15. Notice how they cleaned his quote up for him?
He said he has an "epileptic" reading list...They changed it to the word he was too stupid to think of himself: "eclectic."

However, now I see that some are saying that he pronounced it "ec-el-ectic." (see below)

From that interview. He does do that very well..

40. And that revelation
came out of nowhere. Williams was asking about the books he claims he has read. * changed the subject to low expectations.

4. Where's that pathetic picture
of Rita with her nose pressed to the car window with John Karr in the front? That would be the worst punishment ever..

6. That is the look of horror as rita's career slips farther away ...

10. Big Time....
Loved it when Keith Olbermann called her dumber than a suitcase of rocks. Hee, I giggled over that and I vowed to try not to take glee in other people's pain - oh what the hell, that nasal throaty butch shrew has said some pretty stupid things on the air.

33. How does that woman survive in television at all?
Does she have some kind of HUGE family clout? That's all I can figure. She is the most revolting "reporter" I have ever had the misfortune of watching, or I should say, especiall, listening to. ACK!! She is a walking horror show!

5. Maybe they'll just shoot him in the back of the head?
Edited on Tue Aug-29-06 09:13 PM by Swamp Rat
Why not? It would cost a lot less than the other methods they use. Plus, Bushler can just make another 'signing statement' absolving him of the crime.

8. Swamp Rat, I love your graphics. They rock.
Seriously. Some of them really freak me out, but then again, I realize the subject matter causes that to happen. :-)

His descent will not be allowed to stand unpunished.

12. The adoring son -- that about
sums him up. The adoring son who has not been disciplined properly by anyone or anything. But the adoring son will be judged and he knows it, even as he tries to avoid it.
I liked the part where he couldn't say anything about Camus.

18. I voted "Rita" just because it was so damn funny
and would truly be the worst punishment for Mr. Williams.

19. Rita and Ted Baxter would make great co-anchors
for Fox News. Sometimes I wish Ted Knight was still around to imitate Fox News reporters.

22. I thought Williams was drooling over W. like a love sick puppy.
The transcript of the interview does not tell the whole story. You need to watch it, watch the body language. He and Tony Blair and all those guys seem to have some kind of fixation on W. I think he fulfills some intense male bonding need that a lot of guys have. It is probably because he was closer to his dad than his mom, plus he is a cancer.

Amyway, if that was Williams idea of "getting tough" I want him to be my prosecuting attorney.

Of course that is just my opinion. Anyone else see the interview and have a different take?

25. Personally, I think he was holding back for the sake of his job.
I believe that if he could have, he would've shoved his foot up shrubby's ass.

35. I do too. There was an edge to his voice when he talked about Katrina
I think he decided to let Bush make an ass out of himself--or maybe he smelled booze on his breath, who knows.

24. Didya catch * "book reports" ?
"It was a good book"

That's the classic delivery of a kid who didn't read the book at all. Godd*m liar!

Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 12:39 AM by Jack_Dawson
I'm sorry but BW asked the questions NOBODY has asked of our "Prez". "Katrina was pretty much your lowpoint wouldn't you agree?" etc.

It was f'n awesome. Finally.

34. Co-anchoring with Crosby wouldn't be punishment so much as torture.
Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 10:36 AM by dave123williams
Hardly suprising, considering how much Bushco seems to enjoy and defend torturing folks.
