CSPAN Caller - * Was Hunched Over At The Podium - Had Bullet Proof Vest On

[matcom]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

caller said that Bush had a bullet proof vest on during the debate and THAT is why he was hunched over during the debate. went on to lambaste the media for not reporting this "fact"

she said, "YOU try and stand there for 90 minutes wearing a heavy bullet proof vest!"

:eyes:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Zynx]

1. Bush hunches over podiums at the State of the Union address.

[ET Awful]

2. LOL. . . well if it weren't for the fact that modern "bullet proof" vests

aren't exactly heavy anymore since they're made of kevlar and ceramic plates, unlike old style ones which weighted a ton, she might be on to something.

Of course, there's no need for a bullet proof vest when you have 1,000 secret service agents and everyone in the building is searched numerous times.

What a loon. :)

[doni_georgia]

5. Wouldn't put it past Bush to wear one - Paranoid is as paranoid does

But he ALWAYS slouches. Bush has terrible posture. He's eaither slouching over a podium or strutting like a damn rooster - those are his two postures.

[umtalal]

30. doni: your last line is making choke with laughter. you guys are too funny

Hey, can we nominate this thread for the most idiot freeper?? This is just unreal.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. Well maybe he had four or five bulletproof vests on

just in case. You don't know.

[TrueAmerican]

8. Exactly

And its more likely he would be standing erect since the plates are counter balanced in the front and back and leaning over would just drag you down.

[soothsayer]

18. Don't you remember the level of paranoia at his speech at the war college

where he's surrounded by officers and congresspeople and whatnot, but he's got a bunch of SS guys who are stuck to him like glue when he's shaking hands with people? LOL that cracked me up.

And I think he was wearing his vest that day.

[indef]

3. watch me roll my eyes

If terrorists were to take a crack at the debate site, chances are Bush would need more than a bullet proof vest.

Besides, Kerry doesn't need any protection!

[bushwakker]

4. He was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders...

like Jesus Christ himself. You try debating for 90 minutes with that burden!!! God these people are crazy. Don't know if the good guys wind end up winning this thing or not but I sure am glad I ain't one of them.

[jljamison]

22. The weight on his shoulders was not the bullet proof vest..

The weight on Bush's shoulders was the weight of his atrocious record

[nostamj]

24. the 'weight on his shoulders'...

[MrBenchley]

6. If he does that badly at the next two debates

Karen Hughes WILL shoot him.

[sherilocks]

9. The Republican caller also mentioned the

thing sticking out of * back. The response from the Texas newspaper was that if the secret service put this stuff on * , then John Kerry would also be outfitted the same way.

[City Lights]

27. I saw a lump under his suit coat in his upper back when he hunched over.

What was it? I was glued to the t.v. Thursday night and didn't participate in the DU threads so I don't know whether this was discussed then. Did anyone else notice it?

[Lefta Dissenter]

10. I think it's just that

debates are hard work!!! I mean, it is haaaaaaaaaaard to stand here for an hour and a half - way past my bedtime, I'll have you know - and, well, have that mean guy say bad stuff about me. :cry:

[LiberalFighter]

40. Freepers didn't use the excuse that it was past gw*s bedtime?

[MirrorAshes]

11. My aunt put it brilliantly--he looked like he was slumped over a bar.

He's gonna have alot of sorrows to drown come nov. 3rd.

[Libby2]

12. What a crock of shit

This has always been one of my complaints about him.

[tjdee]

13. BWHQHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saw that too, even the guests were like, what the hell are you talking about?

CLINTON always managed to stand up straight during debates...

If Bush were wearing a bulletproof vest, you can bet every single media outlet would have told us that over and over.

[underpants]

14. Why haven't we seen a "Help me debunk this e-mail" on this yet?

That has to be e-mail nonsense.

I thought his scowls illustrated his deep feelings on the issues-actually spouted by a W campaign staffer on Friday.

[are_we_united_yet]

15. Bullett proof vest

yeah ok.

[Shopaholic]

16. At least he has body armor--

that's more than some of the troops in Iraq have thanks to the BoyKing.

