Alright goddammit!! At least 3 threads on how SCottie is being spanked

[Richardo]

and not ONE example for the cube dwellers.

:grr: C'mon gang! If you can't provide some quotes spare us the hysterics. We have NO idea what you're talking about. :nuke:

[Jo March]

1. Yeah!

What you said!!

[sniffa]

2. OMFG - you have to see it

it's incredibLe, the ass kicking he's getting.

[Richardo]

I *know*!!!1!1! It's HUGH 11!!

[meegbear]

3. Nobody does for AAR broadcasts ...

why should they do it for this?

[wtbymark]

4. softball quest right now

from Indian reporter, but the rest of the core won't speak of anything else they refuse to ask anything else

[shoelace414]

7. what are they asking about?

[wtbymark]

9. after 15 or so nasty questions about Rove and scotty himself

Scotty wont acknoledge any domestic press right now- only talking with foreign press, the US press is boiling

[faithnotgreed]

5. the tradition continues.... i love how excited everyone is about it

but alas there are no examples or details

[Pirate Smile]

6. Now Scottie is only calling on foreign reporters for questions.

They aren't asking about Rove.

[w13rd0]

12. He tried calling on a Fox Reporter...

...thinking it would be a safe haven. He's visibly shaken. So after calling on Carl Cameron, yes, Bush-ball-sucker "my wife worked for your campaing, hammered Scotty a bit on Bush's "confidence in Rove"...

You are so right. Haha, ALL the domestic reporters are going at it...

[spuddonna]

8. Scotty's response:"I will not comment on an ongoing criminal investigation

Just told it again to a Fox reporter...

[wtbymark]

18. David Corn of the Nation

grilling but getting the cold shoulder, asking why hasn't the chimp taken any action on his own to find the leak, he is the president afterall!! bwaahahaha i love it

[Jo March]

26. Wow! This sounds delicious!

Again, wish that I could see this! Thanks for elaborating.

[spuddonna]

20. press reporter:"Newsweek says Karl Rove passed nat sec info..."...

"...is the President taking no action on that? Are you saying the Pres won't do anything until the investigation is done?"

Scotty: "We just won't have more to say on it until the investigation is finished."

Reporter basically rephases question again...

Scotty:"Again, you're asking questions about an ongoing investigation..."

[fob]

28. He ADMITTED it's a CRIMINAL investigation? Score one for our side!

[peacetalksforall]

10. ?????? Will someone in the in crowd of listening please elaborate? nt

[TayTay]

11. Scottie, tell us about Rove and Plame

Puffy McMoonface says: I can't comment on an ongoing investigation.

Lather, rinse, repeat
and repeat
and repeat

the wonder of it is that the press is not backing off of this question, not in the alternate versions of the question itself.

[Jo March]

14. Thanks, TayTay

That helps. I wish I could see this.

[acmejack]

62. Streams at cspan

[Jo March]

66. No sound card, no streaming apps allowed here at work

I don't even have a radio. That's why threads like this with no detail frustrate me so much. There are many folks on DU who are at work and in the same situation as me. We all depend on other DUers who are lucky enough to be watching, listening or streaming as events unfold.

[Jo March]

13. 8 threads on this and no details

"Look at his body language!" "This is great!" "I've dreamed of this!"

Anyone? Play-by-play? Someone?

[w13rd0]

16. Scottie resorts to calling on...

...some absolute Wingnut that ALWAYS talks about Clinton. Haha, here's the synopsis, "Scotty is trying his DAMNEST to avoid Rove, but even the absolute Wingnut brings up Rove, and asks if he'll be continuing to give speeches."

Haha, somebody HAS to post this for those who aren't catching it.

[Pirate Smile]

21. David Corn just asking if the President isn't going to do anything until

the investigation is over.

Corn trying to get Scottie to acknowledge that Bush is free to deal with Rove himself.

Crazy Lester asks "question" about Karl's "excellent" speech to conservatives (therapy for terrorists) so Rove should give more speeches, right? No real answer from Scottie.

[Citizen Jane]

15. Okay

I just came in, but Corn won't let it go.

Basically his question is: "* said he would do something about it, so why isn't he? He doesn't have to wait for Fitzgerald and it is obvious Rove outed Plame."

That was my paraphrasing!

[Citizen Jane]

19. N.B. I am gleeful that he is needling Scotty

Mwahhahahahaha!

