TONIGHT'S BUSHISMS

[Stephanie]

To find those who would do harm to us, and to get them out of harm's way.

[Bluebear]

1. We should have a active nucular energy policy in America

[malaise]

6. Don't forget the peninshula

that was good.

[Bluebear]

10. Ah yes the Korean peninshoooola!

[liveoaktx]

61. And then he talked about LITERACY later

[Virginian]

65. When he talks about education

He seems to stop at the requirements for a third or fourth grader. We need higher education for our citizens that would put them on a level with the people who get free educations in India and China.

Bush talks of no child left behind.
Kerry spoke of no adult left behind. Why stop in childhood?

[elehhhhna]

78. "math literacy"

[AuntiBush]

48. And those young folks... aw... aww... 20 year olds.

:rofl:

[Zynx]

56. It's not nuclear. It's nucular. The "s" is silent.

From Family Guy.

[hvn_nbr_2]

87. Funny

:rofl:

Is Family Guy a TV show? (Obviously, I don't watch much TV.)

[Agnomen]

2. Thanks! Missed it

[Bonobo]

3. "Find people who want to harm our country and get them out of harm's way"

[CottonBear]

12. I heard that an can not believe he said that.

Rove is shitting in his pants about now.
Now he's going on about literacy and no Child Left Behind...

[eleny]

18. Rove is fighting Hughes for the mic

[Lorien]

21. Like Osama? n/t

[gordianot]

57. I think you are right.

This is not the first time he has misspoken in this manner.

[Strawman]

32. guess that's why Cheney is in that bunker all the time n/t

[Generator]

38. Best laugh so far!

[frankly_fedup2]

71. Yeah. And we still have that shadow government. Why do we need

them. We even have a "shadow" supreme court. Can you believe this crap.

The day before yesterday when they had the "ghost" blip on radar, they showed where Bush was rushed to in a sketch. It showed where his bunker was and under what part of the White House.

They then stated that VP Cheney was taken to his private security area. No visuals with that one though.

Regarding that "ghost" blip on radar, today I was listening to the guy filling in for Limbaugh. He said Limbaugh was getting his ears tweaked (yeah right, the news all evening stated Limbaugh lost his case regarding his privacy with his medical records today). Odd those two things going on, on the same day and all.

Anyway, this Sullivan guy that was filling in for Limbaugh said he was there with the media. He stated the Secret Service was telling everyone to run ASAP before they even knew what it was. Which probably is the best thing to do. However, he said that not one of the Secret Service or any of the other security at the White House was even looking up. They were running in every direction looking, but never looked up. He said he felt that there was something else going on. Now this guy is a Republicant. He even stated he didn't fall into this "Conspiracy Theory" stuff, but he definitely knew they were not concerned about anything coming from the sky.

Anyway, thought I would share. I thought it was kind of interesting.

[Frederik]

43. The worst thing is

He really means it!

[EVDebs]

4. You'd think Yogi Berra was prez, now, wouldn't you ? I'd trust Yogi

more too !

[AuntiBush]

49. My DOG could do better - are you kidding!

LOL!

[jdj]

64. no, because Yogi makes sense...

in a nonsensical way. Yogi makes you think. Listening to Bush KILLS brain cells.

[zoeb]

5. don't forget "I can only speak to me"

I believe he should have said "for me"

[Maat]

9. Well, the retired social worker in me says ..

maybe he was trying to tell us something.

Sorry, just kidding.

[zoeb]

13. lol

:rofl:

[Maat]

20. I'm laughing too.

One more beer and I'll be laughing even more.

[Javaman]

40. And another after that and I'll be crying...

[Maat]

55. I hear you.

I'm staying strong for the kid.

I make her promise me she'll never vote for an idiot like that.

She made a nice peace sign in class (when they were all working up art). The card said, 'No War!' I was so proud.

[Daphne08]

66. My husband had two beers before the press conference

just so he could deal with my ranting during and after it. :toast:

He's still feeling fine, I think. :D

[zapp]

7. More fair means pay what you owe

[proud patriot]

8. yes I caught that

:crazy:

[kittenpants]

11. "literacy in math"

[maddezmom]

14. measure...literacy in math

:eyes:

[CottonBear]

17. That would be numeracy but he's illiterate so he doesn't know.

"Admitedly get the cush (school) tours sometimes."

Well OK It's over. They cut him off. Amazing.

[cry baby]

67. I caught that one, too!

*scratches head in confusion* I didn't know you could be literate in math.