[are_we_united_yet]

20. Hadn't thought of that!

Support our troops! (So I can give more to Corporations)

[Cha]

23. EXCELLENT POINT!

Let's run with that!!

[belle]

29. ! ! ! hahahaha

[soothsayer]

17. I'll watch again, but I didn't notice it this time off the bat. He does

usually seem to be wearing one, paranoid little creep that he is.

[Kahuna]

19. So, the caller would prefer that the media point out what a wimp..

* is. Kerry wasn't wearing a vest. Now tell us again about what a tough guy * is. :puke:

[LiberalFighter]

41. What they need is a vest for gw*s face

[kentuck]

21. Jim Lehrer had a .357 magnum under his coat...

But you couldn't see it...so Bush was threatened and had to wear that bullet proof vest.....Gawd!

[Bongo Prophet]

25. Riiight. With an antenna on the back

Air cooling? Back massager? TENS device? Spare pack of cigs? Ahemmm...

[Shopaholic]

26. The receiver for his earpiece

maybe?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

33. Bush is actually growing a hump

where he stores all that water he's been sipping lately.

[TrustingDog]

45. reptilian backbone busting out of his human suit. n/t

[umtalal]

28. HAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

[Philostopher]

31. I think the paranoid little twit did have a vest on.

But as someone else pointed out, they're not that heavy anymore -- and the really vulnerable spot on an ordinary human being would be the head anyway. Now, I grant you Bush*'s head is his weak point, but still, it would have been awfully hard to hide a Kevlar football helmet, no?

[TrustingDog]

46. awww, poor baby, so the vest is too heavy....

try wearing it with 60+ other pounds of gear and running around in Iraq at 120 degree temperatures you friggen WUSS.

[GingerSnaps]

32. It's was to reflect the bullets that Kerry was going to shoot at him

Bush didn't understand that the bullets were words and not from a gun.

:silly:

[cheshire]

34. Bush is leaning on a bar always, the thing on his back is the tingler.

[DrBB]

35. Um, simple question then. Wouldn't Kerry have been wearing one too?

God what a nimrod.

[fortyfeetunder]

36. Heard it but she missed one little detail

Bushistas wanted the temperature on the stage to be on the hot side, and the Kerry handlers wanted it cooler. The Bushistas won.

The ploy obviously backfired, Bush couldn't take the heat he created, just like 9/11, failing to find Osama, fucking up Iraq, and so on...

Dubya, if you can't take the heat, get the hell out of the White House!

updated for clarification

[rullery]

37. The lump shown on Bush's back is a handle!

When Bush has Cheney or another handler with him, the handle is used to prop him up. However when he has to stand on his own, Bush will slump, just as any other wooden dummy does!

[Philostopher]

50. It's the key they wind him up with.

They just didn't wind him enough times to keep running right the whole 90 minutes.

[txindy]

38. I thought it was Dick Cheney or Karl Rove

I'm so glad that CSPAN caller set me straight. I'd hate to live in ignorance.
:crazy:

[Kadie]

39. It's hard work wearing a bullet proof vest.

everyone knows that.

[molly]

42. Her husband works in security

[leftofthedial]

43. it's hard work!

Hard work, I tell ya!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

44. Bush has been hunching over podiums his entire political career

In fact, I thought he did a bit better during the debates than his usual hunch and bob. Usually, he hunches way over the top of the podium and begins bobbing his head up and down to make a point. At his canned political appearances in front of select audiences, he will pan the entire audience 180 degrees while the bobbing of his head from his hunched torso goes on and on and on.

[Paradise]

47. Thanks, that is a good one! rofl :) nt

[Reciprocity]

48. When you no backbone it's difficult to stand up straight. n/t

[Captain Lance Bass]

49. Hunching is the first move

One makes when going into the fetal position.

[Hubert Flottz]

51. Why is the coward wearing a bullet proof vest when some poor

little lady soldier in Iraq still doesn't have one? John Kerry fought for liberty and poontang! George Bush was and is a poontang!

[peekaloo]

52. dang...I thought he had slung his colostomy bag over his shoulder

and once it started filling up he began to slump over.

:dunce:
