C-SPAN now: Scotty's up! (WH press briefing) nt

[deadparrot]

[stop the bleeding]

1. please keep cube rats informed - n/t

[deadparrot]

3. "defending freedom..."

Here we go.

[AlCzervik]

2. Ron Regan is saying that the soldiers at press conflab may have been

coached.

[louis-t]

4. This man does not look happy

Sucks to be you Scotty.

[AlCzervik]

5. he looks puffier than usual.

[Reciprocity]

26. It's the spell I put on him.

Sunshine daisies
Butter mellow
Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!

[AlCzervik]

27. good job, i like the cut of your jib!

[mshasta]

19. he's forehead is getting higher...

}(

[lpbk2713]

6. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I love it.

Only an asshole would take a job making alibis for such an inept and corrupt bunch of misfits like BFEE.

[stop the bleeding]

7. more details please - I love watching this guy wiggle and worm!

[deadparrot]

9. It's a meme-fest.

"free and democratic Iraq," and the like.

He's whining about Helen Thomas now, I think.

[Sydnie]

8. Go Helen Go!!

"Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11".

[HeeBGBz]

11. That brought me out of the back room

Helen you rock!

[deadparrot]

12. My god, the man needs to stop bitching about Helen Thomas.

Seriously, Scott. Grow up.

[AlCzervik]

10. he is being a real prick to Helen Thomas!!

Helen--"Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11" Scotty "well we think different then you, YOU are probably opposed to the broader war on terror"

Someone spoke up and bitch slapped him for saying that about Helen.

[MuseRider]

13. That was really a dickhead

moment there. Did you see him smile when he was after her? Oh man.

[AlCzervik]

15. yes, what a doosh!! Who spoke up for her? I heard but didn't see.

[lpbk2713]

21. That was Terry Moran, ABCNews.

Sitting on Helen's right.

[AlCzervik]

23. good on him.

[deadparrot]

17. If he keeps being a dick to her, it's only gonna get worse.

He's still gotta sit in that press room with her for 3.5 more years. What an arrogant bastard, though. Just like his boss.

[Reciprocity]

36. I don't think he'll last 3.5 more years.

I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls out the "I want to spend more time with the wife and kids, get out of jail card." soon.

[deadparrot]

37. Me neither. Can't wait to see who replaces him. nt

[SCDem]

14. What did that person say?

Hopefully I can see a re-run of it on CSPAN tonight.

[AlCzervik]

20. i couldn't hear it very well but it was like "What are you talking about"

and he's says "Well if you look at her comments in the past"

[RB TexLa]

29. Had she jumped up to slap him

"Mama! Mama! Mama! Help!" I bet he could have run all the way to Texas screaming that.

[Sydnie]

16. Scotty is trying to tell these new people, who deal with satelite feeds

all the time, that they had to be scripted because of time delays in the medium? Is that what he is trying to do?

What an asshole! Anyone who watches the news at all knows about time delays but it doesn't stop the interview nor make it so that those being interviewed have to follow a script for the feed to be successful!

[VolcanoJen]

18. Scotty: "Of course, there's going to be some 'coordination' when talking..

.. to the troops." Interesting dodge.

The press corps keeps saying "choregraphed." Scotty keeps responding "coordinated."

[holboz]

96. "Coordination"

Clever one, Scotty!

So yet another Bushism has been created. Coordination = scripted

I'll file that one away for future reference when these MORANS open their HUGH1111111!!1111 mouths.

[VolcanoJen]

22. Scotty now attacking the press corps and accusing them of...

... attacking the troops.

The press corps is asking Scotty why the President finds it necessary to practice questions and answers with the troops.

The way they twist and turn it around... nauseating.

[Malikshah]

94. Perfect response to Prickmaster:

The Press trusts the troops.

Why doesn't the president trust the troops? A scripted, coached photo-op clearly shows that the president doesn't share the press's trust for the troops...

[Sydnie]

24. Who is going to be left to talk about it after the investigation is over

Scotty? Anyone we would care to hear from?

[Skidmore]

25. He's a pasty lookin' little weiner, isn't he?

They all are. Delay looks like a freakin' corpse. Frist looks like the undertaker. Rummy looks like he's got rigor mortis (sp?). * looks like a zombie. Scottie looks like a sad and confused liktte ghost.

