"Dark" people CAN self-govern...sez *

[SoCalDem]

He was "congratulated" by Canada's prime minister for "saying things just right"..

:eyes:


We have such a moron in charge.. I am embarrassed :(

[mopaul]

1. what the fuck..............................?

.........it's all over folks, here's the keys, lock up on your way out

[SoCalDem]

3. He's like the "slow" kid who must be praised incessantly..

"GOOD" job on tying your shoes..
Good job on using your "inside voice"..:eyes:

[MetaTrope]

12. Bet Cheney gave Bush a lollipop after he talked to the 9/11 Commission

:eyes:

[SoCalDem]

27. I wonder if he reminded him to go "potty" before the meeting

I wish all of the dems had just gotten up and left.. Did you know that after they took notes, they had to LEAVE the notes at the WH??

[seabeyond]

2. what is this retardness with the color of skin

he is obsessive on pointing out the color of skin.

he is talking to his bubba joes to convince them they can self govern

[Stephanie]

4. I can't wait to see the transcript of this one

It's excruciating!

[SoCalDem]

5. He repeated the SAME dumb phrase at least 3 times..

:(

[Stephanie]

7. Yes he did

He circled around it a few times before he landed on this one.

RACIST PIECE OF SHIT.

The whole world can appreciate how INANE this is, right? It's not just us?

[BurtWorm]

14. Did he actually say "dark people"?

What were his actual words?

[mopaul]

6. ME TOO.....cartoonists for bush in 04 RAWK!!!

[central scrutinizer]

13. Oh don't worry

it will be cleaned up so * will sound statesmanlike. They do it all the time - try to sanitize the garbled nonsense into something resembling rational speech.

excerpt:

Why is the Democrat-loving, Republican-hating, pond-scum-swilling, lower-than-the-rug-on-the-floor, biased, liberal (curl upper lip when pronouncing) press protecting George W. Bush?

You don't believe it's happening? Well, then, tell me about the furor over W's speech last week to a joint meeting in Washington of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Newspaper Association of America.

You didn't hear about it?

That's the proof.

If the press were not protecting Bush, you'd have read in your Chicago Tribune -- or Washington Post or New York Times or Wall Street Journal or USA Today -- that he delivered one of the most confusing, inarticulate public addresses since . . . well, some people would say since his news conference a week before.

[SoCalDem]

15. They need to "court-reporter" him..

I am a well-spoken , literate person, but when they sent me a copy of my court testimony, my family and I just howled at the "uhs" and "ums" and "ahs".. They type EVERY sound you make.. even a sniffle or a sneeze.. :)

We need a court reporter to accurately memorialize his extemporaneous speaking:)

[Stephanie]

17. I am wondering if whitehouse.gov will post the video

Usually they'll post the video and a transcript when he appears.

Waiting for it. Think they'll do it?

[SoCalDem]

24. I am betting..... No

This was only a 3 or 4 minute thing..and he babbled incessantly :eyes:

[LittleApple81]

45. See post 35. n/t

[leesa]

20. Because he's a bigot trying to show he's not a bigot.

"Some of my BEST friends are darkies..."

[imax2268]

8. did he really say that...that's what

I get for making a sandwitch...DAM...!

Please someone say that got that on video...or audio...something...please post a transcript someone as soon as it's available...!

[BurtWorm]

9. Are you serious? Did he really just say that?

:wow:

[Robbien]

10. And texas cowboys cannot!

How in the world could BushCo or any of his advisors think this would be an appropriate thing to say? What are they thinking? Racist pigs!

[imax2268]

11. that's like

the ultimate Bushism...heh heh heh...!

HE'S TOAST...!

[mindfulNJ]

16. Hey... we know

how * feels about "dark" people...:eyes:

[imax2268]

18. lol....

buuuuuuuuuuuuwaaaaaaahhhahahahahahahahahahaha....

:yourock:

[SoCalDem]

22. I was waiting for him to break into a chorus of "Mammy"

for a minute there..:)

[maggrwaggr]

26. what's his other hand doing in that picture?

seems like Shrub might be whispering "turn your head and cough"

[LynzM]

19. Need a link!

Gah! More idiotic, racist quotes from our chimp-in-chief. Not surprising, but I want to pass them around to a few I know who still plan to vote for him...