[flakey_foont]

15. Thanks

am missing it..because at work..but sounds like he forgot to take his gingko biloba today....
is he really coming across as Cletus the slack-jawed yokel?

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. I'm missing it too.. Anyone recording it, for later posting?

Sounds like a lot of great soundbites about to appear in an industrial song near you. What a goldmine.

[Stephanie]

39. You could stream it at >

www.cspan.org

or there should be a transcipt at www.washingtonpost.com pretty soon, I would think.

[Fire Walk With Me]

44. Thanks

It wouldn't be the same without his face, because I intend to watch as much of it as I can tolerate, with the volume off. Dishonesty and patronisation tend to march to the forefront under such conditions. It certainly makes heavy metal video a good laugh.

[Ilsa]

47. I bet Mike Malloy streams it tonight or tomorrow on AAR. eom

[Taxloss]

16. "I don't know about the lawsuit, I'm not a lawyer"

The man is a congenital idiot.

[TahitiNut]

68. He displays his ignorance with pride.

He has an enormous amount of it to be proud of. :puke:

[elehhhhna]

79. schlurrr, schlurr, schlurr--always starts 20 minutes in.

[fooj]

88. What an EEEDIOT!

He is such an embarrassment!

:blush:

[Bluebear]

22. Liquified gas is a solid.

[elehhhhna]

80. Don't we get most LNG for Canada? So whaddaya need a BOAT for?

[bushisanidiot]

23. If ya teach a child ta read & write, it dudn't matter whether or not ya

measure.

[stellanoir]

24. "when you liquify it. . .when you put it into solid form. . ."

* on natural gas

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3563595

[kittenpants]

25. "If yer a two-workin' family..."

[Junkdrawer]

26. "Bush promises protection for all who would harm America. Details at 11"..

First true words out of his mouth in 5+ years...

[goodboy]

27. BEST.BUSHISM.EVER (well for this press conference)

[Elwood P Dowd]

28. Kick - Somebody make up a complete list.

I'm going to email it to every repuke I know.

[dmr]

29. His last statement

"Listen, thank you'all for your answers and God Bless our country."

I know the networks cut him off, but C-Span 3 ran the conference until he walked off the lectern, after making this last clsoing statement.

[MnFats]

31. NPR had every last word, too.

my Gawd but our country is in deep shit.

[dmr]

60. Damn it! The NY Times transcript changed it

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/28/politics/29bush_transcript_web.html?pagewanted=print&position=

I know he said it, even Malloy made fun of it. I wonder what else in the transcript was deleted or changed.

[Stephanie]

77. Here's what the WaPo has >

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/28/AR2005042801893.html

Listen, thank you all for your interest. God bless our country.

END

[anarchy1999]

89. Everything.

n/t

It is a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in today.

[trekbiker]

84. I heard that one too..

Freudian slip?? he probably had so many answers memorized and "answer" was constantly on his mind

[tallahasseedem]

30. "We at war"

[Kindigger]

33. Don't know if this counts, but it was ironic

"It's hard to go from tyranny to a democracy."

[Roland99]

34. But it's damn easy to go from democracy to tyranny

[Stephanie]

36. Just so long as I'm the dictator

Heh heh heh

[halobeam]

37. Yeah, I thought we'd be learning that on our own.,.... and

how soon. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Straight Shooter]

45. He just said it was "hard"? He didn't say it was "hard work"?

1 demerit for failure to parrot a talking point correctly.

[AuntiBush]

50. Call it what it is: DICTATORSHIP

by a Chimp at that. Everybody heads-up. 1 week to let your Rep's know not to vote for the New ID act.

[fob]

74. A dictatorship by a chimp = Chimptatorship?

[Generator]

35. So that explains what the FBI was doing before 9/11

He speaks truth!

[hiley]

41. he is the dictator alright

needed this thread ! thanks


:rofl:

[Frederik]

42. rofl

:rofl: He said that? I missed it.

[elshiva]

46. "The math has changed..."

Talking about Social Security anytime he mentions math, we are in trouble! "That sounds like fuzzy math to me."

[seeker4ever]

51. "In other words"

Nothing like having a moron clarify his moronisms to you every five seconds.

Did he ever _answer_ a question at all?

[adigal]

52. Didn't he say something like we need personal accounts

to get a higher rate of return because we will need it to pay down the big debt we have???

and -

Asbestos reform will really help the economy!!!

My God, I think the man has lost it!!!

[Bozita]

54. Yup, higher return rate will be needed to pay off our "big debt"

The best anti-drug ad would be Bush speaking without a teleprompter or earpiece. Nothing else required.

