Bush Threatens Adam Clymer
by Eric Hananoki on September 7, 2006 - 11:17am.

Shocking! Bush said this in his press conference yesterday to Adam Clymer, the NY Times reporter who President Bush referred to as a 'major league asshole' in 2000:

I'll never forget your face. I will kill you, your brothers, your mother, and sisters.

Clymer doesn't even have any brothers! Shocking!

Apparently, Al Franken aired the audio on his show yesterday. I heard about this morning on a local AAR show and tracked it down on Al's site. The manner in which Bush speaks is chilling.


Edit: My bad, apparently this was a joke. The caller on AAR took it as real. Thanks everyone.

1. He wouldn't have the balls to kill ANYBODY....

He'd probably go whining to Poppy and Poppy would tell him to piss off.

2. From the leader of the free world??

[NYCGirl]

3. He actually aired it today and it was a joke. Bush said this about

"terrarists", not Clymer.

9. geez but I detest these kinds of posts. nt

[NYCGirl]

11. I guess you had to have been listening to get it. NT

[grizmaster]

12. So he was threatening to kill all the relatives of terrorists?

That's as bad as threatening a reporter.

Can you provide any more context?

[NYCGirl]

16. No, I have no more context. I've been in and out of my office, only heard

the end of the bit.

[Connie_Corleone]

18. One of the terrorists said it after being captured.

[grizmaster]

20. ah, that makes a little more sense

But damn, it does say something that it strikes nobody as impossible that he would say this to a reporter.

[grizmaster]

4. That is astounding

the bush crazy train has completely left the tracks

[Recursion]

5. huh?

Is this one of those "fictionalized for dramatic purposes" jokes?

[sui generis]

14. apparently, mighta been produced by ABC, who knows

they have such high standards for truthiness ;)

[QuestionAll...]

6. ????

* really said that???

sorry, can't usually read files like that.

[Flying Dream Blues]

7. * said this in response to what? The fact that this seems

to be taken completely out of context makes me wonder.

[NYCGirl]

8. It's a joke. They explained on the show that Bush said this about

a "terrorist", NOT Clymer.

[Kagemusha]

19. Wait a minute, you sure that's "Bush" speaking ?

I heard that's what they said to the 9/11 mastermind during his interrogation and he told them, go ahead, they'll be with me in heaven.

Bush didn't conduct that interrogation personally by any means.

[Flying Dream Blues]

10. Ah, I see. Nevermind.

[Connie_Corleone]

13. You know it's taken out of context as a joke, don't you?

[yurbud]

15. do you have a little more context for that, like a transcript?

[rwheeler31]

17. This is not true. Please check with the show.

21. no kidding

some of us need to take off the tin foil hats

[porphyrian]

22. Ha! bush is such a fucking coward!

If he spent half as much time and effort doing anything as he does trying to prove he isn't chickenshit, he wouldn't be such an utter failure. The woos can't even admit when he's wrong, for fuck's sake. Ooo, better bow up and look butch, bushie, your panty line's showing.

23. Jesus Christ, I was about to say...!
