A clever reporter just asked Scottie a wonderful question:

[Coexist]

"is there something missing from the L.A. bombing story? The President said that someone was going to hijack a plane with a shoe bomb to fly it into a building. A shoe bomb implies that he would blow up the plane. How would he fly it into the building then?"

Holy Cow! How did we miss that one?/

Scotty had no answer, he spun about the President laying out all the facts or something. She tried again, and he totally ducked it.

Great job, whomever you are!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. What? We have a reporter who thinks

and doesn't just spout the company line? This was great! It wasn't Helen Thomas, was it?

[Coexist]

5. No - Helen asked her standart Iraq war question today

I have no idea who the woman was. Maybe it will be up at c-span.org soon.

[liveoaktx]

63. VIDEO compile of the questions about Bush's Terror Terror O Day

Most of Scotty cut out because it's bullshit propaganda

[EVDebs]

64. You mean Bush ISN'T our Savior ?

Bubbles are bursting everywhere !

[gimama]

2. Alexis ? of National Journal

They're the publication that broke the story, 'Scooter says"vp made me do it" ;} Which also came up,from someone on the front row. Sweeeet! Send some eLove to Helen, Y'All!

[annabanana]

13. Yup that was her... brava!. . . . eom

[tridim]

3. The honest answer would be, "We made it up. Next question."

The dam is bursting all over the place today. They're getting real sloppy with their lies.

[Coexist]

7. LOL! That was funny

I can actually see him saying that.

[grace0418]

49. It won't be long before that's EXACTLY what they'll say. They are so

fucking blatant with their lies and corruption and they get away with it. I swear, some people are so stupid if BushCo said "Yeah, we made that up to scare you all into doing what we say" Faux News would would have the headline BUSH IS UPFRONT AND HONEST!

[katty]

4. brain teaser for scott..he'll have to leave the podium

[KittyWampus]

39. Brain teaser!

:rofl:

[patdem]

6. I guess he would say...either you die from a shoe bomb or from

crashing into a building, then in the background you hear tick...tock...tick....tock....tick..tock..til they make their decision? You know like the old show '
Beat the Clock'?

[gkhouston]

10. and the pilot would choose to fly over the ocean or some empty

place in the desert and tell the guy to go ahead and blow up the plane. :eyes: Scotty... tell KKKarl he needs to stop thinking about plea bargains and concentrate on stategery.

[Oilwellian]

18. Or...

the Jeopardy theme song would have been appropriate too. :D

[patdem]

21. Maybe it was Jeopardy I was thinking of...the final round?

I can just hear the tick tock...when that nasty old shoe bomber demands they make the decision...of course he is resonable, and awaits their decision! Any old Scottie would know THAT!

[stop the bleeding]

8. I heard it as well and about fell out of my chair, to think that a

reporter would actually question what the WH says, maybe she didn't get her Rove talking points.

thanks for posting

[sandnsea]

9. MSNBC just reported it

And that Scotty didn't have an answer. hehehe

[stop the bleeding]

11. WOW - MSM reported this slip up - could this one reporter totally

blow the WH's press briefing out of the water - let's hope so:wow::wow::wow:





this thread deserves a nomination!

[Coexist]

12. get out! Did they really?!

heee heee heee!

[fooj]

23. Wow! That's amazing.

Peace.

[helderheid]

25. COOL!

[Bethany Rockafella]

47. I'll bet it'll get a mention on Olbermann tonight!

[redqueen]

57. No way!

That's fantastic! :D

[mattclearing]

14. Waiting for the white house transcript...

This should be interesting.

[Coexist]

16. just checked - not up yet - no video at cpan.org yet either

I did call in to Randi and gave whomever answered the phone a heads up to look for it.

[Pithy Cherub]

15. That reporter gets an A today.

May the miscues and misstatements continue as they spin themselves into the dirt trying to find blue sky!

:popcorn:

[Coexist]

17. Randi just played the clip of Bush saying exactly that!

they totally debunked it. Nice work.

[Stephanie]

19. That's the first thing I thought of.

How on earth would that work? Shoe bombs to blow up the cockpit door? Then what? You just exploded yourself and the cockpit.

[Coexist]

20. this calls to mind the mental image of that man,

sweating, and trying desperately to light his shoe and the passengers stopping him because he couldn't get it lit!

[fooj]

22. You mean to tell me that the assholes didn't use this politically

for the 2004 election? Bullshit. What HAVEN'T they used to their advantage?

Peace.

[farmbo]

29. Ding! Ding! Ding!!! We have a winner!

They foiled a fake Columbus "Mall Bombing" and it was front page news for six months leading up to the election.

Tell me Rove wouldn't have used this to scare to bring out his Bedwetter vote.

[fooj]

32. 5 stars!!!

How stupid do they think we are?

Peace.

[Coexist]

34. "bedwetter vote"

giggle... giggle... snort!... chuckle...

Ah... too much.

[Pachamama]

61. Unfortunately, 51% of this country is that stupid to believe this BS!

Which is why we as a nation are in such a dangerous time...its because of stupid people, incapable of critical thought and asking questions....they are lemmons who would follow their leader and anything he says over a cliff....

