Shrub and Allawi press conference coming up. They are even covering

[Pirate Smile]

it on all the networks - ABC,NBC, and CBS along with the news channels.

[rndmprsn]

1. of course

for shrub anything.

[irancontra]

2. He must be on ritalin or something

he's completely dellusional:silly: :nopity: :crazy: :freak:

[aquart]

7. Ritalin is not related to delusions.

Go insult a different group of people.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

26. Marketer for Ritalin?

My understanding is, ritalin is an amphetamine and as with all "speedy" drugs overuse can lead to delusions.

Ritalin abuse is rampant in colleges right now--it's the "finals week" drug of the oughts.

[aquart]

54. I'm sorry. I meant for the people who actually need to take it.

It doesn't speed me up. It slows me down.

[candy331]

3. Shrub must really be in trouble to trot Allawi out, he must be well

protected since ME names are high on the list for terrorism/or is he flying on AF1?

[Pirate Smile]

4. Seeing Allawi is supposed to make us all think this has been a great

success.

Fantasy land for everyone!

[irancontra]

5. I don't believe anyone is buying this junk

[chimpymustgo]

10. Too many will, unfortunately. Schools being built, books delivered,

yadayadayada...

Tell me why this warrants NETWORK coverage. Will they even pre-empt the soaps?

[Pirate Smile]

22. They are all preempted. I don't know why! They were for the

speech to the UN also.

[girl gone mad]

17. What do you mean?

Everything is going great in Iraq.

The media is lying.

The elections can be held today.

The coalition is strong.

Up is down.

Wrong is right.

War is peace.

repeat after me:

Everything is going great in Iraq.

The media is lying...

[girl gone mad]

6. Repeating the garbage..

about fighting the terrorists in Iraq instead of letting them bring the fight over here.

As if terrorists have stopped planning attacks on US soil because of the war in Iraq. And how tacky is it to say such a thing right in front of Allawi? Gee, Iraqi lives aren't as important as American lives, so it's good that we're creating more terrorists in Iraq.

[Gelliebeans]

8. i can't watch him anymore

can't stomache his lies and that shitty smirk

[leftchick]

9. Will be taking questions as well....

from that brutal WH press corps... :eyes:

[Pirate Smile]

11. They will be able to ask questions based on what Kerry said at his

press conference. That should be interesting. He doesn't like to have his authority questioned. Who would dare do that to the little king.

[irancontra]

12. "enormous blow" says Allawi

Shrub's ears perked up. Speaking of blow..... ;P

[irancontra]

13. STRANGE-HOLD!! lol!

rove's words peer thru the thin-lipped allawi.

[Pirate Smile]

15. Hmmm, we should find out exactly who his speech writers are? He sure

has the B/C campaign talking points down. Well, they did give him his job.

This is going to win him a lot of points back in Iraq.

[girl gone mad]

21. Allawi's doing a great job..

Lip synching to Rove.

[Roland99]

14. Bush looks like King Dork standing there listening to AlLIEwi

[Roland99]

16. Anyone think we'll get honest answers to any of these press questions?

[Roland99]

20. OMG!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

Reporter: "Why haven't we found Zarqawi?"

Bush: "Zarqawi has an effective weapon...uh....terruh"

[irancontra]

18. He Hides... *smirk

[spanone]

19. Blowing smoke up each other's asses. resolve resolve resolves

Well I resolve to vote his ass right out of office.

[Guaranteed]

23. They got nothing whatsoever.

We have problems, and Shrub refuses to address them. He equates solving problems with "backing down," and that just ain't the case.

[Roland99]

24. How many times has he repeated...

"It's hard work...it's tough work...everyone knows that."


Now he's bashing Kerry by saying "mixed messages" hurt our troops...Bush is leading from clarity.


Clarity? Clarity of what?


He's speaking in talking points and cliches and the Busheep will eat it up!

[Guaranteed]

25. Kerry's message trumps Bush's.

If this is all Bush has, we can look forward to a new president.

[Algorem]

28. The "mixed messages" is his veiled way of saying Kerry is aiding the 'ter-

rorists'.Wrong is scum.

[Guaranteed]

27. WOW...tough question from the CNN correspondent. nt

[Guaranteed]

29. HOLY CRAP the guy's ARGUING WITH BUSH!!!!

GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE!!!!!

This shit just got good!!

[Pirate Smile]

33. He is from NBC. It's Gregory - the one * slammed in France for

asking a question in French to the French PM.

* talking about reality. Haaa Haaa. Reality is this PM here.

They want questions from Iraqi press but can't find any. So * yells for CBS.

[Guaranteed]

35. That's right, thought I was watching CNN for a second. nt

[librechik]

38. "What's your name?" Bush says--he's like Mr Burns, can't remember

Homer!

[elperromagico]

30. David Gregory: "I don't think you answered the question, Mr. President"

Looked like Bush was about to go off the deep end.

[Guaranteed]

32. Wasn't that the most unbelievable thing???

My freaking jaw just DROPPED.

"Do you understand why the American people may not believe you (about America being safer after this war)?"

[elperromagico]

37. Bush is just *desperate* to get some questions from the Iraqi press.

I'd forgotten what it looks like to see a President meet with a hostile press corps.

[librechik]

42. ha ha, no Iraq press there! Oops! Sovereignty issue! n/t

[Roland99]

49. No doubt!

Where's this press been for the last 2 years????

[girl gone mad]

31. David Gregory just nailed Bush..

that was hilarious.

He asked Bush if he could understand why Americans didn't agree with him when he said the war in Iraq made us safer. Bush responded "no!" and then went on to say that anyone who thought we weren't safer with Saddam gone was crazy.

Then Gregory did a follow up and said he hadn't answered the question, and Bush just repeated the same garbage.

[Guaranteed]

34. We all need to write NBC and say THANK YOU

for representing the interest of the AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!

[Guaranteed]

40. I just wrote mine, asked the person who received it to forward it

to Gregory's boss. Praised him all over the place for his journalistic integrity.

[Algorem]

36. Wrong tried to stop tough questions by insisting on letting another Iraqi

ask a question,but there was only one,the one that already asked one.What a doofus.

[Pirate Smile]

39. Bwhaaa. * said the right track-wrong track numbers are higher

in Iraq than here in America.

Yeah, more Iraqi's think things are going well in Iraq then Americans think things are going well here.

Good point, Bushie.

[MallRat]

41. Major gaffe, served on a silver platter.

MoveOn? Media Fund? Anyone?

I SMELL A NEW TELEVISION AD!!!

-MR

[Sparkly]

43. Yes, that was GREAT, as was "it's hard to be optimistic"

Keep tawkin', George!!

[Francine Frensky]

47. UNBELEIVABLE!!! I can't believe he said that and LAUGHED about it

kind of like he was saying, hah, all you losers think things are so bad in Iraq, but, look, Americans think things are going WORSE here!!!! Hahahahahaha...

wait a minute.....

[girl gone mad]

44. I predict this event is going to go over like a lead balloon.

58% of the people want a change in direction, and Bush is just promising to "stay the course". He's so obviously out of touch or in denial with what's happening in Iraq, and Allawi is completely contrading his prior statements.

Bush is talking up the nation building angle, but how many Americans are truly on the same page?

[BootinUp]

51. Its similar in some ways to why his daddy lost

Those stubborn Bushies! :D

[Sparkly]

45. "S'why I gotta be as clearly as I can"

:eyes:

[SpecialK84]

48. I caught that

I was just about to post it too. How perfect.



Right as the conference was ending I did channel surfing and ABC had Kerry's rebuttal, I was surprised.

[Pirate Smile]

46. "Iraqi people want to vote, they want freedom." Listening to him

talking about people voting, as if he has encouraged voting rights and making sure all votes should count makes my head want to explode.

[Richardson08]

50. What a dog and pony show

[siliconefreak]

52. For your viewing pleasure...

Looks like it's on C-SPAN's streaming video now (under "Recent Video"):
