I can tell you right now how Bush is going to act at his 1 PM press conference

[mtnsnake]

He's going to be a complete suck-up...and not to his base, but to us.

He's going to put on a humble pie act, and he's going make believe that he sincerely wants to work with the Democrats in his final two years.

He's going to try his damndest to butter us up today for one reason only:

Visions of impeachment are going through the manchild's head, and he's crapped his pants more than once since last night just thinking about it.

[SoFlaJet]

1. no he won't

he will have no humility whatsoever-he will immediately start the blame game-watch

[efhmc]

3. I totally agree with you. He is much too arrogant to ever

suck-up.

[mtnsnake]

9. The fear of impeachment does funny things to a coward's soul.

[hippiechick]

16. Yepper, you get the cookie.

He's going to draw his little tantrum line in the sand and act like the spoiled little shithead that we know he is.

[LostinVA]

34. Bingo -- and "bi partisan/terra/taxes"

[Dulcinea]

36. I hope he has a meltdown on national TV.

His majority is gone, his agenda is dead in the water, the neocon wet-dream is over....bring it on! I may watch just to see if he throws a tantrum worthy of a spoiled 3-year-old denied a toy in Wal-Mart.

[butterfly77]

41. I agree ...

he will find a way to say it is all up to the dems to work with him and he will blame the media and claim the washington values some how get in the way of doing work. Which means he doesn't want the media to ask him questions and he expects the dems to do it his way or they are being obstructionist.

I am also hoping to see a temper tantrum...

[still_one]

2. no way it is NOT in his nature

[trotsky]

6. Absolutely correct.

He's fucked up everything in his life and has NEVER had to face consequences. Why should he be worried now?

[mtnsnake]

7. It's not in his nature, but he's going to attempt some acting today. Wait & see

I'd be willing to bet Laura's favorite girdle on it.

[solara]

10. Humble pie is not Junior's dish

Any normal person would sincerely attempt to heal the relationship, but don't forget junior is a psychopath. Our win didn't change that fact. I think his defensive smirk will be intact. along with a classic Rovian spin to his speech.

[mtnsnake]

17. No, but his mama & Rove are giving him acting lessons at this very moment

"George, ya gotta make believe you're humble today, or they're gonna impeach your sorry ass."

[BootinUp]

4. He's going to say the Dems have no plan, that he won't raise taxes or

cut and run in Iraq.

[beachmom]

13. Yeah, and with the Dems controlling Congress, there will

be a terrorist on every street corner. And when you run away from them you'll trip over an illegal alien (quote from bill Clinton)!!!

[leesa]

5. No, he's gonna lecture the Dems about making decisions now and how they need to work with him

now and not be partisans. No, always remember it is the Dems who are the problem. They have no ideas and the can't make decisions.

[mtnsnake]

8. hmm, if I'm proven wrong, I think it will be with the reaction you just described

Good one!

[Cha]

11. Didn't he do that once

before for some damn thing and then go right ahead with their fucking fascist agenda?

Maybe not..but when I read that it just kinda flashed.

Or he could get out there and start jabbin' his pointy little finger in the air with that "weasel-ass" look on his face and tell us what cheney said the other day .."that this changes nothing".."stay the course" yada yada yada.

[lpbk2713]

12. "It's now time for us to put partisan politics aside and work together"

Blow it out your ass, Smirky.



When in the last six years did that thought ever occur to you?



You said you have a 'mandate' that would preclude you from working with us. Well, now the same can be said of US.

[mtnsnake]

14. Yup, along those lines. I think he's also going to congratulate us, the lying bastard

that he is.

"I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate the Democrats who will be taking over the House. BTW, please don't impeach me and I'll say even more nice things about you kind folks."

[subterranean]

35. BINGO.

I believe those will be almost his exact words.
I also think the speech will be short and he won't take any questions.

[AntiWarPoster]

15. why would he be worried about impeachment?

senate wouldneed to convict, and so we'd need 16 republican sens to go along with our 51 dems, and no guarantee all dems would vote for it.

[mtnsnake]

18. Would you want "impeached" added to your record? Conviction is another story

[reichstag911]

39. If they do any serious investigations,...

...they could probably get the necessary Repub votes for conviction in the Senate. Once the scope of the corruption and incompetence of this White House is made clear in the national media, a la the Clenis, his rubber-stamp Senators will run away from him and the cabal to save their own sorry asses. The Dems didn't have a 2/3 majority in '74, but Nixon resigned because he knew he'd be convicted by the Senate.

