[trotsky]

4. With the typical Freep knee-jerk reaction.

"Waaah! Our prezident looks stupid - it's the damn LIBERAL MEDIA again!"

[Sydnie]

5. bwaahahahahahahahahahaha

thanks! :rofl:

[Joanne98]

6. I love youtube......

:rofl:

[Aviation Pro]

8. Hey Herr Blitzkrieg....

...we know what happened you sycophant. We don't need an explanation from you, you freak.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. Dimson, the named he has earned honestly. Probably the ONLY thing he has

ever earned honestly.

[onehandle]

10. Wolf looked nervous about the error.

He thinks it may affect his check from the RNC.

[Scout1071]

22. I agree. I thought he looked nervous as well! nt

[magellan]

11. Well, if he can listen in on them

...I guess they figure they can listen in on him. lmao, thanks!

[crikkett]

17. it's democratic, after all n/t

[stevedeshazer]

12. BWAHAHAHA

They can't do ANYTHING right.

[Rainscents]

13. He is so fucking stupid!!!

[Patsy Stone]

14. I love when these things happen

accidentally...

[Greybnk48]

15. Joanne98 you are worth your weight in gold!! lol

thanks. sending this around.

[DesertRat]

16. Shifty eyed bastard

[emulatorloo]

18. kick and nominating n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

19. What a pathetic little man.

So totally out of his element.

I keep going back and forth as to whether he's evil or stupid. After watching this I'm back to the notion that the Leader of the Free World is dumb as a post.

[lolly]

40. Evil or stupid?

A false dilemma, cowgirl.

He is, of course, both.

And what was with those eyes? Did he lose his place? Did he realize they were videotaping, and have a snit fit?

[bklyncowgirl]

67. I think he realized he was live and didn't know what to do.

A more intelligent man in his position would have found some way to cover this either by striking a "presidential" pose or smiling at the camera but Bush had a momentary "Oh God what do I do now" moment and it showed.

I agree with you by the way that Bush is both a nasty piece of work and a man of limited intelligence and imagination.

[driver8]

20. I ALMOST feel sorry for the douche bag...

but I don't.

There he is, ladies and gentlemen...the leader of the free world.

[Supersedeas]

33. Sad, but nah

[NobleCynic]

21. I hate to say it

But what is the big deal? It doesn't show him in a negative or positive light. It's just a network screw up. It wasn't Bush's fault.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. yep...I said it was a letdown on another thread

this is grasping at straws

the shifty-eyed bit is the only thing in it. it's only a few seconds

not much to get excited over. makes us look silly, IMO

now HERE's something to enjoy; the hula jaw in action, courtesy of Harry Shearer:

[NJCher]

58. the hula jaw is amazing

It's a nervous gesture he does--but interesting, how he picked this up and repeats it.

I love it at the end on that one how he does the bouncy-bounce thing!

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Yeah I was thinking that too

Are we so focused on the man that even an innocent video clip like this is enough to slam him? And you are right, it wasn't even his fault.

[951-Riverside]

61. I agree with proud2Blib

We should have more respect for our President he just sent our boys off to fight for the cause of freedom in iraq and I'm sure he's wrestling with the decision every day the least we can say is Thank You.

Is it that hard?

proud2Blib Thanks for opening my eyes about the pure evil hate on the left for our God fearing President.

*snort* *snort* *ahem*

[proud2BlibKansan]

70. go back and watch the clip

el pretzeldente, as stupendously stupid as he is, did not make this mistake. CNN did. I am sure there are similar clips of Clinton before his speeches.

It just strikes me as beyond petty to add this to the list of things we criticize the prez for. That list is long enough.

[tuvor]

23. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

[Bushies gotta go]

24. it wasn't a rehearsal, his telprompter died and he was lost

But I was ROTFLMAO

[wake.up.america]

51. So, are you saying it was not a rehearsal? Bush lost his way and ...

it was started over? Bush's speech was not live? There was delay built in for such occurrences?

[Bushies gotta go]

68. That's how it looked to me,

On ABC, the speech was started and you could see he began looking for the other prompters to see if they were still working. ABC news cut in and took over without making a comment about it. The look on his face was somewhere between lost, ready to cry and anger.

[originalpckelly]

25. OMG!!! I am dying in laughter, OMG!!!

It is as if Hitler had done something like that. Dumbshit looked so confused!!!!!!

[Karenca]

27. What happened to his two front teeth? Where are they? .. n/t

[file83]

28. CNN just doing a little "spying" of their own on the President...

:rofl:

Whoops! Caught you with your pants down!!

