Bush had the questions from that Irish reporter beforehand... |
|
... and he still responded like sputtering spoiled child. I guess he is not familiar with the follow up questions that a free non-whore press tend to ask. Here is a great breakdown of it: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/

1. He acted like he didn't read them |
|
Can he read anything more complicated than The Pet Goat?

2. Oh, for Pete's sake ... |
|
can't they find an adult literacy volunteer to hang around with him, in case there's something that needs to be read and explained to him? Cripes, the Bushes* are fucking made of money aren't they? Pickles could do it, if nobody else...

3. His answers reminded me of a child who has memorized |
|
Like how a child, who has just learned the alphabet, can only recite it if they start from the beginning. He seemed to be in a panic over completing each answer before going on to another question.

10. He does not know how to THINK, period. He had the questions ahead of time |
|
He memorized his answers, and Goddamn it, how DARE she ask him something AHEAD of time? He had to finish what he memorized, first!
Fuck her! Let's lodge a protest, because she wouldn't let me recite what Dickie told me to say!

5. That is exactly what I thought. |
|
He was probably afraid he would forget his place an bust out "yellow cake from Nigeria" or "ties to al qaeda" again.
He kept giving her that look like "How can you be so stupid. Im right and everything I do is God's will." You know he is rattled when he gets that vacant stare while smirking and shaking his head

6. The problem with a bush* interview, or speech for that matter, is the guy |
|
thinks he can just say the words 'terrorists', 'rape rooms', 'the world is better off without Saddam', and 'suiciders', and that covers every and all situations. He's not smart enough to think on his feet, and he has to keep repeating himself. Throw in some smarmy smugness, plus a dash of arrogance, and a pinch of delusional behavior added to the conviction that he's right and no one else could possibly know any better than he does, and you have the perfect recipe for a bush* speech or interview. It never varies because it's beyond his intellect to form coherent thought patterns. That's why he's gonna get creamed in any debate that doesn't involve an earpiece.

Also, the US created its own mass grave and torture rooms, so Saddam's aren't much of a justification for the invasion.

9. In Bob Woodward's book BUSH AT WAR, he explains that |
|
I don't think I owe anybody any explanation on why I do things;other people may have to explain things to me, I owe them nothing.
Add to this arrogance,his feeble mental capacity and the manufactured persona created for him by the likes of Karl Rove and Karen Hughes,you have a clear cut case of a person completely unfit for any job let alone the Presidency.Tragically, not for him but for our country, he is also blissfully unaware of his inadequacy.

12. I begin to think this was a "planned spontaneous" moment |
|
Remember when Bush Sr went off on Dan Rather during a live CBS interview?(on a point about Iran-Contra, I believe) It was a deliberate move to paint Rather as mean and Poppy as "not a wimp".
I begin to think we just saw Dubya try something similar--make the mean girl look like she's playing "gotcha" when Dubya is the real game player.
