Bush did it AGAIN! "On Sept 4th I stood at the wreckage of the WTC"

[Carni]

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MORON?

He just said yet

AGAIN

in a speech that he was at ground zero on September 4th!

WTF?

I don't have a link...I just heard it on CNN (Live)

[bluedog]

1. I heard that

theres no way he can make the same mistake twice.......is there?.............yea.........hes trying on the other part of his brain to get his stories straight.

[hangemhigh]

2. He meant to say...

On September 4th I approved the attacks that would cause the rubble at ground zero.

[Mr_Spock]

12. I hear ya on this one - there is something very Freudian about this slip

I am just laughing, except it isn't really funny if true.

[Heath.Hunnicutt]

50. So, where _was_ he on the 4th?

This does sound like Freud's 'psychopathology of everyday life' -- which I have found to be very revealing.

Let's track this down. Where was Bush on that Sept. 4th?

[Roland99]

56. This is interesting

From 9/4



And this:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22231-2004Mar24.html

Richard A. Clarke, who served as a senior White House counterterrorism official under three successive presidents, wrote to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice on Sept. 4, 2001, urging "policymakers to imagine a day after a terrorist attack, with hundreds of Americans dead at home and abroad, and ask themselves what they could have done earlier," according to a summary of the letter included in a commission staff report. Clarke also cites the same plea in his new book.

President and Minority Leader Discuss Fall Priorities
Remarks by the President and Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott
During Photo Opportunity
The Oval Office

1:40 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: I'm honored to welcome my friend Senator Lott to the Oval Office. He is just back from an active month. I'm meeting with him and I'm meeting with Senator Daschle a little later on today. I look forward to talking about our need to work together to accomplish some important goals....

[frank frankly]

35. bingo

:puke:

[Catfight]

51. I thought he meant, August 4th I ignored all warnings of an attack.nt

[nostamj]

3. he reads his 'speech'

no one made the correction in his BIG BOOK OF LIES AND FEAR so, he read what was written. he can't go off script!

[Carni]

10. I can't believe they didn't change the speech after he made that gaffe

Help me adjust my tinfoil hat...but I think this is some type of freudian slip with this idiot.

Remember when he went around saying repeatedly in speeches that he "watched the first plane hit the first tower on TV" (when he couldn't have)

[prodigal_green]

4. He was at the dump on Staten Island?

Why don't I remember that?

The World Trade Center site has been wreckage-clear for a couple of years now. Now it is just a big hole in the ground that horribly insensitive tourists pose in front of smiling and waving.

[aden_nak]

5. Maybe that's the day it was originally planned for.

[JusticeForAll]

23. No that can't be right....

Jeb hadn't put Florida under martial law until a few days after Sep. 4. I think it was more like the day they finalized plans.

[johnnie]

6. Where did he say this?

Was that today? Is there a link yet? He is such an ass.

[Carni]

13. I just heard it on CNN

It was part of a stump speech they cut to live because he was supposedly going to comment on the missing explosives.

[johnnie]

21. Thank you n/t

[pelagius]

7. Isn't Sept 4 the day...

...he signed the presidential order enabling the creation of the wreckage of the WTC? :-)

Just a little MIHOP humor. Sorry.

[gratuitous]

8. Not trying to argue

But are you sure he said the fourth and not the fourteenth? His affected drawl gets kind of impenetrable sometimes, and late in the campaign, everyone is getting a little punchy with their pronunciation.

[DefenseLawyer]

14. A 4 martini breakfast

will do that for ya.

[nostamj]

16. positive. at first I thought it was the FIRST instance

then I noticed it was LIVE. it was quite clear.

[Carni]

17. POSITIVE

I am 100% sure he said the 4th-he even sort of stumbled as he read it (or said it... or whatever that idiot does when he speaks)

[gratuitous]

18. Okay, I trust your ears

In that case, what a doofus.

[MO_Dem]

9. I heard it too,

and thought I had "mis heard", but now it's confirmed. Thanks!

[ciaobox]

11. Bush knew.

Mosh.

[RevCheesehead]

15. That was his dress rehearsal in a sound stage at Area 51...

MIHOP. :tinfoilhat::tinfoilhat::tinfoilhat:

[Clinton Crusader]

19. that's right up there with...

They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

:eyes:

:kick:

[slestak]

20. Well, now we know . . .

. . . what Olbermann's #1 soundbite will be tonght.

[snacker]

22. Did he cry too?

Isn't he supposed give some emotional speech and cry sometime this week?