[faithnotgreed]

23. thank you citizen jane

[Moochy]

17. LESTER KINGSOLVING

who is this stooge?

[w13rd0]

25. Just that, a stooge...

...an even MORE unbalanced wingnut than Jeff Gannon. But of course, Scotty always turns to him.

Will no one mention to Scotty that saying President has spoken to 60 senators is meaningless?

And this wingnut just asked if Bush was going to make O'Connor Chief Justice...WTF?

Wow, Scotty, if you are willing to drone on in a dialogue with this right-wing stooge, then you are REALLY desperate. Haha, AND BACK TO ROVE!

[Moochy]

37. he also said mentioned clinton for SC

:eyes:

He mentioned Roves "very good speech" or some such crap

[Gidney N Cloyd]

53. Looks like "Captain Peacock... "

[Caution]

22. David Corn from the Nation is asking why Bush is not responding to

the newsweek report and McClellan is basically simply refusing to comment on an "ongoing investigation"

He is clearly uncomfortable.

Some radio host just threw a total softball question regarding the "wonderful speech karl rove just gave" and McClellan stated that he expected Rove to continue.

Speaking about Orrin Hatch's comments on the "level of outreach regarding the president's discussions with senators on the SCOTUS nomination.

[Moochy]

31. Who is Karl Rove as it relates to this administration?

April Ryan asking how important is Karl Rove to this administration?

her mic went quiet and twinkie the kid dodged the question.

he's getting baraged.

A reporter just said scottie made a statement that was demonstrably false. (closest thing to calling scotty a liar i seen yet)

He's getting hammered

[wallwriter]

44. Three years later, the WHite House Press corps catches up...

[Caution]

24. The press corps is clearly pissed and being vocal that he won't

answer anything re: Plame or the SCOTUS nomination

[Richardo]

30. Now all we have to do is send them back in time about 3 years

and sic 'em on Bush in THIS frenzied state.

[wtbymark]

27. Scotty: "does anyone have a question on another topic"

[wtbymark]

32. This has got to be the 30th question on Rove- lol luv it

[Richardo]

34. You bet we do, Scottie, but you won't answer those either!

Tool.

[Citizen Jane]

29. Putting on my Tinfoil Hat now...

Anyone else got interference on their cable/satellite feed? Seems awfully convenient!

:tinfoilhat:

[Caution]

33. He's now simply cutting reporters off as soon as they mention Rove

he also mentioned that the pres wont nominate someone who legislates from the bench (their activist judge crap).

He states he won't comment until the investigation is complete. He refuses to even say whether or not he stands by what he said previously.

[w13rd0]

35. OMG

Scotty is resorting to a "personal appeal"...HAHA...

Back to a foreign journalist. Man, they've never gotten this much time :)

But of course, their questions are generally critical as well, but they aren't about Rove, and then Scotty rambles incoherently for several more minutes.

Man, I want him to start crying and run off stage.

[Richardo]

39. That. Would be SWEET.

Cry Scottie cry! :cry:
(Everybody!)
Cry Scottie cry! :cry:
Cry Scottie cry! :cry:
Cry Scottie cry! :cry:
Cry Scottie cry! :cry:

[spuddonna]

36. Oh geez! April Ryan asks questions on Rove and her mike 'goes dead'

She was asking something about how the President and Rove were talking ? this morning, and then the mike goes dead.

Scotty gave the "No comment til invest. done and moved on..."

[Moochy]

41. he's grateful for this asian reporters question.

add alot of pauses between words .. slow down. eat up time.. n korea topic.

[Pirate Smile]

38. Dana Milbank said we now know that what you said previously wasn't

true. Scottie won't respond or answer.

[gkhouston]

43. bwahaha

betcha Dana's gonna be the first guest on Olbermann tonight. This is sweet.

[Pirate Smile]

48. He will probably have a snarky column up on WP website some time

today on the whole Rove affair. Hopefully it will be good. He certainly has enough ammunition.

Someone asks if Scotty has a personal attorney for his dealings with the Special Prosecutor. No answer.

[Pirate Smile]

70. He was second after Isakoff.

[pgh_dem]

52. hunh...wonder if Dana would support a 'mock hearing' of evidence

against Rove.

Bout time they dropped, Dana...

