W getting nasty with a journalist in Ireland - AAR aired clip
He actually got follow up questions!!!
"the world is safer without Saddam" "No. it's not - we have daily terrorist acts now - it wasn't the case 2 years ago" "So what about 911 then?"
All throughout he is cutting her off in a very nasty tone.

2. CNN showed it earlier
He looked insane.

And Bill Clinton was psycho for going off on a BBC interviewer? Bill looked pretty sane to me. Bush looked like he was going to take a swing at her.

Our journalist don't have the guts to question anything Dubya is doing.

7. Yes, the Boy King
showed what a real ass he can be - don't know which was more strongly reflected - his distaste for the "media" or her chutzpah as a woman. He definitely had issues. Replied with the same ole tired lines. He does not like to answer to anyone.

11. W: "No one can argue that we're safer without Saddam". But she argued
I think if he had a gun he would have taken her out. She missed the meaning of what he said: NO ONE CAN ARGUE!"

12. I'm sure he will do his level best
to destroy her career after that interview - as if he could. You're losing the power Dimson, and very soon - you will have NONE. Even his money won't be able to save his sorry ass.

13. Anywhere but in the US, opposing Bush is a pathway to fame and power!
This would be GOOD for her career. People intuitively HATE Bush. He's the most hated president since Nixon or LBJ during Vietnam.

17. He actually said "he refused to disarm"!
LOL so now that we're there where are those arms that he refused to dis? Oh my god this man's something else. It reminds me of the time he was sitting next to Kofi Anan and said we wouldn't have had to invade if Sadaam had just allowed the inspectors in. What a goof ball.

14. Clinton "loses cool". Bush interview is "contentious". Thanks CNN.
Whores, all. Bush "loses his cool" whenever someone deviates from the script. He's like a dumb Gerald Ford.

24. Just called and complained about that
And confirmed with the person I spoke with (really just a message taker) was going to see Farenheit 9/11. He said he was planning to! :)

404-827-1500 - tell CNN what you think. Stridently but politely, of course. :)

23. I wonder if this is the same interview
where he told the reporter that most of Europe was supportive of the Iraq war.

He's actually really insane, isn't he? Everyone says he's not dumb, so that leaves out the alternative option that he's just an ignorant ass. Unless they're just lying to make him look good (naaaah, US journalists wouldn't do that, would they? they certainly didn't do it for President Clinton...)