[MidwestMomma]

53. Towards the end, did he say something about "Americans need to watch

their tv shows" or seomthing like that?

I was fading out and missed that exactly. Was that cause he knew the networks had cut him off? Just curious...

[Zynx]

58. What a douche!

I'm glad I didn't see that.

[NJCher]

59. what a funny thread

I was listening on Air America while gardening and being so busy, I missed some of it. Faded in and out. So when I came here, I saw all the remarks I thought I heard.

Yep, he really said that. Unbelievable. What a maroon.

Mike Malloy was merciless. Go Mike!


Cher

[BringEmOn]

62. Much like flying the Saudis out of the country after 9-11?

Or flying Bin Laden out of Tora Bora?

Or, as Cheney instructed, keep the moron in the classroom reading about a pet goat...then fly him around the country and hide in a rabbit hole..."to get out of harm's way?"

[Virginian]

63. Teachers love his unfunded "no child left behind?"

Where did he find them? I haven't met any who do.

[young_at_heart]

69. I wonder what teachers think of the "Bushisms"?

I cringe every time I hear him.....how did he ever earn an MBA?

[Virginian]

73. He didn't earn it, he bought it. N/T

[anarchy1999]

91. He didn't. It was bought and paid for many times over.

Please remember and I don't know where to find it, Poppy himself said Georgie wasn't the smart one.

Neil and Jeb are. That's why they are where they are and why we have this idiot standing up, center stage, as the "leader" of the "free" world. Yikes, I just even scared myself.

[Oilwellian]

70. Bush also contradicted himself

He said the social security surplus (treasury bonds) were mere IOU's . He then said you would be allowed to invest in treasury bonds if you opted for privatization.

Jaysus, what a stupid fucking idiot.

[followthemoney]

72. Did anyone else catch the response to a question about Putin?

His eyes were briefly cast down, apearing to be thinking, and then he says,"Wait! Wait!" in response to what could only be his earpiece.

He displayed his piggishness when he called on a reporter by pointing and calling him "Stretch", an obvious reference to the reporters height.

[bridgit]

75. it was telling the way he wrapped it up...

"thank you for your answers..."

just who was he thanking :shrug:

[King Coal]

83. I heard that. I was watching MSNBC, but this is from the Fox transcripts

"Listen, thank you all for your interest. God bless our country."

Isn't it nice of them to cover for him? LOL!

[trekbiker]

85. he was thanking his EARPIECE!!!! aaaaaaahahahaaa...!!

[livinginphotographs]

90. He's got a habit of calling reporters "Stretch."

I noticed he'd toned it down a bit tonight, actually. Rove probably got on him about that.

But the major-league asshole in him slips out every now and again, despite his keepers best efforts.

[anarchy1999]

92. I cringed when he did that. I would not have taken it had I been "Stretch"

"Stretch" though was gracious and said something along the lines of "I've been called worse".... It was a very sad moment.

[ridgerunner]

76. "And I am mindful...

that people in political office should say to somebody, "You're not equally American if you don't happen to agree with my view of religion."

[elehhhhna]

81. What about the "THAT"S NOT FAIR-- THIS IS PRIMETIME"!!???

after most stations cut him off, i switced channels and caught that part. What prompted THAT?!!!

Also: Call KJ Ill an evil dangerous man in the same paragraph as "we're pursuing a diplomamtic solution"? WTF?

[elehhhhna]

82. FOUND IT! -----

QUESTION: I wanted to ask you about your ideas on dealing with Social Security solvency problems.

As I understand it -- and I know you'll tell me if I'm wrong -- benefits would be equal to what -- at least equal to what they are today, and then any increase in benefits would be indexed according to income, with lower-income people getting bigger increases.

Two things on that. Today's benefits probably won't mean much somewhere down the road. And how far are you going to go with this means-based program? Are you talking about...

BUSH: Yes, I appreciate that.

QUESTION: ... a system where a rich person, say Dick Cheney, wouldn't get much out of it?

BUSH: Now wait a minute, don't get personal here, that's international TV. That's a cheap shot....

[anarchy1999]

93. When are we ever going to get rid of him on the simple grounds of

incompetency and insanity? Come on you fundamentalists out there, please, wake up, smell the coffee, take off your damned rose colored glasses. Please we need you.

Jesus please this really didn't happen. It was just a bad dream. I look forward to these events, but last night was it for me. I can't ever watch again. It is not good for my well being.

[vptpt]

86. Once, when he was trying to explain something,

he stopped for a second and then said something like, "...if anybody's listening" or "for those who are listening".

Did anyone else hear that one?
