Voice of little Scotty McClellan: < through control panel > Scotty here, Captain.
Captain bush: What in blazes is going on, Scotty?
Voice of little Scotty McClellan: I dinna know, Captain. We're losing power, and I don't know why!
Captain bush: Well, do something, man! Go to manual override. Cut in auxiliary systems.
Voice of little Scotty McClellan: Saints preserve us, Captain, but even the emergency systems are out.
Captain bush: Well, fix it, Scotty. I don't care how, but fix it! The lives of 430 neo-cons hang in the balance.
Mr. Spock: Life support system are still operative, Captain.
Captain bush: But for how long, Mr.Spock? For how long? Lieutenant Uhura, inform Starfleet Command of our situation.

19. "We're going to have a thorough analysis of the response efforts" |
|
In other words, "If anyone leaked the CIA Agent's name, they will no longer be a member of this administration."

22. "There are some that are interested in playing the blame game"... |
|
Scotty won't answer the "accountability" question from David Gregory.
"WE'VE GOT TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE TASK AT HAND! WE"VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS SINCE SEPTEMBER 11th! We're staying on the offensive abroad! But we have a major disaster here in the U.S...there are people who are suffering and that's what we have to focus on"...
The signal keeps cutting out today...

23. David Gregory gets mad |
|
Bringing up President saying "another attack will happen," saying "isn't it more than a blame game" when that sort of thing could happen again any minute

25. Helen Thomas "In view of the national crisis, will the president... |
|
...cancel permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?"
McClellan: "I think he's made his position clear on other priorities."
That means permanent tax cuts for the rich, folks.

Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 12:36 PM by The Witch
Scotty: The President Terry: So the President will take accountability.
OMG Terry is so mad. "It sounds to me you don't want to answer Qs about accountability. You have said the government could multitask! Why can't you also deal w/accountability? Your job is to answer questions!"

31. But McClellan IMMEDIATELY replied "YES!" |
|
I can't WAIT to post the transcript on DU later today.
This puts the "Rove / Plame" conferences to shame.

32. So ANDY CARD was in charge for the first 24 hours... |
|
...and "The President is in charge at the White House."
And since Bush was sucking CAKE off his fingers during the first 24 hours, that means ANDY CARD WAS IN CHARGE FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS.

33. "i'm not going to play the blame game" |
|
the Gulf Coast is at very real risk of being hit by more hurricanes at any time ... without learning exactly what went wrong, more devastation will likely result ...
to call it the "blame game" rather than acknowledging that the response was totally inadequate does nothing but pass the buck and put more lives at risk ... McClellan is a disgrace ...
