Bush to hold press conference shortly
Opening statement will be about economyThe Associated Press
Updated: 9:41 a.m. ET May 31, 2005WASHINGTON - President Bush is keeping his second-term pledge to hold at least one full-blown news conference each month.

He was squeezing one in on Tuesday, the last day of May, starting at 10:45 a.m. ET. The White House said he would open with a statement declaring that the nation’s economy was strong and getting stronger.

The session in the Rose Garden would be Bush’s first full-scale news conference since April 28 when he held a prime-time meeting with reporters in the East Room.

[Stand and Fight]

11. Oh God, now he's pushing CAFTA...

He says Congress needs to pass this serious piece of legislation. :eyes:
On to more lies about Social Security now...

[peekaloo]

12. He should be wearing one of those multi-colored umbrella hats

to keep the sun from further drying out his brain.

[WLKjr]

[Kolesar]

30. thanks ... eom

[bitchkitty]

27. ROFLMAO!

He said that the detainees "disassemble" - then actually defined it as "not telling the truth". hahahahahahaha!

[billyoc]

28. a lot of these reports are coming from, um,

our victims, so what do you expect? :rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

54. I don't think he's got that quite right.

In fact, our goons disassemble the detainees trying to get them to tell the truth.

[Waistdeep]

29. Another great Bushism

"...people that have been trained to disassemble ... that means to not tell the truth"

on edit:

Says our Dissembler-in-chief

[bitchkitty]

33. Disassemblers - would that mean

Diebold programmers don't tell the truth? Makes sense to me! :)

[TeeYiYi]

31. Has he answered ONE question yet? ...nt

TYY

[ElectroPrincess]

32. I think he's arguing with the "little man" in his ear-piece again ...

"Let me finish!"

I'm so embarrassed for Our Country. :cry:

[Singular73]

35. Scrapped? Is that the verb you used?

LOL

[realFedUp]

34. Why aren't we all over Andy Card?

Rove, Cheney and Bush are the targets of our ire,
but Andy Card gets a free pass...I would bet he's
a big reason we're now knee deep in the crapper
these days...

Let's focus our attention.

[goclark]

39. David Gregory seems to be the only one

that can ask a hard question.

To think that they let him keep getting away with this shit disassembles me.

What the hell was he trying to say??:crazy:

[SpiralHawk]

56. What was he trying to say? "Catapult the propaganda"

Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda

Catapult the propaganda

Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda
Catapult the propaganda

[Sydnie]

36. What other countries want to reform the UN?

I keep hearing this talking point and it baffles me. I don't read anything anywhere else that any other country wants to "reform" the UN. Why does blivet** have such a hard on for "catapulting that propaganda"?

I am so tired of hearing that phrase come out of their mouths. Why don't they just call it what it is - dismantling the UN?

[Kool Kitty]

37. He was glad to see Priscilla Owen get a

vote, and, as he said, "she passed quite comfably". Before I listen to the rest of this, I better get "comfable". Idiot.

[madhat]

38. Unbelievable.

Who is this David Green guy?

[Newsjock]

40. Seating chart

And note that Chimpy called on him without first checking to see if he even had his hand up.

[sabra]

41. Jeff Gannon part 2?

[AzDar]

42. Unlike other Presidents during press conferences, Bush seems to look

at some sort of chart on his podium, and mumble about "who's next"...
Leads me to believe questions ( and therefore, answers) are known beforehand. Most Presidents would just look out over the Press Corps,
and call on whomever was waving a hand. No room for spontaneity in this regime.......

[The Night Owl]

43. The White House Press Corpse

No pulse. Thoroughly compromised. All of them.

Well, David Gregory seems to be persistent, but he always seems to ask the wrong questions.

[Snellius]

44. Oh, Oh. Whenever he's this doofusy

he's got something he's afraid of, something he's trying to hide.

"One more question and I've got to hop." ???

[bahrbearian]

48. Commander Bunny-Pants, Back to my hidy hole

[jokerman93]

45. I just figured it out!

Disassemble means to not tell the truth. Mmm. Somebody must have explained this important new vocabulary to him this morning when they gave him his lines.

Bush isn't insane. He's merely laboring under the mistaken believe that everyone else is as stupid as he is.

Hard work! Hard work!

[Lerkfish]

46. sooo...if the detainees lie, why are we torturing them for info?

wouldn't that be counterproductive?

i swear, they have dropped down the rabbit hole of logic.

[bitchkitty]

47. Definition:

From Whatis.com

In programming terminology, to disassemble is to convert a program in its executable (ready-to-run) form (sometimes called object code) into a representation in some form of assembler language so that it is readable by a human. A program used to accomplish this is called a disassembler, because it performs the inverse of the task that an assembler does.

Bunny (hop! hop! hop!) misread the word of the day section in Reader's Digest.

[Kolesar]

50. I call it a "reverse compiler" ... eom

[Amonester]

52. MOV EAX, Shrub

MOV PrisonCell, EAX
MOV EAX, PaperBallots
MOV ElectionSystem, EAX
END Dominion

:bounce:

[realFedUp]

49. Any mention that Basra is a mess now?

yeah, right.

Hey, isn't that Tony's property to manage?

[Kagemusha]

51. Supposedly the guy who said it was a mess

is an ex-Baathist soon to be run out of his job.

Which isn't to say what he said is not true. The spoils system is in full swing over there.

Just the people taking the spoils are Shiites. Not just Sadr people, though.

[Danieljay]

53. the epitome of hypocrisy (quote)

"On another foreign policy issue, Bush shot back at critics who suggest his diplomatic approach to North Korea is allowing the communist regime to expand its nuclear program. "If diplomacy is the wrong approach, I guess that means military. That's how I view it as either diplomacy or military. I am for the diplomacy approach," he said. "And for those who say we ought to be using our military to stop a problem, I would say that while all options are on the table, we've still got a ways to go to solve this diplomatically."

Ummm...where was diplomacy with Iraq? What a hole.

[The_Casual_Observer]

55. The generals have warned chimp that the US would get it's ass kicked

in North Korea, thus "diplomacy".
