"A Conversation With The President" thread (FOX, 8 p.m. EST)

[Paragon]

And be sure to stay tuned for "Performing As..." at 9 o'clock.

Hmmm, I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere...;-)

[gulliver]

1. Fox: Voice of the GOP

Wonder why Bush didn't decide to go with a network. :eyes:

... So much for Fox's fig leaf.

[Manix]

2. .....that's all the support he's got left....

Fox and the diehard repugs!

[Paragon]

3. kick

Lies in 5!

[spanone]

4. What's the point . Propaganda & Bullshit.

[Junkdrawer]

5. They didn't preempt O'Really...They put it on FOX Broadcast.....

I guess fairness is really dead.

[Junkdrawer]

15. Murdoch is giving the Chimp 60 minutes of PrimeTime Free...

:mad:

[DavidDvorkin]

6. Oh, yeah, there's a joke.

But it's on us.

[cthrumatrix]

7. He should be wearing a "softball outfit" for this crap.....this is the

state of our media...you wonder why $87B never get's scrutinized.

[Paragon]

8. Oh...my God

The banality...the horror, the horror...

[rocktivity]

9. Just as I suspected--the touchy-feely-warm-and-fuzzy angle

But it's nothing that a magnum of white zifandel and a shot glass can't sure. I'll be feeling warm and fuzzy myself very soon.

[cthrumatrix]

11. he's praying alright....he's praying they don't take him away in cuffs

typical bullshit ....softball questions.

[rocktivity]

24. Softball questions? You're giving Hume to much credit

Softball questions, my :kick: These barely qualify as BADMINTON questions!

rocknation

[Avatar13]

83. Badminton? You're giving him to much credit

Try tee-ball.

(OT: I think badminton is more difficult than softball ;-))

[rocktivity]

10. He mentioned Prayer! EVERYBODY TAKE A DRINK!

rocknation

[Tatiana]

22. I need a long island for this one!

[kskiska]

12. Oh, here are the religious questions everyone here predicted

How often do you pray?
I pray in the Oval Office.
I pray for families that have lost a life.
I pray…
I pray…

[jab105]

13. Never use God to produce foreign policy decisions??

WTF?!

Abbas would disagree...didn't God tell you to attack Iraq Georgie?

[cthrumatrix]

14. this is insane.......totally insane...when it the next attack...?

[proud patriot]

37. Bush lied ...He said "god told him to strike"

:grr:

[Cocoa]

16. Brit's doing his best

but Bush is just too big a pig. There's not nearly enough lipstick in the world for him.

He so far has managed to look evasive about golf and praying, and invented a new word "braveness."

[Paragon]

17. BLESS YOU, FOX NEWS!!!

First, you provide Al Franken with tons of free publicity and now THIS! People won't want to spend 60 more minutes with this fool, much less 4 more years!

Can we get Brit Hume to run Bush's re-election campaign?!?

[rocktivity]

18. THREAT-MAKERS! EVERYBODY TAKE A DRINK

Here's our new post-post Iraqi war buzzword!

rocknation

[texas is the reason]

19. and uhh..and ummmm...calm in stormy seas..

hi everbody-longtime reader, firsttime poster- figured i would have sign up today-and make fun of chimpy-!!

[jab105]

26. Hi Texas......

Welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[jumptheshadow]

27. Hi, Tex!

:hi:

[rocktivity]

31. Welcome to DU, Tex!

:hi:

rocknation

[texas is the reason]

35. yee-haa!! thanks. not really from texas, but....

[Don_G]

36. Welcome Aboard!!!

:hi::hi::hi::hi:

[frank frankly]

39. welcome aboard

President Stupid welcomes you, too, because he's stupid.

[cthrumatrix]

20. He has his "puppet masters" prep him for the day...granimals etc...

Analyze the threats...? How about how do we create jobs in this fricking country.

We meet all the time ....I have a nice shiney desk...and this door is nice...this is how "our leader" at work.

Lord..save us.

[rocktivity]

21. He's as personable as a cactus

and he's MUMBLING! I can hear Hume quite clearly without turning up the volume! He's taking us of a tour of the furniture? What is this the House and Garden channel!

rocknation

[jab105]

23. Is this a tour of the White House....

WTF!!

Oh, Brit remarks that in the picture, the tough guy looks like a Bush....

SMMOOCH goes Brit's lips to whistle-ass!

[DancingBear]

32. Continuing the paint-by-numbers tour...

And that painting over there, all the blue in it is #7. All the white spaces are #9, that's how I know where to put the paint. I also painted a picture of happy clown, but I had to use the color for #3 for his nose instead of #12, so it doesn't look too good. I'm the President, though, so it's OK!!

[cthrumatrix]

25. If you had an hour to ask about the presidency...would you spend 1/2hr

to talk about paintings and what's his favorite color.