:banghead:

[farmbo]

24. "Crash this plane into that skyscraper, Infidel...Or I'll blow up my foot"

:bounce:

LOL!!!

[helderheid]

27. Oh my God don't make me laugh like that! I've got a cold and it turned

into a coughing fit!! :spray: :rofl:

[Coexist]

28. Oh - my - Democrats are just so darn funny

My kids remark on how there are no funny Republicans.

Aren't we special?!

[Coexist]

30. BTW - did you notice I "borrowed" your beautiful avatar?

thanks, helderheid.

[helderheid]

36. you betcha!

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

65. LOL!!!!!!!

37. Great song. Swamp Rat....

[Coexist]

38. ditto!

:thumbsup:

[Wheezy]

44. Isn't it 'washed', not 'watched'? I've had it wrong all these years?

Thanks for the song and dance!

[Swamp Rat]

50. I changed it to lyrics from another website.

I don't know who has the correct version, but you are right about the "washed" in one part.

31. This lady is pretty sharp...I happened to be watching the news conference

today.

[Freddie Stubbs]

33. the shoe bomb would be used to blow up the reinforced cockpit door

WASHINGTON - President Bush gave new details on Thursday about a purported 2002 terrorist plan to use shoe bombs to blow open the cockpit door of a commercial jetliner, take control of the plane and crash it into a building in Los Angeles.

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/13828457.htm

[Coexist]

35. Yes, he could apply gum to the sole of the shoe bomb

then light it in front of everyone? Last time someone tried a shoe bomb, they couldn't light it and the passengers stopped him.

Remember the "sticky bomb" in Saving Private Ryan?

[MadMaddie]

40. Ummm..2002?

Why so long ago. Why not a more recent event? I mean haven't they been screaming lately that we are not safe? That the terrarist are going to hit us. Why not show an a recent event to prove their point?

Could it be that their spying efforts on Americans are preventing them from actually finding the real terrarist?

[Stephanie]

42. That's the funniest lede I've ever read

:rofl: Those dang terra-ists! Man, are they clever!

[suffragette]

41. They aren't getting a pass by trotting out the fear today

Between this reporter's smart question and the LA mayor noting that he wasn't informed, they aren't getting the free pass they're accustomed to whenever they blow the Terra horn.

And that is great news.

[Pharaoh]

43. mc moon dipshit....

[chat_noir]

45. FLDem5 for the post, and Alexis for the question

[Coexist]

48. Cool!

Where'd ya get those awesome smilies?

[stickdog]

53. Bad Republican screenwriters strike again!

The plot holes are big enough to fly a 747 through.

[Synnical]

54. Transcript is finally up

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/02/20060209-7.html

Q Scott, I wanted to just ask a follow-up about the LA plot. Is there something missing from this story, a practical application, a few facts? Because if you want to commandeer a plane and fly it into a tower, if you used shoe bombs, wouldn't you blow off the cockpit? Or is there something missing from this story?

MR. McCLELLAN: I don't know what you're referring to about missing. I mean, I think we provided you a detailed briefing earlier today about the plot. And Fran Townsend, our Homeland Security Advisor, talked about it. So I'm not sure what you're suggesting it.

Q Think about it, if you're wearing shoe bombs, you either blow off your feet or you blow off the front of the airplane.

MR. McCLELLAN: There was a briefing for you earlier today. I think that's one way to look at it. There are a lot of ways to look at it, and she explained it earlier today, Alexis, so I would refer you very much back to what she said, what she said earlier today.

Sarah, go ahead.

Q Thank you. Is the President considering canceling his visit to Pakistan because of the Muslims civic riots over the cartoons?

MR. McCLELLAN: I think the President expressed our views yesterday. I've been expressing them as well, prior to that, regarding the cartoon controversy. The President looks forward to going to India. He looks forward to going to Pakistan. We are making arrangements for that trip, and that will be in a few weeks.

Q Thank you.

MR. McCLELLAN: Thank you.

END 3:24 P.M. EST

[phylny]

58. You know, I wish that the White House Press Corp would start

responding when Scottie insists on using "suggesting."

Scottie: "So I'm not sure what you're suggesting."

Reporter: "Why would you say suggesting? I'm asking you a question."

Reporter: "I'm not suggesting anything, I'm asking a question."

Reporter: "Again, I'll ask the question - it was not a suggestion."

Some variation of this to make Scottie knock it off, making it sound like reporters are pulling stuff out of their asses.

[Coexist]

59. Wouldn't it be nice

David Gregory usually doesn't take Scottie's guff - but the rest do.

[Sparkly]

62. "There are a lot of ways to look at it..."

Is there a way to look at it so it make sense?!? :rofl:

[Dunvegan]

55. Somebody in the White House Wurlitzer...

...wrote a lying check with their mouth that Scotty McDoughboy's azz can't cover.

And that would have to be a very big, very dumb lie indeed. :rofl: :rofl:

[redqueen]

56. I hope someone finds out who asked...

I'd like to thank her personally.

We need more like her!

[Historic NY]

60. Shoe bomb to blow up cockpit door..........

how about the bombers foot........can't fly too well w/o shoes or toes.

[No Exit]

66. WOW! We must find out who that reporter was! She deserves kudos!!
