Does Bush take us for fools? Says he doesn't remember if he talked to Saudi king about rape case

[Poiuyt]

CNN’s Ed Henry pressed the president on the matter at this morning’s White House press conference.

Q: Thank you. Another issue — on another issue of credibility in the Mideast, at the Annapolis summit, you used your influence to get Saudi Arabia to the table. But I wonder whether now you will use your influence to do something about the Saudi rape case that’s gotten so much international attention. What goes through your mind when you hear about a 19-year-old Saudi women getting gang-raped by seven men and basically a Saudi court blames the victim and sentenced her to 200 lashes? You spoke to King Abdullah by telephone in the last couple of weeks. Did you press him on this case? If so, what did you say? And if not, are you giving him a pass?

BUSH: My first thoughts were these: What happens if this happened to my daughter? How would I react? And I would have been — I would have been — I’d have been very emotional, of course. I’d have been angry at those who committed the crime, and I’d be angry at a state that didn’t support the victim. And our opinions were expressed by Dana Perino from the podium and –

Q: But did you press King Abdullah about it, personally?

BUSH: I talked to King Abdullah about the Middle Eastern peace. I don’t remember if that subject came up.

How could you not remember that conversation? Be a man, George. If you didn't ask him, just say so.

1. He was to busy kissing him and holding

his hand.

2. I suspect most of Bush's time and energy in office

Is spent trying to keep his lies updated.

3. Just living with himself takes all his energy. God - I hate him so. N/T

4. Translation: it wasn't important

Bush** condones torture. Why would he care about Saudi Arabia's perverted justice?

5. Answer: yes he does.

7. His response was despicable on so many levels...

It was very clear (Mike Malloy played the audio clip of this) by his tone and hesitation in responding he had not given ONE SECOND of thought to the issue/travesty at all. The only reason he could respond at all was because Henry fleshed out the controversy enough for bush to use his daughters, in the most crass way, imo, to try and pretend he had empathy when it was obvious he had NONE.

His respond to the follow-up question/s make it very clear it was NEVER an area of discussion that was even contemplated by anyone in this administration. To them, it would be like making a big issue over spilled milk, it was DESPICABLE, imo.

8. being the subhuman he is, I think * knows what rape is.

another 'uncomfortable' moment for him, like talking about human emotion where he stalls like a 1942 John Deere compared to the animated happy joyjoy when talking about death and destruction.

9. He said he does not remember.

End of question. Heehehehehe. Works every time with a conference of presstitutes.