Now we'll get "terra...terra...terra.....justice...justice....need money"....for the remainder

[Papa]

28. You could almost hear him want to say...

that I was called by God . I am his instrument and am serving a higher purpose.

[Paragon]

29. Holy shit! FReeper thread is being attacked on all sides!

Massive un-freeping! Good job, people!

[Cocoa]

30. did Fox accidentally keep the outtakes?

How is it possible for Bush to be blowing something like this?

How can Bush not be able to give Fox enough to make him look good?

I've seen these things before, they can be very effective. A totally sympathetic interviewer, Bush can get across any positive impression of himself that he chooses, and he's still totally blowing it.

He's toast in 2004.

[Lefty48197]

33. "I'm a man of peace"

Yeah right. Peace, unless your federalist society friends script a war in Iraq to make up for your father's failings, and convince you that it will get you re-elected. Otherwise, I'm SURE you're a man of peace.

[cthrumatrix]

34. man of peace..? WTF....he slected the damn war......this is a comedy

if they are rating for next years emmy's.

Category: most insane leader in prime time

[Papa]

44. Let's not forget...

He's already presided over 2 wars.... so far....

[rocktivity]

38. He mentioned 9/11 and the war on terra! EVERYBODY TAKE 2 DRINKS!

rocknation

[cthrumatrix]

41. did he say"slavery"..."sex slavery"...wtf...????????

[ryharrin]

51. yeah, what the hell was that?

[cthrumatrix]

54. i thought he did...that's the quote of the night...to deal w/slavery and

sex slavery....bar none.

This guy is a nut case.

[Papa]

61. Sounds like an issue or a term that went off the charts...

in a focus group, and he just wanted to get it out there to stir up his base, make them feel emotional about it and see how noble he is for "doing the right thing".

[Paragon]

40. Please God, let there be a new Daily Show tomorrow night

There is so much fodder here, they'll have to make it an hour-long special!

[texas is the reason]

42. we'll make it clear we were right!!-arrogant prick.

[jab105]

43. "I will make it clear that I made the right decision!"

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

:wow:

[Toby109]

45. Why is he fidgeting?

He's got the biggest whore tossing him softball questions and he still manages to look a childish idiot.

Check out his feet on the two shot.

[cthrumatrix]

46. Cleary...his pants are full.

[Toby109]

49. And possibly on fire

[jab105]

47. "Our goals and abmitions are noble".....

oh really?

:spank:

Bush is going to tell Chirac that we are a good nation, when we see suffering we respond...

Oh my gosh, this is crazy....

"revisionist history"!!

[Paragon]

48. "The French were waving and smiling"?

Waving their middle fingers, confidently smiling in the knowledge they'd see him in front of a war crimes tribunal one day.

[rocktivity]

50. You did NOT declare "the end of MAJOR military actions"!

Did you catch that?

rocknation

[cthrumatrix]

52. his reply to "daily death"....."well...well....there was loose arms"....

can't we just say we screwed up...we didn't plan...we didn't get Sadam...we didn't get WMD's...we didn't wait for the UN....and now we wil spend $4b/month

[texas is the reason]

53. brit hume is picking a fight with syria "..what are you gonna do aboutthat

[cthrumatrix]

55. Spending like a whore...with a repug house/senate backing...duhhhhh

Has NOT veto'd one spending bill..the increase are not becuase of war alone...this was already documented....he's a liar.

[jab105]

56. Drink up, he said September 11th.....

:beer:

[texas is the reason]

59. im about to spit beer after that stretch..

terra!TERRA!TERRAAAHH!!

[marigold20]

57. Thanks to all who are reporting - you have strong stomachs!

.

[Paragon]

58. OH SHIT...he called Islam "a fake religion"!

:nuke:

[FlashHarry]

60. He didn't!

Tell me he didn't say that!

[Paragon]

62. Already spun on freeper thread

He meant the terrorists interpretation of Islam. And that's all I will comment on the subject. GW has been outspoken about the issue of Islam vs. terrorism. No clarification should be needed.

[jab105]

63. Did he say that...

crap, I missed it....

what was the context?

[jus_the_facts]

64. Man.....he kept looking over Brits shoulder to his que cards.......

....anybody else notice that? :puke:

He should be UNDER a jail....or...:evilfrown:

[Toby109]

65. The really sad part?

This is taped, not live. I'm guessing heavy editing of this piece. And this is the best they could do with the material they had.

Sheesh...This is the leader of the most powerful country on Earth. Just think of how the rest of the world must view this. I am sure they are shaking in their collective boots. I know I am.

I don't know when I have been more ashamed of my country.

[texas is the reason]

66. i didnt think rove would even let hume mention dean-

thanks for the plug!!

