what was really said at bush press conference

[Liberate]

Heres a quick run down on Bush's press conference today with the real meaning minus the rhetoric and soft questions.

Bush basically said that he" takes responsibility for what he says." with the exception of the uranim lie he told because he didnt refer to that, even though the media will make it seem like he did.
He then basically promised permanent war despite the daily death toll in Iraq. Last but not least he said he'll protect whats in the 28 pages of the 9/11 report because he has alot to hide and its in the name of" security"
So long have a nice day reporters, and dont bother me to talk again until another four months. Rhetoric followed by more rhetoric and cute nicknames for friendly reporters followed by goodbye.

1. A piercing precis

But you missed a salient newsbyte: Bush* twice said today that he was "too old" to answer complex quesions. Hmmm? That, methinks, is a telling nugget to fall from the psyche of our unelected but resolutely bellicose president*

Liberate the truth.

[soothsayer]

3. Ah, yes! I am hoping someone can exploit that "too old" thing

What a doofus he is!

[radfringe]

6. if he's toooooo old to answer complex questions

doesn't that also imply that he's tooooooo old to run a complex country, such as ours? just asking

[glarius]

2. Don't forget this little nugget.." The war on terror goes on..There are

still Al Qaeda reminnets (remnants) that have designs on America." Another cute little Bushism to add to our vocabulary!..What a moron!

4. IMHO, this is one of those press conferences that bush* will

forever regret....

8. I agree with you

That "I'm responsible for every word that comes out of my mouth" statement is going to haunt him.

[soothsayer]

5. Don't forget the scriptural references

Speck in yer neighbor's eye, log in yours. our nation is blessed. some other godly stuff I've blocked out, too.

On edit: oh, yeah, the 'sanctity' of marriage between a man n' a woman.

I wonder if he meant to blurt out that anti-gay marriage stuff or if it t'were an accident?

7. Another Bushism

Did anyone hear him say conscience instead of conscious? Something like "I'm conscience of the concerns of the families of the third ID..." Of course, that's just a nitpicky l'il ole thang - I like my Presidents to use the English language correctly and clearly. :dunce:

You summed up the general context nicely. If you take away the extraneous Hallmark card platitude bullshit, he said just what you described. He could have done it in thity seconds or less.

:boring:

Hey, lets work on figuring out how to win some elections. Right now we have nothing... and we've been playing Clinton/Bush tit for tat for almost 4 years now.

11. His dismissal of them was nasty, I thought.

Telling them how lucky they are to get to go to freaking Crawford Hellhole Texas at the beginning of August, knowing they hate it. What a pissant he is.

Oh yeah, and his comments about the deficit: "we were going to have one anyway" or something like that. WTF? So let's make it worse?
