1. WH link: Scotty covering up for Cheney

http://www.whitehouse.gov/#

[CottonBear]

4. "Secret Service was (supposed to) inform law enforcement."

Scotty "urged that info be made available to public."

"WH didn't have all of the details even by 3 or 4 in the morning on Sun...no additional info other than accident ...no info that Cheny shot anyone until 4 am Sun."

[FreedomAngel82]

15. They don't know anything!

And they had the nerve to say "the adults were in charge"?

[stop the bleeding]

2. listening now thank you n/t

[napi21]

3. Interesting questions about the shooting!

Report from the TX sheriff that they were prevented from speaiking to the VP by the SS!
Scotty said he knew nothing and you have to ask the SS!

Edit: THANK you to the anonymous donor for the HEART!

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Oh wow!

Why were they prevented to speaking to him? This is all so strange!

[Maru Kitteh]

51. If there are any responsible journalists left they will be locating that

sheriff for an extended interview. Isn't it illegal for them to interfere with an investigation by law enforcement of a possible crime?

[stop the bleeding]

5. they are tearing him up n/t

[napi21]

11. Sooo, it took from 5:30PM Sat until Sun AM to get info to the WH?

Geesh! No wonder the intelligence in this admin is so bad! Hell, they don't even speak to each other!!!!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

42. Don't they have

cell phones or text messaging or something? :crazy:

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. Just tuned in!

Hope they run the whole thing...if it gets too hot, or the questions switch to Bush they'll probably cut away.

[bagimin]

7. Press to Scotty...."Why

the coverup?"

[leftchick]

8. They are even showing it on CNN International!

omg... think of the folks around the world watching the scotty bake!

:rofl:

[CottonBear]

9. Y'all can join us in this thread already started:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=402683&mesg_id=402683

[RSchewe]

10. Scotty is getting "PEPPERED"... (I couldn't resist) n/t

[Roland99]

22. LOL

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Ooops! Scotty slipped and said "Kar... I mean

the President's Deputy Chief of Staff". Is Rove involved in EVERYTHING???

[FreedomAngel82]

43. What do you think?

Why do you think he's called "Bush's Brain"? It ain't for nothing!

[Wickerman]

13. Wish someone would ask him what type of license Cheney

had. This question was posted here yesterday. Did he have a non-resident's license or did he get a Texas resident license? We've always known the Wyoming bit was a travesty - let's see where he *really* believes he resides.

[FreedomAngel82]

44. Could he have one in both states?

[Wickerman]

48. He could have a resident license in Wyoming

but he couldn't legally have one in Texas and vice-a-versa. And, if he had a resident license in TX then he is lying at some level.

[AllegroRondo]

58. If he had a resident license in TX he cant be VP

President and VP cant be from the same state.

[Wickerman]

59. and that, my friend, is precisely the point n/t

[Solly Mack]

14. ooh...it's another fact gathering process

the chain of info going back to the whitehouse


this is the most clueless whitehouse ever - with all the technology available to them - illegal and legal - this whitehouse can't seem to get any sort of information in a timely fashion.(course, I think they're just a bunch of liars)

[chelsea0011]

21. One thing is perfectly clear. Cheney runs things.

He makes all the decisions about releasing info even to the pretender-in-charge. a civilian released the info to a newspaper of choice. Haul the VP into an interrogation room.

[Solly Mack]

33. Yeah - Dicky Crockett was in full control of the "incident"

and now Scotty is trying his best to explain away why Cheney got to control all info release

[Sydnie]

16. go David Gregory GO!

They have the "best intelligence in the world" but they don't know anything ever!

[Janice325]

17. Hoo boy!!!

Man, the reporters are really, really trying to go after widdle Scottie, and he's doing his usual bullshit dodge and weeve.
Now David Gregory is being his usual fantastic self!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

45. He and Helen Thomas are the best there!

:bounce:

[VolcanoJen]

18. This is PRICELESS

Man, David Gregory is really whipped and frothy this morning!

I'm loving this...

[Solly Mack]

19. It is great! I'm laughing like mad

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. oh god, my sides hurt already!

:rofl:

but then again, these are our leaders! :puke:

[VolcanoJen]

26. The thing is fishy and stinks to high-heaven

The WH Press Corps smells a rat... it's so clear.

Unbelievable that local reporters in Texas were told of the incident when it happened, yet the WH Press Corps was not informed until 24 hours later or so... and Scotty seems utterly unapologetic about it.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. So was it a set up or something?

:shrug:

[Solly Mack]

28. True! blech - even still LMAO

The looks on the faces of the Press after each answer from Scotty...incredulous!

[napi21]

23. Geesh, Scotty sounds like that old FedEx guy who talked so fast!

He talking so fast, I'm surprised his toung is still working!

[Solly Mack]

25. He's looking quite frustrated

hehehehehe

[underpants]

24. Whoops! Scottie is loosing his grip on Employee of the month

this is hilarious especially in that Scottie's story makes no sense what so ever.

[Janice325]

38. I love that image of David Gregory!!

"Man, David Gregory is really whipped and frothy this morning!"
That is truly priceless. Thanks.

[Sydnie]

27. the Vice President's office worked with her -er - the VP spoke with her

COVER UP!!!! They got their story straight first. I don't EVER want to hear about Chappaquiddick again!

[VolcanoJen]

29. Reporter: "This is reminscent of the Levies story."

This reporter is saying that the communication apparatus at the White House is clearly as screwed up now as it was after New Orleans.

Scotty, pissed: "I CLEARLY REJECT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT."

Reporter: "The Vice President SHOT A MAN. Don't you think that's news?"

[Sydnie]

30. Reminds the reports of the way info was shared about the levees

[chelsea0011]

31. "we can always look back" Scotty telling us how things can always

be done differently. The VP sjoots someone and the Pres. isn't immediately notified? LOL

[tishaLA]

34. Doesn't the CNN screen look great with those graphics?

I think they're the CNNI graphics, but I really like them. I think CNN should switch to them

[chelsea0011]

35. "new subject, new subject"

[VolcanoJen]

36. CNN and Fox cutting away.

:grr:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

39. white house link here...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

[VolcanoJen]

41. thank you thank you!!

Looks like he's moved on to other topics..? Calling on the foreign press corps now... heh...

[FreedomAngel82]

50. Well of course

[WinkyDink]

37. Well, that didn't take long.

[Whoa_Nelly]

40. Thought I heard Helen ask a question, & was told "That's absurd."

And then moved on. I thought I heard Helen called on to ask, and then was shamed by the Great & Powerful ScottieDog.

Am I mistaken?

Will all the questions and Scotty's responses be in the final draft of the gaggle at the WH link today?

The question re: the levees really got Scotty's back up. whooo

[FreedomAngel82]

52. Do you know what she asked?

[Whoa_Nelly]

54. No. Scotty went by that really fast and the question asked was not clearly

heard.

Am going to be checking the gaggle release online later today for sure. That was one helluva PC. Thought Scotty was going to start screaming with the way he was admonishing and rebuking. Looked like high blood pressure was kicking into gear.

[FearofFutility]

55. It wasn't Helen

They showed the woman who asked it. The questions was "Should Cheney resign?"

[Whoa_Nelly]

57. Thanks, FoF.

It was really a whirlwind of questions at that gaggle.

[Sydnie]

47. Les is beating a dead horse again

[Skidmore]

49. Is there a proctologist in the house?

[Sydnie]

53. Les is actually pissed the the AP didn't pick up the story

first time I have ever heard Les say anything that made any sense.

[ToolTex]

56. How can anyone talk that long and say nothing?