[rocktivity]

67. He NEVER reads news stories? EVERYBODY TAKE TEN DRINKS!

rocknation

[jab105]

71. I'm too busy knocking my head against a wall....

I rely on my staff to give me the news, because then I know that it wont be biased.....

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[jab105]

68. !!!!!!! I dont read the news, I just get briefed by Condi!!!!!!!

I'm gonna puke, this is our president...he just gets "briefed".....

Does anyone else see something very wrong with this....

He says that opinions can be mixed in and that....

PEOPLE ON HIS STAFF GIVE HIM UNBIASED NEWS!!!!!!!

[Cocoa]

72. that was the only part I believed

"I glance at the headlines, rarely read the stories." No shit, the idea of him reading a newspaper story is laughable.

"The people that brief me probably read the news." Yeah, normal adults read the news you idiot, in particular senior White House aides. You're right, they "probably" read the news.

[texas is the reason]

73. there are a lot of big words in the news...

anyway, we always knew he was a puppethead for condi/rummy/wolfowitz/crashcart, but now he just leaves no doubt."so whats my agenda today, condi.."lol!

[soleft]

90. That's exactly the mindset of born again fundamentalists

They don't want to be even exposed to other ideas or opinions. This is very, very scary.

[texas is the reason]

69. the most objective people on my staff are NEOCON SPAWN OF SATAN

[cthrumatrix]

70. he has a job....it's tough stealing $87B for the corporations.....he has

no soul....

He's in a position to lead ? He's has a plocy of peace? and makes people free..?

How does he get news....? Card, rice ...rarely reads the stories ...just gets briefings...he should just share that the puppetmasters are all that really matter.

His staff is the most objective? That's where he get's his news..?

We can all go toss....this interview has been such a confirmation of every reason why we can't let this idiot in office another day.

[Cocoa]

74. he whiffed on the most obvious softball all night

Brit was practically begging him to say that the criticism against his father bothered him more than the criticisms against himself, thus showing what a selfless individual he is.

Bush must have missed the signals, because he ended up sounding like it didn't bother him because he didn't understand the criticism.

[beanball]

86. That clown prince in the whitehouse

reminds me of early tv comics.

[jbm]

75. this interview changed my mind....

Bush is not evil...he's just incredibly,hopelessly,stupid. I mean waaaay stupid..beyond stupid....arghhhhh!

[Davis_X_Machina]

77. Oh, he's evil, all right....

....and not very bright.

It's called 'low cunning'.

[priller]

89. He's evil AND stupid

A deadly combination.

[tridim]

76. Imagine the debates

He can't even perform on tape in a comfortable setting with softball questions on a sympathetic network. He is beyond toast.

[Davis_X_Machina]

79. Surveys in 2000 showed that...

...if you watched the debates, you thought, by 60-40, that Gore won. If you watched the coverage of the debates, by 60-40, that Bush won.

No reason why it can't happen again.

[Avatar13]

78. "It's not even a blip on my radar screen (the dem primary)...

... because I have a job to do?" (paraphrased)

Jebus, what an arrogant, lying prick. Or is he just not worried about who's counting of the votes?

[rocktivity]

80. Here's the transcript (if you dare)

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,98006,00.html


rocknation

[cosmicdot]

82. this "interview" is on the eve of "his historic" speech at the UN?

why is Faux spinning the speech at the UN as "historic"?

[Enraged_Ape]

81. This is quite possibly the most mentally retarded man on Earth

My heartfelt thanks to all of you DUers who were able to sit through this. I just read the transcript and I am slackjawed.

I have known several cognitively impaired people in my life and career as a physical therapist. George W. Bush, hands down, beats them all. Unfuckingbelieveable.

[Davis_X_Machina]

84. Be careful...

...or you'll be tangling with Representative JD Hayworth's (R-Medulla Oblongata) lawyers.

This is a title he's prepared to fight to keep.

[frank frankly]

91. they don't call him President Stupid because he's smart!

Dubya is a case study in so many awful ways...

[tjdee]

85. He TALKS with FDR?

"But it's interesting that the eagle looks at the talon of the olive branch on this presidential seal. On this one, he looks at the talon of the arrow, so something happened between Franklin Roosevelt AND ME, and what happened was, Harry Truman said, we'll look at peace not at war, after World War II. So the eagle looks -- and of course, you've got to make sure you got plenty of arrows, so when you look at peace you leave (ph) a lot of presence (ph)..."

Um, frightening. This is WITH editing, people!
:crazy:

[opihimoimoi]

88. That Poor Thing is Pathetically LOLO.

How in the World did this "Challenged" person ever make it to the Oval Office?

America, we got HAD

[FlemingsGhost]

87. Clinton isn't the only one to have his dick sucked...

in the Oval Office.

"Bitch" Hume ought to be ashamed.

[frank frankly]

92. DemsUnite, that is the funniest thing I've heard in awhile

Bitch Hume must be tired after all that!