[rniel]

19. Maybe he'll attack the voters

That's what I want to see

[mtnsnake]

22. That would be funny. Even funnier would be seeing him break down in tears

and have to leave the podium. It could happen. Either way, it'll be interesting to see him bumblefuck his way through whatever speech they have prepared for him. I expect lots more screw-ups with his delivery than usual.

[hippiechick]

23. That's actually very possible ...

... seeing as how he holds us "little people" in such disregard.

I'd pay to see him totally flip his hungover, coke addled mind on live international television.

[soothsayer]

31. I bet he'll be zombied out on tranqs!

[rosesaylavee]

20. Uh. I disagree.

He will be arrogant, cocky and will say something to the effect of 'bring it on'.

Hope I am wrong as that will truly set the stage for nastiness for the next two years.

[soothsayer]

21. Nope, he'll be petulant and say "this is not a mandate for change"

and "I'm the decider, dammit"

and "we never were 'stay the course'"

and...hell, I dunno, but I can't wait to see the bastid!

[loveandlight]

24. no sucking up

This arrogant asshat doesn't know how to suck up. He will be defiant and obnoxious as usual, threatening the Dems to not do anything drastic to cause more terrorist shit. He has to stay the hard line, he doesn't know how to give it. I am sure they are making plans as we speak to continue their threantening attitudes. Cheney has already said it doesn't make a difference to him and he won't abide by any subpeonas that might come down. No, I don't believe he believes this makes a damn bit of difference. It is going to be on the Democrats to make him listen and know that they mean business.

[colonel odis]

25. i think he'll be patronizing and offer phony congratulations, then act like

he wants to be all bipartisan and shit. "act" being the key word.

[Ikonoklast]

26. My vote is for screeching like a Howler monkey

and flinging feces at the camera.




You know, just like every other time he tries to speak.

[sam sarrha]

27. "manchild" is inaccurat.. he is a Wet Brain Alcoholic Drug Addict Psychotic Narcissist hes mentally

ill. he is a dangerous insane criminal and needs to taken out of society and imprisoned for his crimes against humanity along with his entire cabinet and much of the senate and congress leadership and the PENAC criminal gang

[Atman]

28. No, he'll call Americans stupid, say the democrats are gonna get us all killed

The man is spoiled child. Their probably trying to sober him up enough to speak right now!

.

[Danascot]

29. Nah, he thinks he can pardon himself

He's executive privileged.

[paparush]

30. He'll be the same shit dick he always is...then, he's off to Paraguay!

[raccoon]

32. Will this be when he finally loses it in front of everybody?

That would be icing on the cake.

[mtnsnake]

33. If there was ever a time, this will be it. It wouldn't surprise me to see him choking up

with tears of defeat and unable at some point of his speech to continue. I'm taping it just in case.

[Norquist Nemesis]

37. He's going to get testy when the press starts asking questions

and then he'll spew "They have no plan!!! What's their plan!!!!"

Watch the windows when he walks to the podium. Karl will be peeking from behind the curtains! LOL!

[truthisfreedom]

38. hey bush... Fire rove, then we'll talk.

[Rob H.]

40. He'll probably slip in some variation of

"Now, see, what the 'Murkin people gotta unnerstand is...."

There's nothing quite like someone who's dumber than a potted plant showing condescension toward people smarter than he is, is there? :eyes:

[AngryOldDem]

42. I don't see him doing that

WE are the ones who are out of touch, WE are the ones who don't understand how much is at stake. That will give him all the more reason to go full-steam-ahead right into that brick wall of a Democratic House, and maybe a Democratic Senate. I can hear him now: "The work has become harder, but we will not be deterred."

He doesn't get it. He never has, he never will. He's always right, you see. Always. :sarcasm:

[davekriss]

43. He's going to declare himself...

...pRetzeldunce for Life and dissolve the Congress. Or maybe it'll just be a bunch of early pardon announcements; you know, an attempt to cut off the coming tsunami of congressional investigations in the bud. Anything is possible from an angry, cornered sociopathic-narcissist.

[mtnsnake]

44. Well, was I right or wrong? He all but proposed marriage to Nancy Pelosi!

If that asshole didn't just do the biggest suck-up job of the century then what the heck was it? He must've told us 20 times how he can't wait to work with those fine Democrats who kicked Repbulican ass in the elections, and 25 times how he's so looking foward to getting together with Nancy Pelosi. I swear he popped wood just at the thought of meeting with her on Friday.

:evilgrin:
