Does anyone have the transcript to the SCARY "press conference"

[Oddman]

bush did today "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it," I just saw bits of it and it scared the shit out of me.

The political capital quote is near the middle of the transcript.

3. Even worse was his insistence that the press was now subject

to a one-question rule.

When some guy tried to do a follow-up question after Bush glibly ducked his first question, King George literally taunted him:
"That's more than one question. Didn't you just hear me tell you there was a one-question rule? Don't you understand that is the will of the people?"

The Daily Show ran a much lengthier segment from this press conference than any of the "news" networks I've seen, and Stewart, of course, was appalled. Ironic isn't it, a fake news show doing a more thorough job of passing along the news than the news networks.

It was a truly frightening scene. To the press members that have given him a pass on so much shit the last four years - I hope you enjoy the monster you have spawned. You deserve it, but the rest of us deserve better.

6. I agree with your last sentiment.

I don't feel the lest bit sorry for those media clowns. They seem to have enjoyed his abuse over the last four years.

7. did you catch on several occasions he couldn't remember

the second part of the question, this happened at least four times.

He not going to change a tiny bit for the past four years, after all he has Capital and a mandate (51% of 59%) what a mandate.

8. Still the same arrogant little man with an ego the size of Dallas.

He seem even more embolden. It's good to be the King. This will be a very long 4 years, worst then the last.

12. THAT WAS THE SCENE!!!!

JEEZ - and now Cheney is saying the election was a mandate!!!!

We have our work cut out for us for four more years folks - we must hold them accountable.

4. Kudos to those who can stomach watching this stuff

I personally cannot look at his disgusting face. I don't know if I'll ever be able to again without vomitting.

5. It was hard enough seeing the clips onThe Daily Show

Will bookmark the links and try later though

9. Not only not look at this arrogant little man, his voice and

speech tone make me ashamed to be an American citizen. He is a living cartoon with his little finger on the trigger.

[wabeewoman]

10. I only saw the Daily Show clips

as I really can't stomach watching him. He was even more cocky and arrogant. I'm hoping Michael Moore is right and his arrogance will be his downfall.

:)

13. from his photo op - does this guy ever work?

In the election of 2004, large issues were set before our country. They were discussed every day on the campaign. With the campaign over, Americans are expecting a bipartisan effort and results. I'll reach out to everyone who shares our goals. And I'm eager to start the work ahead. I'm looking forward to serving this country for four more years.


Yeah, chimpass is gonna be unifying. You don't have to fucking reachout to people who already share your goals you fucking, lying, treasonous, murdering asshole!

14. As I watched his ego

huffing and puffing I couldn't help but wonder how many people saw this display and wished they had their vote back. He did not seem like such a "nice guy" to "have a beer with" anymore. He was scary, and still, the media kisses his ass. By the way, where was Helen Thomas?
