Bush's "unscripted" Q & A with a random audience = Pure B.S.

[Botany]

Funny after a NSC employee goes on Night Line and says that millions of phone calls
an e mails were spied on, bush suddenly does an "unscripted" Q. & A.?

The desk anchor @ CNN kept saying when they went to his talk and at
other times, "The President will take unscripted questions from the audience."
Why doesn't Rove sit down at the desk and read it himself? This was pure
propaganda and both the bush's answers and the "folk's unscripted questions"
were totally wooden.

Rove must have known that bush was tanking because CNN cut away from
the freak show and so did Fox. Any doubt that media is part and parcel
of the manipulation of the truth by bush & company should be put to rest.

1. It was pretty funny to listen to the announcers keep repeating

the word "unscripted". I was sure that any minute a new backdrop would have the words "Unscripted" in a repeating pattern.

4. It was like they were admitting that he has done scripted ones.

Ever see this exchange from one of bush's fake Q & A sessions?

SONYA STONE: I would like to introduce my mom. This is my mother, Rhoda Stone. And she is grandmother of three, and originally from Helsinki, Finland, and has been here over 40 years.
DUBYA: Fantastic. Same age as my mother.
SONYA STONE: Just turned 80.

2. One of the people asking softball questions was a Ken Moore

might not be the same guy but there's a Ken Moore signed up, from Paris, KY, on the GOP USA site. I notice his name is left off the transcript on the White house website

Maybe it's this guy from Kentucky

In Kentucky, Bush currently holds a 15-point lead over Kerry according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, and for voters such as construction field supervisor Ken Moore, Fox holds a lot more sway than the big three networks (NBC, ABC, CBS) and rival news channel CNN. “I don't give them a lot of credit,” said Moore. “I expect the standard of media to be truth,” he added, “and I don't see them doing that.” Along with Fox heavyweight commentator and frequent Canada-basher Bill O'Reilly, Moore said he supplements his viewing with Internet news sites.

8. I've delivered mail to him. Don't know anything about him.

Paris Ky is very divided by race and class. It's not a very happy place.

3. Give me a brake. You have to go into a cookie cutter to get in.

5. What's realyy embarassing as an American is

having a president that doesn't understand the concept of "connecting the dots", yet uses the phrase in a manner that imdicates he does. It was just gibberish. He's not good at analogies.

6. He doesn't understand freedom or liberty

yet he keeps referring to them.

7. Bush doesn't take unscripted questions...

I don't know why they would say that.

There's a reason why he doesn't hold press conferances, because things like these happened last week...

(not verbatum but close) "This economy getting better and will go into the future with a full head of steam."

(not verbatum but close) "If someone comes up to me and doesn't speak Texan I don't fault them for their culture."
