Bush is scolding the press for asking questions.

[saltpoint]

His tone is condescending and exasperated.

He asserts entitlement to torture human beings.

Even after 6 years of knowing how bad he is, this guy is astonishingly unqualified to be a public servant.

1. I bet he beats Barney

[Dora]

3. Don't hold your breath. n/t

[saltpoint]

4. The purple dinosaur Barney? They must have tapped his phone and

discovered that he's a terrorist!

I KNEW it!

That damned Barney!

[knowbody0]

7. I was thinking of Barney, his dog

[babylonsister]

8. No, I think his dog is named Barney, so worse than the purple dino. nt

[saltpoint]

9. ! Oh! THAT Barney.

I need to update my file.

[madinmaryland]

14. I knew there was something wrong with Barney . . .

[MADem]

11. Naaah, he just drops him on his head--lets him know who's boss NT

[doublethink]

2. He definitely has anger issues doesn't he?

:crazy:

[saltpoint]

5. He does. A hell of a lot of negative energy comes off him at any

given moment, and especially during press conferences.

Very hostile, very aggressive, very territorial.

Lizard-like.

[bdamomma]

6. those "anger issues" hopefully will be seen by many to

show how sick this man is.

16. Remember when his dad grabbed the girl's anti-Bush sign and tore it up?

This was during the '88 campaign. He grabbed a girl's sign out of her hands, tore it up, and threw the pieces on the ground yelling "Finis!"

Shortly after that, a journalist who'd written an anti-Bush article was confronted in a restaurant by a very drunk, very belligerent George W.--still on the sauce back then--who threatened him, swore at him, and verbally abused him.

I think the Bush family has a lot of anger bottled up. Comes with the sense of entitlement.

[MADem]

10. He's BULLSHIT....now, if the press would only push his buttons more often

that would be a GOOD thing.

Reminds me of Nixon toward the end.

[saltpoint]

12. He just said that Anbar province was NOT lost, despite claims of

an on-the-ground commander earlier this week.

I think the word "delusional" is definitely apt.

[ryanus]

13. The reporters are weak

They're all like, "oh, thank you, Mr. President"..."I apologize Mr. President." Gregory is all right, though. And Bush acts irritated that they even hint at questioning what he says.

You know, I studied North Korea for awhile. The difference are shrinking.

[saltpoint]

15. The White House press corps are not always the most aggressive but

Bush is the weak one.

What a pathetic performance by a U.S. president this is.

Imagine trying to diagram his sentences by parts of speech, or trying to establish a narrative trajectory.
