[G_Leo_Criley]

212. "new generation"

Possibly trying to conjure up images of * as JFK? From jfk's inaugural speech of January 20, 1961:

"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world." John F. Kennedy


As. if.


This whole "new generation" thing made me think: draft a'comin' soon.

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

11. says it will require Continued SACRIFICE

[tavalon]

220. What?

What is wrong with America? Why is this man still allowed to smirk on National TV?

[Bonobo]

9. He should be declared unfit for office.

He is clearly over the line. Drugged, mumbling, unclear, insane, belligerent, stupid, ...crazy as batshit...crazier in fact. He needs to be removed from office.

[shadowknows69]

18. Go shopping

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He should send every American a $100 gift card from Halliburton...

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

[rodeodance]

17. my gawd--our sacrifice is to go SHOPPING

[shadowknows69]

24. Why is Bush setting the agenda for the 110th congress?

96. you've got to be kidding.....good grief he's an embarrassment

[aquart]

30. that's an insult to robots everywhere....

[soup]

48. My sincere apologies to r2d2 and c3po and any others that I have

insulted by placing the droning slurrer in chief in their ranks.

[laruemtt]

60. apologies accepted ;=)

[displacedtexan]

31. He's not awake yet.

Smirking about "I believe we're going to win."

[KansDem]

217. So it's "Mission Accomplished!" then "I believe we're going to win"

What a difference 4 years make...

[soup]

39. I believe that we're going to win.

We're going to succeed...

just not nearly as fast as I wanted.

When I speak....................... uh .................. like right now for example

There is something so off - so wrong. His speech pattern is completely bizarre.

[rodeodance]

29. says neither side expects each other to compromise their principles

[deminks]

36. He doesn't have any principles, unless he meant 'principals'

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

32. "We're not succeeding nearly as fast as I wanted." (re: where else, Iraq)

MKJ

[rodeodance]

37. nothing new here folks-----full SURGE ahead

[displacedtexan]

46. "Nice Try"

to reporter who asked if he would ignore the Joint Chiefs.

Asshat.

[rodeodance]

47. did you catch the 'good try' --bush to Reporter-----hypothetical questions

he will not answer. He has the tony snow words now.

[Solly Mack]

42. Why is that war criminal still free?

Why is someone who has sanctioned the torture of people allowed to remain in office?

What is wrong with America? Is it OK to be a war criminal as long as it's an American war criminal?

I'm really getting fed up with the lack of accountability.(truthfully, I'm beyond fed up)

How disgraceful...just listening to the war criminal stumble over words.

Someone slap that man...America LOST in Iraq. If that's too painful for people to hear...fuck those people. How many more people have to die to sooth America's ego?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

43. Accused reporter of asking "DANGEROUS, hypothetical question." Then..."nice try"

Yikes! MKJ

[EnviroBat]

173. Oooo, the steely retort...

Had me shiverin' :scared:

[tavalon]

MKJ

[radfringe]

51. so what's the freaking mission, you moran!!!!???? n/t

[librechik]

52. pathetic--is he going to cry now?-- bizarre psychotic tics and mannerisms!

wow

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

53. Very painful to watch.

He's floundering so badly, repeating the same old crapola...

[soup]

70. Talk about terra.

This is one of the most frightening things I've ever watched.

His speech becomes suddenly animated and precise - then just as quickly drops to a droning slurring and stuttering monotone.

[Avalux]

54. No one's listening anymore Mr. Bush.

He lost the American public a long time ago; regurgitating the same old shit and putting a different label on it isn't going to work.

[Solly Mack]

55. Placating Americas ego is NOT a mission

America LOST. Get over it.

How many more have to die to maintain the lies?

You lost, Bush. YOU. You and your corrupt and criminal government.

[rodeodance]

56. kelly o'donnell asking if Rummy was wrong to want a smaller agile

force.

bush says he supported rummy on this.

HOWEVER......

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

57. LIstening intently to earpiece. Dear lord, this is really bad.

MKJ

[rodeodance]

58. 'will take a long time for Ideology of Liberty to take over Ideology of Hate"

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

65. " don't believe the most of American people want us to get out now."

[Avalux]

61. "Ideology of Liberty triumph over the ideology of Hate"

He's telling us this is just the beginning; we are NOT leaving Iraq and the fight will spread. PNAC plan still in play.

[Norquist Nemesis]

The local affiliates here are all carrying this crapfest. n/t

[rodeodance]

62. Ho HO----reporter---are you willing to follow a Path that the people do

not want?

YUP says the Pres.

