Irish reporter hammering chimpy on CNN International 1020pm pst |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-25-04 12:28 AM by AussieInCA
the first half of the interview just finished, the 2nd part (15mins long) will be on in the next hour.
LOL, when they cut back to the CNNI crew they were speachless for a few seconds.
I think it is the first time they've seen a reporter 1 on 1 go hard at chimpy on the questions.
Told him terrorist bombings are daily now.
Distracted from going after Al Queda by Iraq
No WMD, (chimpy ranted on about they had the capability)
Then she hit him up about using God!!! and chimpy's answer..."I seek guidance from him and my relationship with god is private"
ROFL

6. he got a bit worked up, asked her to let him answer hehe |
|
He was being very humble though...no cowboy swagger or arrogance. Someone obviously prepared him to show some humility.

3. what is this "journalism" you speak of my friend??? |
|
I don't understand. A reporter asked real questions? Is that possible?? We'll have to make sure this person doesn't end up at Guatanamo Bay next week.

Could've fooled me. He and God seem to walk around with each others hands in their back pockets.

8. Yeah - what's up with that? |
|
This is the asshole who said "God told me to be president" and "God told me to strike Iraq" and "God told me to strike Al Qaeda" and said that shit in PUBLIC interviews AND in the state of the union address, if memory serves.
Private my ass, you stupid fucking imbecile. it was poretty g--amn public back when you were swaggering and cocksure that the media you bought and threatened would never question you. But now you're losing your shit, your house of cards is tumbling down, and you're afraid to admit to ANYTYHING you said in the last three years!
FUCK YOU MR. SHRUB!!

10. Makes me wonder if this isn't a response to Ron Reagan's comments! |
|
in the euology and repeated in his recent interviews.... Perhaps Rove has told him to "cool it," given some polling that suggests Ron R's comments were striking a nerve?

he's playing "international leader" there and the fundie over the top crap doesn't play in Europe---its only a "private" relationship there. Over here its far too public

Shows how much of a weasel he really is. If he were as committed to his God as he says, he wouldn't be embarassed to proclaim his BS in other countries as well.

41. I guess he must have taken his "God speaks to ME" sandwich board off |
|
BEFORE he went on camera. "...my relationship with God is private"??!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!??!??!?? WTF? Since WHEN, george? When did THAT happen?
Wish I could see the interview - link doesn't work for me. (Probably my system, or better yet, my "know-how.")

9. Don't you wish we could have gotten a selected clip of F9/11 to one |
|
of those Irish (or other nonAmerican reporters) to play for him --since of course he'd never see it on his own... Then ask pointed questions! Damn, I know they could get him to lose it!

|
Edited on Fri Jun-25-04 12:49 AM by AussieInCA
it rattled him...I just started watching so missed the gist of it though.
Kind of on par with F911 images..she was very explicit describing the scene.
It was one of those Rummy fungible moments. (I think was her point..he is detatched from the true costs)

Why do others not understand what you are about?
history will determine it. I don't chase popularity polls.
America is not in it alone. Tony Blair is a great partner.
The United States is a big fighter of AIDS.
European countries...how do you feel about support? Well it is about France you mean. Most EU countries are very supportive.
How do you see the handover? can democracy happen? 100 dead today? the free world has to make a choice, cower in the face of terror, or lead in the face of terror. I'm proud of Allawi..he's strong, he's tough.
AT EU, democracy to the broader middle east..should you start with Israel/palestine issue?
talks about turkey..
she said tried to bring him back on topic.
he yapped on about let me finish.

Bush can't handle Q&A
he looks very nervous
expressed much displeasure with being interupted
Politicians in Europe are politicians...Bush is a mythilogical character that avoids critisism

I have real objection to the unelected in positions of power, and that includes God. If people want God running things, his name needs to be on the ballot.

Thank you for web-casting the interview Carole Coleman had with George W. Bush. She is a fine journalist and I wish the American press would ask the same sort of questions. Not that he would answer with anything but patronizing platitudes, as he did with Ms Coleman, but it might wake some Americans up.
We'll do our best to get someone smarter for her to interview next year.

He doesn't understand the concept of conversation. When he would pause she took the opportunity to move the interview along and he would get all pissy. How many times did he say "please let me finish" and then go on to say nothing substantial. He acutally winced when she asked questions a couple of times. This is not going to endear him to the Irish. He comes across as a total prick.

35. How in the world is it possible |
|
to be so rude to a journalist??? Always interrupting and saying: Let me finish.
Did you look into his face, he didn't want her to ask that way, he acted like he is warning her to go on asking. Like :you are not allowed to ask me in this way, so stop it!
I hope a lot of people will see this!