[Carni]

29. I think that's later in the day LOL

He's such a GIRL! (Sorry Ahhhnold made me say it)

[yellowcanine]

24. The Bushes have trouble with dates. Remember when Poppy Bush

insisted to a veterans group that September 7 was Pearl Harbor Day?

[chromotone]

53. I remember that one, too! Thanks for posting this reminder...

The Bushes have trouble with dates

That's true, but apparently after their "dates" they talk "pussy" (when they're not talking politics, of course...)

Ten years ago, at the 1988 Republican Convention, Hartford Courant associate editor David Fink struck up a conversation with George W. "When you're not talking politics," Fink asked the vice president's son, "what do you and talk about?"

"Pussy," George W. replied.

[Roland99]

25. Anyone with a *transcript* or a *vidcap*???

[underpants]

26. CNN:Dana Kagan "...THE BOSS President Bush is speaking in Lancaster..."

I just popped back in at home for an early lunch and heard that as a
preface to live footage of W's speech.

[AFSCME girl]

27. Good God,

what a moron!!!:mad: :tinfoilhat:

[montana500]

28. Kerry would be getting grilled rght now

nm

[NewJeffCT]

30. you're correct on that

The RW echo chamber would be firing on all cylinders getting that message out.

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Maybe that was the day they had PLANNED to have him stand there...

sorry, couldn't resist

[MIMIC]

34. I saw him say it a few minutes ago

Before heading back to my dorm room, I turned on to CNN in the lobby and heard him say the "September 4th" thing again. I literally thought I was watching some old footage of before when he first said it...but then I saw "LIVE" in the corner.

I was confused for a few seconds...I switched over to Fox News (and soaked my eyes afterwards :)) and saw that they were covering the same event.

This man is insane.

[Maiden England]

32. What is wrong with the Moran

even an amoeba knows that the 4th does not come after the 11th. Dumbass

[Peanut Gallery]

33. Gaffe aside

He is still standing on the wreckage of the WTC as his campaign platform.

[MrBenchley]

36. When did he do it the first time?

I remember him doing it sometime in the past two weeks...but I don't remember exactly when...

[Carni]

38. I believe it was about two weeks ago

But I don't recall the date--there were some threads here at DU that featured links to the transcript when it happened.

[MrBenchley]

42. I wish I could track it down...

Hope somebody out there has got a link or something...

[Roland99]

45. Hopefully...

Anyone got a vidcap of this?

[dubyaD40web]

43. October 18th at the Evesham Recreation Center in Marlton, NJ

http://www.georgewbush.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=3968

He says the 11th like 20 times throughout the speech, and at the very end he says the 11th (last paragragh).

[MrBenchley]

48. Thanks...

What a dishonest idiot he is....

[Roland99]

49. You mean the 4th

:)


I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I will never forget.

[Greyskye]

37. My Theory

Bush is convinced that 9/11 is the justification for his presidency.

Therefore, he has strong - shall we say - patriotic feelings about September 11.

Thinking about things is hard work. Therefore, he gets understandably confused trying to keep September 11 and July 4 separated in his mind.

This leads to repeated declarations about September 4th.

Idiot.

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Thus ending up, as always, a mexed missage.

He knows that. ;)

[dubyaD40web]

39. Fool me once.....

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee (long pause) that says, fool me once, shame on (VERY long pause) shame on you. Fool me (another long pause) you can't get fooled again. <9/17/2002>


We can't get fooled again either george, you freaking twit.

If he does it again, can we call it a "trifecta"?

[aden_nak]

40. You'd think as often as he talks about it, he'd remember it by now.

[seabeyond]

44. must have, suppose to happen labor? day.

right before he got back to washington. while on vacation

[Radio-Active]

46. Bush has soundbites that he's memorized and repeats..

sounds like we'll probably here this one again sometime!

[JudyM]

47. They want to hypnotise voters by repetition. HELPKERRYWIN.com

People start to believe what they hear repeatedly - the Repub's have no other option than to lean on the same tired image, and people are buying it. Our only hope is to get out the vote more than they do. Quick and easy stuff to do or to pass on to your friends, plus good links and humor/videos at

[Catherine Vincent]

52. Will the media play that up?

probably not

[David Zephyr]

54. So Does This Mean That Dubya Has A "Pre-September 11th Mindset"?

I Heard It Too, Carni...And Couldn't Believe It.

I hope they keep playing it.

[demwing]

55. Maybe he means "I hid untill the 4th day after the Attack"

but can't s.s.s.ssay it?

[rocktivity]

57. He got to Ground Zero three days later--on the fourteenth, right?

Maybe that's was causing the confusion.