[rodeodance]

67. HE wants "SUCCESS"---says he understands public opinion (BUT will

not listen)

[displacedtexan]

69. Let's finish every sentence with "Now, watch this drive."

It makes more sense that way.

[tavalon]

222. Yeah, about as much sense as anything in this Alice in Wonderland

administration.

[librechik]

63. teacher caught him without his book report, so he's making it up

squirming, eyerolling, uncomfortable body language indicating he wants to run away from the podium

[librechik]

74. says doesn't believe most Americans want us to leave! I guess he

really doesn't read the polls (or believe them as he says. Doesn't believe in evolution either. Or human rights. He's just a non-believer!)

[radfringe]

64. uhh-ohh question on the polls...

[shadowknows69]

68. over 50% want us out now

that's the number you used as a mandate asshat.

[radfringe]

76. and he lost the lost the popular vote in 2000 by how much and still called it a mandate n/t

[rodeodance]

83. he says the election told him that we should work together. whow whow

[Norquist Nemesis]

92. Sure. Then he got a translation from Grover Norquist

to remind of the definition of "bi-partisan" means. He's courting the Democrats all right...with intention of date rape!

[Solly Mack]

66. What fucking credibility? America has no credibility to hurt

America is a war crime nation and Bush is a war criminal

[shadowknows69]

what kind of bullshit softball question was that?

NY times sent a shill over?

[Solly Mack]

80. I know...must have

[TheCowsCameHome]

72. Next time send Barney to address us.

He has more brains in his tail that you ever dreamed of.

[Radio_Lady]

168. LOL. Thanks for the big smile in the midst of this bumbling fool's speech.

[rodeodance]

75. says the american people UNderstand the consequences of withdrawing

quickly.

nope folks he will NOT standdown

[Norquist Nemesis]

I guess that means only 21% are American

The rest of us are something else. :banghead:

[tavalon]

224. Yes,

traitors I believe is what his team likes to call us. That and terrorists. Love that spirit of hatefulness, er, bipartisanship. What an asshat!

[tavalon]

223. I didn't actually watch it

but I'm guessing the word was actually "unnerstan". I wish his stupidity was just a matter of a heavy Texas accent, but no luck. He's stupid to the bone.

[deminks]

77. The election means the people want to see Dems working together, to achieve his goals

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

85. I caught that a couple of times, his interpretation of the elections

living life well in his alternate universe.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

78. "the sacrifice has been worth it"

MKJ

[soup]

79. His heart breaks every night. That's pain.

But (on the upside) the sacrifice has been worth it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

87. And the hearts of families of dead soldiers break every second.

Unlike your heart of stone.

[calimary]

196. Even so, he still sleeps well. Every night.

How nice for him.

[SOS]

197. And after his heartbreak

he swallows a handful of Ambien and sleeps "better than people assume".

[librechik]

81. Bush has a heart? Now watch this drive!

[displacedtexan]

84. Good one!

[pdxmom]

82. He reads about all those dead soldiers and then he goes shopping

and feels better.

[shadowknows69]

89. Where did we cut the defecit in half?

Did I miss a memo?

[radfringe]

99. "Did I miss a memo?" - you must have been shopping when it was issued

[rodeodance]

90. batteries. lots of talk of efficient batteries. and fuel from Corn

[tavalon]

226. Did he mention the switchgrass?

That boy loves him some switchgrass!:eyes:

[tavalon]

225. Actually, we're the ones who are supposed to go shopping

He goes golfing. Now, watch this drive! Asshat, that creature is an asshat!

[G_Leo_Criley]

88. "my decisions...

have caused young men and young women to lose their lives."

[shadowknows69]

91. I thought it was the Iraqis fault for not standing up

or our fault for hating the war.

[Binka]

93. Switch Grass! HE HAS TOTALLY GONE APESHIT CRAZY!

[G_Leo_Criley]

98. switch grass... yeah...

that's the ticket. Switch grass I tell ya.

[soup]

112. I need to go shopping, anyway. Just add it to the list.

[Wednesdays]

94. "We need to get off oil to become a competetive economy..."

"...and I have a plan that will take effect as early as the year 2159."

[Norquist Nemesis]

105. "to become a competitive economy"

NEWSFLASH!!! Bush says U.S. economy is not competitive

[bullwinkle428]

114. Someone needs to ask the jackass why he keeps lowering

CAFE standards for vehicles!! :grr:

[trogdor]

192. Yeah.

Some drunk in Montana will invent warp drive.

[TheCowsCameHome]

95. Let's talk about battery powered cars while we're at it

Since you aren't making sense about anything anyway.

[shadowknows69]

101. If we're so close to being free of foreign oil

why do we need to keep the terrorists from controlling it again?

