One of Bush's most annoying spaking modes is when he gets condescending.

[Pepperbelly]

Have you guys seen this?

When he repeting one of his spin points, he will get this condescending grin on his ugly mug as he slowly repeats it, as though the reporter asking the question were stupid. Of course, the reporter could well be stupid but man, to have this worthless asshole act condescending.

:grr: :puke:

1. They all do it

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld. It is known as the "I am an asshole CEO and I know everything so shut up" look.

2. Arrogant/"condescending" ....deadly combination.

I would like to get really condescending when he loses the 2004 election again...only this time he doesn't get to squat.

3. It's like when a 5-year-old talks down to you.

It's like when a 5-year-old talks down to you. And you know that the only thing that will change their mind is hard, bitter, experience. Only with Bush we all get to share the experience.

4. when is he NOT condescending?--n/t

5. I was thinking about this yesterday when Biden basically told Wolfowitz

to shut up (actually, just not to interrupt, but Biden was so angry it sounded worse than the words would on paper). I'm not all that fond of Biden, but I wanted to cheer when he attacked Wolfowitz (who, like *, is hideously condescending).

I would LOVE to see * in court, forced to answer questions, and called on every lie.

Another condescending, RUDE creep is Boucher (spelling?) who gives State Dept. briefings. If this is the face America presents to the world, and we know it IS, well, it's a wonder we have any friends at all (and maybe we don't, as a nation). I read somewhere that the arrogance (among other unsavory qualities) of the Americans in Iraq is losing us a lot of potential friends.

I really don't know how the reporters can stand being treated this way--maybe they go home to scream for half and hour to get the anger out of their systems? I know I would.

6. b.b.b.b.b.but.......

......they could lose their ACCESS!

(Jon Stewart pointed out that they don't really have access if no questions are answered anyhoo.)

7. I know exactly what you mean!

I thought I was the only one who saw this look on his face...

He smiles condescendingly every time he tries to express some inane talking point or some forceful opinion... This condescending smile almost looks like the facial expression of someone having an arduous bowel movement.