[lpbk2713]

33. McClellan, Rove, Limbaugh, Cheney ........

Something just occurred to me .......


Why is it these asswipes never outgrew their baby fat?

[holboz]

97. Good Ol' Boys tend to be "Rounders"

That's why they all need such monster-size SUVs.


Edit: spelling!

[fooj]

28. You know what I'd love to see?

I'd love to see everyone in the WH Press Corp STAND UP AND WALK OUT...the bastard is wasting their time with his perpetual lies. He's lying to them and he's lying to the American people. That would be quite a statement, don't you think?

Peace.

[Sydnie]

31. yes, I do

I would love to hear just one of them scream out "I call BULLSHIT".

[AlCzervik]

30. Carl Cameron from Faux trying to help a brother out

jesus i hate them all!

[FreedomAngel82]

32. These are always fun

[deadparrot]

34. Aw, man, what a great question...

"You define 'total victory' as a free and democratic Iraq. Does that mean it's not free and democratic now?"

See Scott. See Scott spin.

[SCDem]

38. Who asked that question?

And did he give it an answer or just on to the next question?

[deadparrot]

42. I didn't see who asked it...

basically he spun..."what we're talking about is a free and democratic Iraq..."

Basically repeacted "free and democratic Iraq" about 5 more times. Absolutely no substance.

[jsamuel]

46. "Total victory is a free and democratic Iraq,THAT IS ABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF

So now we have a new definition for 'total victory'.

[William Bloode]

35. Snotty says the Iraqi forces are in the lead!

You mean that whole single battalion???????

[Tesla]

39. We love Lester!!!!

One question.... who started the "looking forward" shit????

[Sydnie]

40. Ahh Les ... get laid already!

I know your questions would change if you could just feel the afterglow for yourself!

[AlCzervik]

43. crazy ass Les never disappoints.

[William Bloode]

41. HA ! He avoided the whole question on homosexuality.

He just said i won't answer that question lol!

Is it me or does he sound nervous and very jerky today?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

44. nervous and jerky today?...

hasn't he been for, like, the last month?

:P

[William Bloode]

50. He seems especially bad today.

Lotsa pauses, his voice is all over in tone.

[William Bloode]

52. Says Miers is not under fire?

Where the hell has he been? On his knees under Jimmie Jeff's desk?

[deadparrot]

45. He sounds out of breath! nt

[AlCzervik]

47. Hey new guy from BTC? Balls out!!!

[deadparrot]

48. That was fun. You could tell he wasn't amused by Scott's little welcome. n

[AlCzervik]

71. i think i found btc news--link

http://www.btcnews.com/btcnews/

[Viva_La_Revolution]

49. informant has disappeared?

Answer the question Snotty!

edit: freeper spelling. need more coffee

[Sydnie]

51. First I heard that he disappeared n/t

[displacedtexan]

59. Me, too.

Also, I read this morning that Bloomberg (or someone in the know) alerted the wealthy biz types several days before the "regular folks" were warned.

[deadparrot]

53. Scotty's boiling over a bit, isn't he? nt

[MuseRider]

55. My goodness

he is really fuming isn't he?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

54. did you see the looks on their faces!

how can they report on her qualifications IF THEY WON'T FUCKIN RELEASE THE PAPERS???!!!!!

[AlCzervik]

56. "some people" "some people" "Some People"

[VolcanoJen]

57. Order!!!! ORDER, I SAY!!!

Man, Scotty needs a gavel!!!

:rofl:

[Tesla]

63. Push him in the corner!!!!

Oh where is Jeffy when you need him!!!!!!

[MuseRider]

65. These guys are really

stressed. There is something lurking behind that smile, a looming crack up maybe?

[William Bloode]

58. Doggin' him hard on Miers!

He has no answer other than "her record and qualifications".

[deadparrot]

60. Woohoo! Press room brawl, LOL. nt

[displacedtexan]

67. Jim Maceda was screaming!

He screamed (after Scotty said religion wasn't imporDDDent), "NOT IMPORTANT? NOT IMPORTANT?"

Then everyone else jumped in.

[tishaLA]

61. He has a coup on his chubby hands!

[bmcatt]

85. Scottie just got taken out to the woodshed

And got the shit kicked out of him.

