him.

He'll leave very soon with one more question that isn't a setup.

8. w/out answering, he shifted to Iran. I suppose that is an answer.

He must be stopped.

11. "How can we help you?"...
Hanging curveball.

Bobbing and weaving like a punchdrunk fighter.

17. Let me take a wild guess here - he didn't answer the question?
Of course, since he hasn't read the book, not answering wouldn't be too hard. Of course, not answering ANYTHING isn't too tough for these assclowns.
