Bush Press Conference: The Usual Tragicomedy

We are told that Bush will once again put on his dog-and-pony show (also known as a press conference) at 10:30 am EST. We'll post updates when it's over, but we can confidently predict that:

1. He'll be his usual smarmy, smug, fidgety self.
2. He'll make at least one idiotic joke about a reporter followed by that trademark self-satisfied chuckle.
3. Most answers will devolve into some version of terror/freedom/terror...
4. Pre$$titutes will display an exceptionally well-honed skill, namely, to ask seemingly tough questions that evaporate into the mist of Bush's drivel. Follow-up questions will never hold Bush on his contradictions.
5. The atmosphere will be a repulsive mix of faux-seriousness and joviality, entirely inappropriate considering that American troops are dying in the sands of Iraq.
6. We'll be left wondering why a fake news show is harder-hitting and more revealing than a presidential press conference with a gaggle of so-called 'journalists' confronting a failed president.

1. LOL

I am bookmarking; yes INDEED! Just don't make us take liquor shots, OK? :D

3. Yes, please no shots. It's not even 8:00 here on the west coast

too early to start drinking. Even with Bush still in th WH. Even for me.

2. the exchange I'd liike to see

Mr President, critics of your Supreme Court nominations have indicated their concern for the lack of experience found in these nominees in relation to their judical experience.

Well *he he he* I didn't have that much experience as a president and I don't hear any complaints about me (you know you can hear him say it while the earpiece he wears screams an alert).


Umm Mr President, don't you think you showed lack of experience when vacationing the month before 9/11 and ignoring warnings, when starting a war with Iraq on false information, and when vacationing the month before and the week directly following Hurricane Katrina to give some examples?

*he he he* Ummm *whispers* I need a bottle now dammit--I hate these bastards!

4. Someone please count the jaw ticks

This has made watching him easier for me to just focus on his freaky jaw shift. What is that about?

5. The question I'd like to hear

Sir, is your back-slapping, happy-go-lucky tone appropriate to the gravity of the mess you've gotten America into?

[Skittles]

6. OMG!!!

that WOULD be an excellent question; it's one thing that really grates on my nerves, his freaking attitude

7. The whole circus atmosphere repulses me

He's always joking around and the Pre$$titutes laugh along with him. Pathetic.

8. they did it when he was governor of Texas

I remember seeing him on TV and thinking WTF? What a stupid asshole.