[tavalon]

227. Actually

I heard on NPR that they have developed a "new paradigm" battery and are planning on doing a fully electric SUV in the near future. This, of course, will be sabotaged by the asshat and his stupid administration but I found it interesting and yet, oddly disturbing that they would focus on making an SUV. What exactly is so wrong with the American penis that we need to compensate so?

[deminks]

100. Got wood? (chips)

How much wood did the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?
That was hard to type.

[librechik]

102. Yippie! somebody found his book report and put it in the teleprompter!

Bush is saved! Fuel and free trade, yeah that was it!

[rodeodance]

103. Free Trade is good for Development----help other countries

[rodeodance]

106. Scotter question----eeks--bush said he read it in the paper today "Interesting"

[NJCher]

189. Have You Noticed that Everything's Interesting to bush?

New Congress coming in: it's going to be "interesting."

He had a meeting. It was "interesting."

A reporter asks him a question. "That's an interesting question."

Effing jerk.



Cher

[Jacobin]

215. No, no. no. It's "innerstin"

[tavalon]

228. I suspect that he pronounced that "innerestin" but whatever

He is incurious George. Nothing is interesting to him except maybe his next fix.

[AspenRose]

194. I thought he didn't read the paper

Liar....

[partylessinOhio]

107. He's getting much worse at 28 minutes in. Does anyone else expect him

to fall over at any time?

Now he says he's getting old, repeat the question "a little louder."

[G_Leo_Criley]

115. yes...

lotta tension in that room.

seems like more than usual to these ears.

glc

[librechik]

108. see free trade is trade where people are free. get it? Freedom agenda.

[Pierzin]

109. Bush is the biggest liar Ever!!!!

He talks about energy conservation, yet doesn't do anything about it.

Please God, can't we just impeach the whole cabal and get a new president, have a new cabinet, since they are all freaking War Criminals???!!!!

How can the rest of the world ever admire us again after we have allowed him to remain in office, he has set us back 900 years!!(habeus corpus)

[deminks]

110. Louder, please, he can't hear over KKKarl in his ear.

[rodeodance]

111. "Mary is having a baby"--says a reporter. whow--Bush blew that one.

[rodeodance]

117. bush talked out of two sides of his mouth on this one-then he 'jokenly" said

He would not call on her again----he smirked at his own comments.

[Binka]

He Blew CHUNKS

Then he completely dismissed the woman telling her he would not be calling on her ever again. Like he was five! Jesus he lost it BIG TIME.

[Avalux]

113. Q: Mary's having a baby! Will you support legal rights for same sex couples?

"I've always said they ought to review law to make sure people are treated fairly. This is a personal issue for the Cheney's. I know Mary and I like her and I know she's going to be a fine loving mother."

[bullwinkle428]

121. "Review law...treated fairly"??? Thanks for that one, Captain Obfuscation!

[rodeodance]

124. what a barfy response. He is going downhill as this conf. goes on.

[radfringe]

116. somebody is warming up off-stage

[PRETZEL]

118. Have only been watching for a minute or 2 but

does this ass really give a shit anymore.

[pdxmom]

119. Anyone else notice how he suddenly "reads" everything? He read

it in the paper or he read a report. Suddenly, he longer has "heard" about it. No one has told him about things. He's "reading" about it.

LIAR!!!

[Solly Mack]

120. This is beyond sad. That man has slipped off the edge

and is taking us down with him

[rodeodance]

165. He likes to Lecture people---not talk WITH them but TO them.

[capi888]

122. Unemployment down ....tell that to Michigan

What is the actual count, for all who fell off the unemployment count....15--20 % Oh yeah, manufacturing burgers and tacos have gone up...in Michigan. what a ignorant a**hole.

[wicket]

126. I saw an article the other day that said Michigan's unemployment levels...

[capi888]

147. Indeed they are....

My business is suffering as is many in Michigan.....1929 levels here...forclosures up the ying yang...businesses going under...I am going out next year...can't make it...I am crying after all the $$ and work I have put into my business. Its not just me, its the whole state.

[Lasher]

198. You must be mistaken.

The tax cuts is a-workin'. I know it's true, I see it on the teevee all the time.

[faithnotgreed]

213. i am so sorry capi888. we truly have to lift each other up whenever possible

and as you say there are so many out there just like you. working hard yet still struggling or even worse.

i just wanted to let you know you are cared about and we send you and your family a big hug. it isnt much but its sincere.

this should not be happening.