:rofl:

[godhatesrepublicans]

29. I always assumed his handlers used Scooby Snacks to teach him his lines.

[SeattleGirl]

30. Pretzeldent DumbAss in all his glory!

What the hell was he looking at, with his eyes going back and forth like that? It actually reminds me of that segment in Fahrenheit 9/11 when he was getting ready to tell us about Iraq.

[petgoat]

37. What was he looking at? Yeah, it looked like he forgot

where the teleprompter was. Or distracted by voices in his head?

[hwmnbn]

32. Thanks, I asked for this on another thread ......

but you had it here. :thumbsup:

[Gman]

34. Why is this on the Greatest list?

It has nothing to do with Jason Leopold or Will Pitt!

[Botany]

36. Opps!

"Did I hit that switch to send out this feed live? Damn me bad."

I think * got punked.

BTW is he shrinking?

[petgoat]

38. "Help I'm melting! Me-elting!" nt

[electron_blue]

39. bless you!

for all us who missed it.

[Ammonium]

41. Owned.

[tandot]

42. What an utter fool. I am so embarrassed to have a President like that

[peekaloo]

43. wahhhhhh......my laptop is dying a slow death and I can't play the video.

:cry:


but I did manage to suffer through his speechifying. The hand gesture at the beginning made me larf, as did the "lawful nation" bit.

[Lost-in-FL]

44. DAMMIT I WANT TO WATCH THE VIDEO!!

And it is not available!!!!! }( :mad: :argh: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Sparkly]

48. It's also at crooks and liars... nt

[Lost-in-FL]

55. Thank you!!!

[polemic_realism]

45. if you don't see the signifcance of this..

then you don't understand the power of imagery in today's society. It is all spectacle, all the way from Janet Jackson's bare breast to the Dutch cartoons. Any possible revolution will be the result of detournment from inside the media machine, and the fact that this kind of feed made it to the airwaves is evidence of the real power is sometimes held by the cameramen and switch-flippers.

[faithnotgreed]

46. welcome to du polemic realism

were glad youre here

it is indeed just one long continuous loop of spectacle

[wake.up.america]

50. Yes, and that's because we allow form to detract from substance.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

53. the power of accidents.

see how desperate we've become?

welcome btw.

[expatriot]

60. only if the glimpse behind the curtain shows the unexpected...

this early break to the President showed the expected. Bush rehearsing his upcoming speech. If it would have showed him eating his boogers or being yelled at by Rove for not putting enough emotion in a rehearsed line, then we'd have something. this only reinforces what was to be expected.

[progressivebydesign]

47. Damn.. YouTube is undergoing maintenance right now!

I'm gonna look around somewhere else for that video, now that you all have me jonesing for it.

[progressivebydesign]

49. Found another link to it here:

http://www.crooksandliars.com/

off to watch it!!

[wake.up.america]

52. Thank you.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

54. Thanks! I bet somebody at CNN pays for that one.

[jayctravis]

56. Heh! Bush's expression was so like -

"That camera had better not be on..."

They were doing sound check apparently and someone at CNN glanced up and went "oh shit!" and flipped the switch.

[upi402]

57. "DOH!" ~snarf~

:nopity:

[expatriot]

59. what's teh big deal here? this is NOT a Bush gaffe. In fact, if we try &

make this a "Bushism" moment, it will only serve the forces who say "the left" unfairly stretches to find Bush gaffes. Let's get over this guys. Fast.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

62. good for you CNN for once!

[neoblues]

63. That was "Priceless"...

$0.78 cents for a corrupt Republican Senator, $4,898,699,001.28 for an honest Republican, $19,95 for a shi_-proof umbrella (useful everyday as Republicans crap on America)... all these can be purchased with your Visa®, but...



is priceless!

[leftofthedial]

64. this is the kind of thing I don't really hold against him

I hate the idiot retard degenerate inbred little fuck, but he may well have been doing a sound check for the broadcasters, not "rehearsing." Remember, Wolfie (who called it "rehearsing") is one of the few people in America who is actually stupider than king george.

[1776Forever]

65. does this need to be on the TOP of the homepage?

not that newsworthy, he's a dork, we know... karlmania is coming soon enough!!! :)

[Divine Discontent]

66. yawn......... there's a 100 better bush gaffes and this wasn't his doing

really, it's "cute" and all, but this isn't something DU should be saying is so SHOCKINGLY important it belongs on the front page at the top! we look, and I agree with others, SILLY making any read into this other than it being a snafu of mild to mid level proportions, yes yes, he's in free fall, and he didn't need this, and we LOVE they messed up and made him look a tiny bit silly, but he ALWAYS looks silly to me, and there was no shocking issue with this, goodness, i can't wait for the INDICTMENT of KKKARL ROVE to be announced and push this mildly amusing 'breaking news' announcement down the list as soon as possible...

I agree, let's not get DESPARATE guys n gals!! sheesh...
