Bush arrogance with the Irish reporter....

[kentuck]

Or perhaps just utter contempt or disregard? Why would she not just shut up like the timid American reporters? Did they warn him ahead of time that he may actually get challenged by a reporter? What a concept! But he showed his intimidating tactics that he has used extremely well against the American press. It was sickening.

1. He Came Across Crazy

I just saw it on MSNBC, Countdown.

[EdGy]

20. wild-eyed crazy!!

absolutely.

I watched the entire 11 minutes on the Irish tv website.

It was embarrassing. He's off his rocker, very clearly unstable, losing it, crazy and wild eyed, aggressive in very inappropriate ways towards the reporter.

[kentuck]

2. And the audacity of the reporter to say...

No, Mr pResident, the world is not a safer place. You are wrong.

[Southsideirish]

4. Wow , being 100% Irish -I am so proud. At last a reporter has the

courage to confront the beast.

[Southsideirish]

3. Did you notice the condescending way he spoke to her - like she

didn't comprehend English? He is enunciating in the most odd way lately -what is with that?

[madaboutharry]

7. I have also noticed this, it is as if

he has lockjaw. It seems like he is trying to talk over his medication or something. Very weird. This man is constitutionally unfit to serve as president.

[Th1onein]

19. He's enunciating like a DRUNK!

My sister saw him come down Air Force One steps the other day and she said you could tell that he was drunk.

5. Can you elaborate a little?

For those of us that aren't into cable or satellite?

What was the questioning about? In what circumstance did it take place? A little color on what the pResident's reply was?

[acmavm]

6. I could only watch a little over half of it. I was so damn embarrassed

that he is the pResident of my country I could feel my face get red and warm.

What a basket case. Saddam had the 'capability' of producing weapons of mass destruction? That bullshit story was debunked a long time ago.

That interview is rock solid proof that the guy is a true sociopath. No shame whatsoever, and of course, no remorse either. The rest of this planet is just shaking their heads in amazement, no doubt.

11. Compare this to the

Clinton interview last night on Larry King. Granted, Larry King is a wimp of an interviewer, but I learned a lot last night. I think Clinton has grown as a person and I was surprised to hear him talk of his deep regret over failing to intervene in Rwanda. He said it will always be with him. Compare that sentiment to the callous way in which Bush speaks in regards to human life.

15. Every time i see Clinton

I just realize how much we lost in the transition from his Era to the Bush Era. Gore's new passion and his intellect makes me realize how I miss being able to listen to my nation's leaders, and respect them.

[spanone]

8. His tactic is to dominate the conversation with rhetorical bullshit

When the interviewer tries to follow up he accuses her of interrupting him. What an asshole. Talking to her like she was nine years old.

[kentuck]

10. "Let me finish..OK?......."

Then wait...and wait... and then smirk and continue lying just like you do in AMerica. The Irish didn't buy it, I get the feeling...

[Cha]

13. While I was watching F9/11 in New York...bush

was over there in Ireland(home of my ancestors)giving an Irish reporter a hardass time.

Michael Moore has bush on film in F9/11 saying the same damn thing.."Let me finish, ok."

[Th1onein]

21. Rhetorical bullshit is exactly right!

And did you catch him talking down to her? And closing his eyes in frustration? What a prick!

[jimshoes]

9. Wait until he feels the love

over in Ireland. Georgie sure hates to be interrupted especially by some snippy ferriner. The young lady doing the interview evidently didn't get the memo that it is sacrilege to interrupt his ass-holiness. I am now convinced that should I go to hell, there is going to be non-stop bush* speeches blaring from giant televisions for all eternity.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. "Let me finish!"

They like to say that when they're not really answering the question. He basically did what Clinton did when the other reporter. Pointed his finger and leaned foward in his seat. But of course, * was defending the deaths of thousands, which is the fault of * and his administration. Clinton was only talking about bleeping weak affair.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

14. "Let me finish" = "Let me change the subject" n/t

[AlabamaYankee]

16. My wife just flew in from Ireland

She was on a ten day tour, and and said everyone over there hates him (conversely, the love Clinton). People in shops would ask her how she felt about him and she would answer truthfully - he's a disaster and an embarrassment.

The Irish are also really pissed about how much they are having to pay for all of the security for his royal highness the Shrub.

[koopie57]

17. I don't think * realizes that

people hate him. And I think the reporter was very respectful in spite of the arrogance and rhetoric. I would have gotten up and looked for the off button on his person, anything to shut him up.

23. I just watched the whole horrid interview ...

and I'm so damn ashamed that this "bully" represents our great Country. My Black Irish blood is a boiling now. Damn, I hope this evil man is voted out of the White House come November. On my part, I'll do every damn legal action I can to support our local Democratic Committee. What a mar-oon!?!
