Love This WH Talking Point On The "Scripted" Teleconference Yesterday...

[DistressedAmerican]

"You are missing the broader point of the event which was merely to highlight the up coming vote on the Iraqi Constitution."

Scotty has been chirping away on that theme trying to shift discussion away from questions about the President not getting reliable information from coached troops. Was trying that crap yesterday too.

The whole thing blew up in their faces so badly that they are scrambling. Hysterical. Bang! "Ouch my foot!"

Hi Karl!

1. it sure is funny

why not just have Bush get up in front of his podium and explain to the American people what "the upcoming vote on the Iraqi Constitution" means to the American people? what is so hard about all of this that makes this administration unable to talk to the American people without gimmicks and props?

3. I think he's tried that.

And people are getting wise. He apparently needs all the gimmicks and props he can get.

5. this administration is far from up front with us...

so, i know they have "tried" that, but if at first you don't succeed... uhh...hmm... you don't succeed again?

6. because

It means nothing to the American people. It's hard to get up in front of all America and say guess what " we just wasted billions of dollars, 100,000 + lives for nothing. Oh and we're going to keep at it too." There simply is no message to tell us thus the parlor games.

2. "you are missing the broader point..." Translation:

"Wah wah wah! Why aren't you embracing my talking point?! The Iraqi Constitution is the most important thing! Freedom! Liberty! They're marching dammit! Why are you reporting actual facts about our fake facts? Wah wah wah wah wah! :cry:"

4. Perhaps they mean that the upcoming vote will also be scripted. n/t