He couldn't deal with his own words being used against him (again) and went on the attack against the reporters.

As Jon Stewart said, "The White House Press Corps has been secretly replaced with real journalists"...

Damn, but that was fun to watch.

[Wilber_Stool]

62. I think I remember this from the past.

It's called a shouting match, isn't it?

[stop the bleeding]

64. Plzzzz sumarize - stuck at work with no TV, but it sounds heated

[deadparrot]

Reporters are all shouting at Scotty, who faithfully repeats the memes.

It's a bit chaotic.

[Tesla]

68. "What do you know about her???"

"How is able to handle all this!!!"


Those are the questions!!!



Answer this!!!!!

[Reciprocity]

66. How dare you make the suggestion

Miers might want to withdraw her nomination.

[MuseRider]

69. Ahhh, now I get it.

If you disagree it is because you just don't know. I have heard this before. Hmmmmm.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

70. He keeps saying "she should be rated on her qualifications"...

but won't tell us what those qualifications are.

"will be fair and follow the constitution" just don't cut it.

[Tesla]

74. Record QUalifications, and Philosophy

New FOCUS!!!!

[William Bloode]

82. But, but, but.....

He welcome the discussion? Then why does he not discuss it, rather than dance around the issue. He just keeps saying look at her record and qualifications.

Man the press guys and gals were all over him. I wonder how long he can handle this kind of pressure. How long before he resigns to spend more time with his family, or some other such nonsense.

[otohara]

72. Record & Qualification's, Qualification's & Record

Record & Qualification's, Qualification's & Record, etc....Scotty sounds like a broken record.

[jsamuel]

88. looks like we have a new bingo square

[burythehatchet]

73. I wish this fucker wouldn't smile

makes me want to punch him in the face.

[RB TexLa]

75. Someone needs to just

Stand up look at this idiot and tell him "you have not answered anything, this is bullshit, I'm going to go cover dogs that take kittens into their litters, more real news there than here." And walk out.

Standing ovation guaranteed

[Viva_La_Revolution]

83. dogs adopting squirells....

way off topic... but sooo cute!

Dog mothers baby squirrel that fell from tree
http://www.katu.com/news/story.asp?ID=80326

[lpbk2713]

76. I love the way this is heating up.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving asshole.


That smug SOB.

[VolcanoJen]

77. LOL.. John Roberts from CBS just accussed Scotty of starting...

"a brouhaha by attacking the press, when I'm just trying to ask a question."

:popcorn:

Scotty: "I want to talk about qualifications, you want to talk about religion! The American people want to make this debate about qualifications. The press just doesn't like to be criticized."

They look like they're going to throw tomatoes at him any second now.

[Tesla]

80. They laughed in his face!!!!!

I need a cigerette!!!!

[deadparrot]

81. Yeah, the wuss definitely ran away. nt

[Mist]

90. But that's what everyone's been asking about:"WHAT qualifications?" nt

[VolcanoJen]

78. LMAO... "We love you, Scott! We still love you!"

Scotty just wrapped up the press briefing to a chorus of laughter.

As he left the room, a reporter yelled that out. :-)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

86. I don't know whether to laugh or

:puke:

[Wilber_Stool]

79. "We still love 'ya Scott."

[Democrat 4 Ever]

89. Read somewhere this morning on a blog, called Snotty Scotty

Idiot Non-Savant.

Perfect - perfect - perfect. Scotty IS the Idiot Non-Savant.

[stop the bleeding]

84. Is this gonna be on later today??? n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

87. check CSPANs scedule

They re-air later, probably this evening.

[meganmonkey]

98. It will re-air at 4:24pm today

http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/schedule.csp

[Reciprocity]

91. Great thread, nominated. n/t

[spinbaby]

92. The White House transcript

I wonder if the "official" transcript will accurately reflect what went on.

[Reciprocity]

93. MSNBC was talking about the scripted photo op of * with troops.

Also about how this was brought up at the press briefing. Then CNN's Headline news was just talking about the contentious press briefing and the Miers nomination. So this press conference is getting some press of it's own.

[oregonindy]

95. Is there a way to get questions to reporters??????

in other words how do we the citizens of this country get our voices heard in this damn circus show?