[SoCalDem]

21. Sorry.. there will be NO link on this gem

It was an impromptu "Q & A" when he exited the WH with Canada's PM.

Hopefully someone taped it and will show it or create an audio of it..

[Stephanie]

25. Here's a picture

Just checked Yahoo news and the only quotes in AP and Reuters stories are WRT the prisoner torture. Somehow they overlooked the racist remarks.

Martin looks not-too-thrilled about it:

[TrogL]

44. Looks like Martin smells something really bad

or is trying to restrain himself from punching Dubya's lights out.

[donsu]

46. agree LOL

nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. Sic Jane Elliott on him!

http://www.magenta.nl/EyetoEye/contraste.html

Boy, this lady would have a field day with Chimpy!

[Poiuyt]

28. Yep. Those dark skined people sure are a credit to their race!

Bush is such an idiot

[Stephanie]

29. I am looking at every article to find this quoted

They have conveniently left if out of all the stories. I've checked AP, Reuters, Bloomberg, and a few independent papers. They quote the press conference extensively but not this. How can we get the exact quote? We need video.

[BurtWorm]

30. Maybe the Daily Show will run it on Monday.

And it will be on their Website on Tuesday. :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

31. It was such an impromptu thing, that it was probably not even recorded

Maybe a canadian press person has it recorded.. They would have been interested in what their PM had to say.. That might be our only hope.

[Brewman_Jax]

32. We can see who rode the short bus...

back in elementary school. And there are people who actually voted for him. Doesn't speak well of us, does it?

BTW, nice pants!

[SoCalDem]

33. Not too "elitist", I hope ..

:evilgrin:

[Brewman_Jax]

38. No, and just enough "fancy"

:thumbsup: :evilgrin:

[liveoaktx]

34. What was the context of these remarks? Did a reporter ask him

something or was he talking about the Iraq handover or what?

[LittleApple81]

35. HERE IS THE ACTUAL QUOTE from the WH page:

snip...

There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern. I reject that. I reject that strongly. I believe that people who practice the Muslim faith can self-govern. I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily -- are a different color than white can self-govern.

And the Prime Minister -- I don't want to put words in his mouth -- but I think he shares that great sense of optimism and possibility. And it's good to have a friend who shares that with us.

Would you like to have the First Ladies come on up?

PRIME MINISTER MARTIN: I've got to say, though, I really do like sharing a press conference with you. You answer those questions perfectly. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you. Record that.
more...

[G_j]

40. great, thank you!

now that is just plain ridiculous!

[BurtWorm]

43. As an atheist I can only say

God help us. :eyes:

[Stephanie]

47. I can't believe they actually posted that!

I just transcribed it from CSpan - we can compare to see if they left anything out.

[G_j]

49. I wonder what Rice and Powell

are thinking right now?

[seabeyond]

48. seemed a lot more muddled to me

when i heard him say it. seemed like there were real sentences in htis one. not when i heard it with pauses and misups all over the place. starts and stops

[SoCalDem]

50. yep.. and he definitely said DARK..and even BROWN

and he said it at least TWICE.. They have scrubbed again..

Maybe a canadian reporter got it on tape..I would love to see it again :)

[SoCalDem]

36. I missed the question, but he was standiing there..rocking back and forth

like he always does ..while he desperately searches for words.. It was about the "atrocities"..and then he started rambling about how some people don't think that "dark" people can have a democracy..but HE does..and then he rambled some more and just kept coming back to the part about dark skinned people and how he was sure that they COULD self govern..

It was BIZZARE...even for HIM..

[G_j]

37. ok

I've skimmed this thread and L'm not the only one who missed it. A little detail PLEASE....

[SoCalDem]

39. Bush and the Canadian PM were leaving the WH, and

they stopped for a few minutes, and Bush took a few questions. and then the "fun" ensued.. He babbled his racist crap.. the PM spoke in French, and then they left.. It only lasted a few minutes.

[G_j]

42. the real question remains

can a racist moran govern?


thanks for the synopsis

edit: to add 'racist' ..now that is more accurate

[Bluebear]

41. Proof that GOP's "big tent" is only for white folk.

"people whose skin color may not be the same as ours"

Implying, of course, that Americans are not that "dark" color. Another Bush gem.
