Commadeer Cuckoo Bananas speaks ... CAUTION HEAD EXPLODER .....
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 05:32 AM by Botany
"In terms of, umm -- you know, the -- the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the detainees. It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on, on the word of, uhh -- and the allegations -- by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report. It just is. And, uhh, you know -- yes, sir."
-- The word Dubya is looking for here (and not finding) is "dissemble". That doesn't stop Dubya from acting like he's giving the media pool a vocabulary lesson, though. Answering question about criticism made by Amnesty International regarding the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, White House, May 31, 2005

From dubyaspeak.com

The man is dumber than an orange peel. Just try to read that statement out
loud ....... it is impossible.

1. daddybush is the only other person on earth who talks that way
used to drive me nuts the way he'd drone on and on and never finish a fucking sentence and inject seemingly unconnected sentences in with the mix. only jr. is much much worse.

embarrassing to the extreme

3. I think he misspeaks on purpose ...
It covers up the double-speak in his response:

"It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on, on the word of, uhh -- and the allegations -- by people who were held in detention ..."

Who the #$%^ else would you base these allegations on? People answering the phones at the psychic hotline?

Of course, he could have pointed out that he didn't know why AI has their knickers in a twist, since everyone knows the naked pyramid was at Abu Ghraib, not at Gitmo.

4. I love it.....
when the worst and most ignorant president EVER attempts to show his command of the English Language by using multi-syllabic words when he doesn't know their meaning, or in this case the word itself. How can the Press Corps keep a straight face? Why do they not report on our room temperature IQ President's countless blunders? This man is as dimwitted as they come yet he's allowed a free pass with the media.
How can anyone take this intellectual lightweight seriously? :shrug:
He's a total embarrassment to our country. The rest of the world must think we're all ignorant hillbillies. :eyes:

5. No, Asshat, disassemble means to take something apart.
Dissemble means to not tell the truth. That's one you should be very familiar with.

7. Recounting what happened to you while in American custody...
...doesn't make you hate America. Having all those things done to you in the first place makes you--and most of the rest of the world--hate America.

8. Well. If they didn't hate America before, they sure do now.
And "head exploder" is a great term. I'm going to start using it.

gang of thugs spread bull crap on toast and tell us it is "Country Style Apple
Butter."

11. Tweety on his "show" last night kept saying that Chimpy
was really sharp at his "press Conference" yesterday.

Three things -

1 - Chimpy wasn't sharp, he was still the dull-witted frat boy who is bluffing his way through life on the coat tails of another dull witted frat boy (41).

2 - that was no press conference, Tweety, Sir, I've seen press conferences and that was just a another staged managed photo op by a crew of fascists that is pulling Howdy Dowdy strings for the reporters.

3 - and finally, didn't it use to be assumed that the leader of the free world was "sharp," smart, on the ball, a thinker, visionary, something? That Americans once upon a time just didn't elect any A$$wipe that blows into town on his Daddy's friends dime. It was actually part of the job description? BUT, apparently, on the few days when Tweety thinks BushBot has used his Word-a-Day calendar correctly qualifies him to point out to every one that Chimpy "was sharp today?" It is such a rare occurrence that it should be duly noted?

Tweety has no credibility but somehow he managed to sink even lower in the pandering pool last night. Between the "sharp" remark and his goading every guest to say how terrible Felt was for ratting out Nixon, to letting Ed Rogers take over the show and completely taking over the Dem rep last night. Tweety is dangerously close to making Tucker Carlson looking like a moderate alternative. Double yuck.