[Avalux]

123. Bwaahaahaa!

"The leader of Iran is willing to say things that really hurts his people". Pot, meet kettle. :eyes:

[myrna minx]

127. What the hell is a "Saddamist"?! n/t

[tavalon]

229. Is that like a Sodomite?

That man is so stupid, it hurts my brain.

[elehhhhna]

204. Oh yes he got 4 full syllables out of it. Hez-za-buhll-ah.

[tavalon]

[SammyWinstonJack]

201. ROFL!

:spray: :rofl: :rofl:

[Avalux]

130. LOL! New word!!

[librechik]

128. Ahmadinejad:" I'm rubber, you're glue..."

Iran's leader says things that don't help his people!

:rofl:

[EnviroBat]

131. I can not stand to listen to this asshole anymore.

I watched it for 15 min. Mr. Bush, you are a failure. It is clear that you have no intention of ever following the will of the people you claim to govern. Get the fuck out of our house...

[Norquist Nemesis]

140. It's much more fun to turn it off

and watch the thread.

:)

[calimary]

200. Yeah, we had it on here. I was asleep. Woke up. Husband said

"eaahhh, it's just bush, lying again." Then he turned it off, rolled over, and went back to sleep.

[elehhhhna]

132. "nooshpapersh"

[tavalon]

231. He's probably been diving into Pickle's Xanax bottle again!

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

136. HO HO. What lessons Will you take into this Review phase asks a

Reporter.

[rodeodance]

139. sectarian violence-------We have to consider this says Bush.

[myrna minx]

146. Some are "Saddamists" too.

Whatever the hell THAT means. :crazy:

[soup]

141. Thank you. I thought it was me.

I can only take so much then all I hear is gibberish.

[Solly Mack]

142. I keep hoping some reporter will make him cry

He seems so close to either tears or an angry outburst...

[deminks]

Angst? Angst? He doesn't remember the leak. He has lost his mind.

[G_Leo_Criley]

145. completely...

hadley memo? leaked? "don't recall..."

[Norquist Nemesis]

150. No. It was gone before he moved in to the WH. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

138. What's Amazing Is If You Take Off Your Idealogue Hat You Have To "Marvel" At What A Failure This

Administration Has Been.


Has there been a more incompetent administration in history?



Grant (at least he was well intentioned)

Harding

Nixon

[ShortnFiery]

167. Nope!

I apologized to my 13 y.o. that THIS man is absolutely the worst President in the history of America. Without a doubt! Even if you considered ONLY the damage that he has done to America's reputation and standing within the world. He's an abject failure. :(

143. The voters wanted "bi-partisanship"...

by his interpretation, the Congress should work with him in a "bi-partisan" way to create an even bigger disaster in Iraq. It never occurred to him that he might have to work with Congress??

[rodeodance]

151. yuup----you got his translation Right on.

[Norquist Nemesis]

152. He'll be screaming "obstructionists!" by January 4th!

[spanone]

166. I laughed out loud at that one. He will NEVER 'get it'. Too fucking stupid.

[tavalon]

232. No, actually we wanted the Republics out of our government

[EnviroBat]

148. And what's with the complete softball shit questions from the press.

God won't somebody please drill the shit out of him? I'd love to be a retiring journalist with the ability to confront him on my way out. The toughtest question I heard was the one about the will of the American people, and the CBS poll. Chimp doesn't give a rats ass what this country wants.

[deminks]

153. I think they are truly afraid of a melt down in front of the world.

That would not be good for bidnez.

[calimary]

202. Are you kidding? It'd be GREAT for the news business.

24/7 coverage, screaming headlines, An American Tragedy! Cue the hastily-crafted theme music! Get the visuals on! Everyone would be glued to their TVs. Hell, they'd be hauling out Dr. Joyce Brothers, even.

Shit, I'm surprised there aren't a few people in the press corps trying to provoke something. I'll bet a few of them are on some sort of "implosion watch." There are always a few. My supervisor used to send me out to cover Bob Hope WHENEVER he scheduled even so much as a fart in public, even after he was so old, deaf, and incoherent that you came away with no useable tape. Heaven forbid we not be there when he croaked. It's why when Zsa Zsa Gabor slapped that cop, everybody clung to her like velcro. Her every eyelash-batting was not to be missed, for fear she'd say something really horrendous or she'd implode or something and we'd miss it. There are ghouls galore in the media, just on general principles. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are circling at this very moment.

[deminks]

205. If GE or Viacom were truly in the 'news' business, but

news does not make them real money. War makes them real money. And a Smirky meltdown in front of the world would be bad for war mongering. Thus, the softball questions. Otherwise, the 'newspeople' would have hung the Chimp up to dry by now. The 'news' with the Chimp is not their intent. IMHO.

