"History will judge what I am about..."

[SHRED]

---

Notice how when the interviewer tries to challenge Chucklenutz he interrupts her and says, "Please don't interrupt...let me finish".
Sneaky little monkey.

No wonder we saw very little of this interview.
I vaguely remember it.

---


The President's handlers foolishly granted a Presidential interview to a non-White House Press Corps journalist, Carole Coleman, the Washington correspondent for RTE, the Irish national television network.

When she asked him pointed, pertinent questions, he became upset when his stock answers failed to satisfy her.

An aide to the President later complained that Coleman had "overstepped the bounds of politeness."

This interview was not shown on American television.

From June 24, 2004.

1. And history will not be a merciful judge.

[Wiccan Warrior]

2. Interesting interview very telling about him

not that we didn't already know however.

[Solly Mack]

3. I don't care what history will have to say about Shrub

Unless history writes that Bush Inc - all of them - were tried and imprisoned.

I worry more about what history will say about a nation and people that allow war criminals to go free.

History doesn't ask why the Nazis did what they did so much as asking why Germans allowed it.

4. Hopefully, history will have to get in line

behind the judges at the Hague.

5. .....Coleman had "overstepped the bounds of politeness."

Meaning: she asked unscripted questions and demanded answers, not platitudes. Bush will never directly answer a question. He answers to no one because he's "the decider". "I'm the President, I'm the President, I'm the President"! And being "the President" means never having to answer questions he doesn't like, or most often, doesn't understand.

His self imposed dictatorship of our country is in full swing now, he owes no explanations to anyone. Or so he THINKS! :grr: It's time to snap the little fucker's chain and bring him back into reality.

6. Thanks for this, Shred! This is a classic.

Here's another classic, a 1999 interview between a Boston reporter & the Supreme Court's selection-to-be:

As our interview began, Bush dismissed the notion he may be weak on foreign policy:

Bush: "No, I've got a clear vision of where I want to lead America."

So I asked him to name the leaders of four world hot spots: Chechnya, Taiwan, India and Pakistan. The president of Chechnya is a former colonel in the Soviet army (Aslan Maskhadov).

Andy: "Can you name the president of Chechnya."

Bush: "No, can you?"

The leader of Taiwan's government is President Lee Teng-Hui.

Andy: "Can you name the president of Taiwan?"

Bush: "Yeah, Lee...Wait a minute...Is this 50 questions?"

Bush: "No, it's four questions of four leaders of four hot spots."

The top man in Pakistan is General Pervaiz Musharraf, who overthrew an elected government.

Bush: "The new Pakistani general -- just been elected -- he's not been elected... the guy took over office...it appears he's going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the sub continent. "

Andy: "And you can name him? "

Bush: "General, I can name the general... "

Andy: "And it's..."

Bush: "General."

Finally, I asked Bush to identify the leader of India's government.

Andy: "And the Prime Minister of India?"

Bush: "The new prime minister of India is...uh....No."

Which led to this:

Bush: "Can you name the foreign minister of Mexico?"

Andy: "No sir, but I would say to that I'm not running for president."

Bush: "I understand. But the point is, if what you're suggesting is...What I'm suggesting to you is that if you can't name the foreign minister of Mexico, therefore you're not capable of what you do, but the truth is you are...whether you can or not."

7. That's gonna make for some very sad bedtime stories to read to your grandkids, George.

:yoiks:

[Kazak]

8. History had better show at least an attempt to remove him from office...

:mad:

[Tanuki]

9. Coleman: "I wanted to slap him"

The White House apparently thought they were scheduling an interview with some sort of Irish Katie Couric, but were shocked to find Bush paired with something unknown in America...a real journalist! They had even suggested some stupid softball questions, such as asking about what Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern was wearing that day so Bush could deliver a pre-packaged wisecrack, and dangled the possibility of an interview with Laura Bush if Coleman played along. You can read a piece by Coleman about it all here:

10. For someone who said he was not worried about his legacy

Bush sure has a lot to say these days. I heard on MSM that he has historians at the WH trying to come up with his version of his story - fugg Bush.

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. I prefer he be judged by a jury of my peers.

[11 Bravo]

14. Actually, that should be a jury of HIS peers. If they combine the population ...

of the chimps in the D.C. and Baltimore zoos, they should be able to come up with a dozen capable jurors.

[Toots]

12. What that sentence says to me is Americans are too stupid to know what he's about right now.

It is the epitome of arrogance.

13. Elite-Librul-Media

If the gutless elite liberal media were doing there job here in Amerika the pathetichorseshiteating-grinning-sirliesalot-motherfucker would be hunkered down in some corner of some badly lit federal prison writing on the walls with his own feces by now. Too bad this wasn't played over and over during the super bowl by a genius hacker so all of the freepers could feel the love.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.... etc.