[gkhouston]

60. having read his stuff throughout 2004

I'm guessing an editor's had a chokehold on him that has been released.

[Pirate Smile]

63. He is a bipartisan snarker. Let him aim it at them.

[TayTay]

40. C-SPAn Will repeat this later on tonight

Check the S-Cpan tv schedule site. They should psot an update as to when this can be seen sometime later on today.

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

[Caution]

42. Now crap about a "de-nukularized" North Korea

Asked about offering of new incentives to North Korea and he is stating this is wrong and that there is some proposal for NK to respond to.

[Citizen Jane]

45. Ooooh, LMAO

They just won't let the subject go. WAHOOO!

[spuddonna]

46. Alexis Simendinger"When the investigation is over..."

"Will you release all the documents?..."

Scotty:"Until the investigation is over, I won't respond to this..."

nice...

[Caution]

47. Will the pres release all info after the investigation into the leak is

completed. McClellan says she should ask the special prosecutor. Again refuses to make any comment.

the press is not letting this go. McClellan saying that Fitzgerald said not to comment while investigation is ongoing. Saying that * wants the investigation to continue and be completed.

Now a "terra" question from what sounds like a French reporter regarding attacks like london in the US. He of course says "take the fight to the enemy and stay on the offensive"

[Caution]

49. Asked if McClellan has engaged an attorney for himself

another refusal to answer. Now a question about the rumours about Rehnquist retiring. Just more political crap about the "process" and finding the right nominee.

[w13rd0]

50. If there are any reporters present...

...this question needs to be asked:

"Is President Bush upset that his chief political advisor apparently lied to him and the nation about a matter of grave national security? Why should we trust him if he won't dismiss those that have given him bad advice and incorrent information?"

[Citizen Jane]

51. "terrorists vs. the civilized world"

Anyone else think that is a bad, or at least potentially bad frame of the situation? Cause I sure don't think that what is going on at Gitmo is very civilized...:puke:

[gkhouston]

54. what a perfect time for this to blow up. With the press smelling

blood, they're going to be all over Scottie's ass about the SCOTUS stuff as well as Rove and any nominee the WH sends up is not going to get special pampering from the WH press corps.

[spuddonna]

55. Wow, now April's mic works!

Question on voting rights and voting reform, but Scotty had nothing to add...

I missed the cackling of the reporters at the end - what the heck were they laughing about?

[Moochy]

61. Probalby scotties denials

Most likely the 40 or so african children who died since the press conference started? sorry, just saw Girl in the Cafe last nite...
:grr:

[Caution]

56. The press corps was actually laughing

afterwards when yet another plame question was blown off and McClellan just ditched out of the room and the reporter who was trying to ask the question stated "ahh forget it, it's not worth it"

[acmejack]

57. Laughter at Scottie when it ended!

They were joking about him!

[Pirate Smile]

58. AAR is now playing some of Scotty's gaggle.

Maybe it was old - when he lied re Rove. I just turned it back on after listening to C-span.

Al is now ranting on Rove.

[Moochy]

59. Chucklefest

And the press conference concludes with the front row whores themselves chuckling over Scotties evasion.

Hehe he wont answer our questions, how cute!!

[KoKo]

64. What I noticed was that they were laughing at him in DISGUST at the

way he ended the Press Conference. Scotty looked really stressed, sweating bullets and was raving on about "Terrorists vs. the Civilized World. Like "terroists" don't know what "civilized" is and they don't come from the "civilized" parts of the world. Sheesh. I guess Scotty wants us to believe that terrorists come from some hidden part of the world that the "explorers" haven't reached yet..:eyes:

He was really off his mark and having trouble repeating parts of his Repug talking points. I've often thought his brain was replaced with a box that just repeats the same Repug Speak over and over and over.

That's why the press was laughing at him. He was falling apart and I think they enjoyed it. My read of it, anyway.

[WinkyDink]

65. laughter

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to read that, whether it was at Scotty or just in general fun.

[TriMetFan]

67. Boy this is such wonderful news.

I hope the "Press" has woken up.

[Richardo]

68. Thanks for the details, you all!

That was MUCH better. :thumbsup:

[skip fox]

69. Scotty knows Rove's troubles are just beginning. 2 indictments coming

at least. One for masterminding a criminal conspiracy! He had to coordinate the 6 calls and arrange for ready confirmations.

Oh, boy!