[Norquist Nemesis]

158. They must be down to the Q's handed out personally by Karl

as they entered the room.

[rodeodance]

159. talking of all the good things He did in a bipartison way-i.e. the Energy

bill, the tax cuts, Nclb. ect ect

[doublethink]

177. This nightmare can't end soon enough ...... can it?

[spanone]

157. America is tired of your rhetorical bullshit mr. bush*

Bush* tells the Iranians they could 'do better' than their leadership.

So could America you fucking idiot.

[Wednesdays]

161. Notice how he always interrupts the questioner

before he/she finishes the question? I remember how Clinton would let the questioner finish, then give a moment of thought before answering.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

162. When bullshit fails resort to gibberish.

He has certainly proved Mencken right..

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” - H.L. Mencken

[EnviroBat]

163. No no, Mr. Bush. The election wasn't about us wanting more bi-partisanship.

you nutless nitwit. The recent election was a referendum on this moronic war. The people aren't supporting you anymore, you anal-dwelling buttmonkey...

[ShortnFiery]

172. And BTW, it's "democratIC" leaders/leadership not "Democrat" ...

you partisan, mean spirited man! Work together? BS. It must all be your way or no way. :grr:

[librechik]

169. No, Bush, less than 5% of the Swift arrests had stolen identities

Lie lie lies--he can't speak without lying.

[librechik]

210. BTW, Bush said ALL of the arrests were of people with stolen ids.

lying moron

[rodeodance]

171. nothing about gettting our to Iraq

174. Merry Christmas?

[Wednesdays]

179. Even more so regarding his question...

The guy seems to be fawning over *.

[spanone]

175. This fucker is staying the course. There is not a shred of evidence otherwise.

He basically said fuck Jim Baker, I ain't talking to no one unless it's on MY terms.

[Avalux]

185. Yep - we're staying in Iraq.

Of course I didn't expect anything else from this psychopath; he wants to WIN so he can go down in history as the bestest president EVER!!!111!!! x(

[Lasher]

195. Vintage Dubya

Everything has to be his own idea.

[Bonobo]

178. Did he just refer to himself in 3rd person as "43"!?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

180. the lame duck is going to sprint to the finish!

[librechik]

184. Deathly silence as he chuckles and wishes them all a happy Xmas!

especially the ones lucky enough to be in Crawford!

press corpse looks sad.

[loveandlight]

187. what was that about???

Nothing new or interesting in that presser. What is the point? Is there something happening somewhere else that they are trying to keep our attention from??

[spanone]

190. To let us, the little people, know just how 'engaged' he is. Bwhahahahahaha

You know, we sthe people he couldn't give a shit about, us, me, you, the American public. The shitheads who oppose his policies, the enemy.

[Rob H.]

193. Caught the last minute of his speech, complete with WTF? moment

"We've proved that we can keep taxes low... and still reduce the deficit."

Newsflash, monkeyboy: The deficit is higher now than it has ever been. That statement alone is proof positive that you have lost your fucking mind.

[Bobbie Jo]

207. Summary....

I didn't catch it past the first 60 seconds, but let me take a stab at it:

Victory in Iraq..blah, blah, blah..We must win..blah, blah, blah..Until Iraq can govern itself, sustain itself, defend itself..blah, blah..War on Terra, etc.., Defeat the enemy...yadda, yadda..radical extremists, blah, blah..embolden, foment, keep our country safe, finish the job, work with congress, bi-partician,...drool, sniff..the way forward, strong economy (insert bogus economic/unemployment figures here)..immigration reform..blah, blah, blah. and yeah...It's hard work.

Did I miss anything that would be considered NEW or DIFFERENT? :eyes:


....going back to read the rest of the thread just to make sure.

[Pachamama]

208. Am I the only who threw something at the TV/Radio & screamed? I was so disgusted listening to the

rantings of this lunatic, I screamed, picked up the phone and called both my Senators' offices, my Congresswoman and Speaker of the House Pelosi's office (even making my kids late for school this morning because I thought it was such an outrageous speech and so important to make those calls).

The man is certifiably insane, crazy, whacko, out of touch etc. This lunatic needs to be stopped. He needs to be investigated, indicted, impeached - NOW!

I gave that message very, very clearly to my Representatives office. I said that it is their constitutional duty. I said no more money for this war and no more troops. We need to get our troops out as fast as possible and we need to stop this lunatic.

I just couldn't believe my ears as I listened to that lunatic this morning. Our country is being led by an absolute insane person. Be afraid.

[newportdadde]

211. Did he actually tell people to go shopping during this?

[DemReadingDU]

214. Yep!

I heard him on the radio.
