When he stepped off the copter today, Bush looked more somber, more subdued than he ever has before. He thus set the stage for the press conference.
Be prepared for something completely different.
Pure bullshit, but different.
**Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Same old bullshit.
Sorry. I thought that even this moron would know when it’s time to take a different tack.

Wow this press conference is trippy. He is literally rambling away.
We’re all doomed.
DOOMED!
This is sort of what i was reaching for, altho I think “poopyhead” is a lot flashier.
I am concerned because, speaking as a really talented bald faced liar, I would draw the line way before dub does, simply in fear that the metacommunication of my venture into the truly blue sky areas of reality twisting would be to betray a total lack of respect for any possibility that the listener had the sense god gave a goose, (as they say)
In this light, it IS a little like the addict who pisses bad, and starts telling a story about how someone spiked his soda with the offending substance, egtc
It reminds me too much of John fwhathisname’s compulsive liar…
Everythings great in Iraq, yeah, that’s the ticket.
(I had been wondering exactly what the difference between Great Ds and the Pit was, now i know., I noticed that I felt that the pit was somewhat more congenial to my personal style)
I’m not talking about a master conspiracy - like the Illuminati or bottled water 
-but rather a political strategy. (Okay, my post was a wee bit hyperbolic. It’s how I talk, it’s how I write.)
But I do believe that there are politicians who want to run for office, and then there’s the political machine. If the two coincide, grand. Ultimately, however, the goal is to get A Democrat or A Republican in the office or in the majority in Congress. It seems apparent to me that Bush was a strategically effective suit that could win. A stragecially effective suit that took some convincing to undertake the task. I think he swooned at the idea of being The President of The United States, and allowed himself to be led. I can imagine being the leader of the free world is a seductive idea to a reluctant shill. (Arg. I’m trying not to sound all conspiracy theory-ied! Damn you, chardonnay! DAMN YOU!)
I just don’t see where he’s smart enough, experienced enough, or politically ambitious enough to have wanted this/gone after this on his own. I think he would’ve been happy with the Governor’s office for another term, and let it be at that.
So, to answer the OP’s question, I think he’s a greedy, thoughtless, self-aggrandizing sack of shit. And the sooner we make it clear that there are a whole lot of us out here that have not been fooled, and will no longer stand for this administration to act in our name, the better.
Did anybody else have the image of the Praetorian Guard discovering Claudius Germanicus cowering behind the drapes.
Hey, the handle says it all. A guy whose claim to fame is stabbing his friend in the back.
I mean, would YOU want to be played by James Mason? You know that James Mason always plays the creep don’t you?
(I, on the other hand, should be played by Jack Palance. Actually, Jack did Attila the Hun, but i would be proud, proud I say…)
If it did not make your blood run cold to hear (from his own lips!)how the unbearable pressure of a press conference caused him to experience brain-freeze, then you have never walked into a class you’d been cutting for a few weeks and discovered it was pop quiz day.
Think how panic and anxiety overtook you;
how your bowels turned to water and your bladder turned to stone
(I have no idea what that last part means, but it sure scans…)
That’s how this moron is anytime he has to perform under pressure, (Like, say if a person were the POTUS)
Your tax dollars at work…

You accuse Bush of spinning yet provide no cite nor prove him incorrect. I therefore conclude that your hatred is blind. As such, the value of your opinion is vastly diminished.

What part of “unspoken major premise” did you not understand?
-
When you see such a man, you may be certain of at least two things:
a. He is flexible
b. He is curious
After tonight’s press conference, all three.
I’ve never held a president in more contempt before. That includes Nixon and LBJ, which is saying something. (Not saying Bush is worse, so far, than either of those two, just saying he’s capable of far worse than those two were, which is quite a thought.)
See, it’s stuff like this that sets back my Twelve Step Tin Foil Rehab Program.
Because when I put on that seductive, shiny, beanie, i ask myself, in Pantom’s vein,
What might be the outer limits of this man’s villainy.
We already know he will use methods of mob violence (on his OWN PEOPLE) and judicial corruption to gain his ends (Election 2000…)
He has shown the intent to steal, subborn and subvert. and he has stealing subborning and subverting program activities buried in his back yard to be resurrected at need, (ya feelin me?)
So how far would he go , if it looked like gods chosen champion was about to be sent back to crawford and brush clearing?
Would he shrug and be the gracious loser?
Or would he undertake to “save” the country from the deluded and/or possessed electorate?
D-i-e-b-o-l-d.
Nothing else will be necessary.
I would therefore put you in the camps of the optimists.
That is to say, the election will be stealable, therefore they will hold and steal it.
Well and good, I say. A stolen election is a polite election.
My worry is the UNSTEALABLE election
ie, one where the polls are like 70/30 dem, so there’s no way the exit polls wont bust you for rigging the machines.
Then, do they go for plan B?
Hmm.
All I have to say is, my wife’s a legal resident of Mexico, so my exit plan’s in place. Do thou likewise.

Of course, you can’t beat pesos for a favorable rate of exchange, either.
The guy can’t answer questions.
Johnny Newspaperman: Mr President, we learned today you hired a crew of 5 guys to paint your barn green. Can you confirm the colour of your newly painted barn and a crew of five, in fact, did paint it.
Bush: Well John, let me answer your question. Last year I consulted with Condie about the best colour for the barn. On May of 2003 I received a PDB on barn colour choices, which stated red and natural stains were the choices of the season. Let me tell you how I run my office. heh heh. We,. I, I, I, I don’t listen to polls. Ummm… We have to remember the pain and suffering the loved ones of Sept 11th endured, and continue to endure everyday. The choices I make rely on good information. I can’t be expected to make a decision without accurate information to back it up.
Getting on to your second part of the question,. umm,… t-t-t-there was a barn painting committee in which Condie and several others,. there,… umm,… Let me put it this way. On Sept 11th our country faced a huge threat from people who hate us. This is the reason we liberated the Iraqi people and freed them from the enslavement of Saddam. Before the barn was painted we weren’t on a war footing, now we are.
Next question… Dan.
Dan Newsboy: Thank you Mr President. Is it true you can not touch your index finger to your nose?
Bush: Dan, you wouldn’t believe how many time I’ve been asked that. Right now we are setting up a task force to investigate this question. Condie, Rumsfeld and Powell,. And,. Um… Myself just talked about this today. I believe I partly answered this question before in my answer to John. This country wasn’t on war footing, now we are. We can’t forget what happened on Sept 11th and the loss of live on that day. Everytime I think about placing my index finger on my nose I remember the loved ones of those lost on Sept 11th. In fact, during a Purple Heart ceremony I was greeted by people who were excited about what we are doing… I,. We,. Umm… We’re changing the world. Today. Now. These young men asked,. Um… Told me they were excited about getting back to their troops.
Thank you,. Next question. Judy.
Judy Reporterviki: Mr President, Last summer you dropped your dog on it’s head. How is the dog doing today.
Bush: Heh heh, well,. I,. We have to remember that last summer we weren’t on a war footing, but now we are. When the doggie landed on it’s head I was reminded of the loved ones lost,. Err,. The families of the loved ones lost on Sept 11th. Blahblah blah blah, blah, blah Blahblah blah blah, blah, blah Blahblah blah blah, blah, blah Blahblah blah blah, blah, blah Blahblah blah blah, blah, blah.
My wife is currently getting her nurse license in Canada. I have family there as well. We should be moved up there by this time next year.
If you really want to accurately spoof Dubya, you should blame Clinton.
No, that’s Ashcroft’s turf. Don’t go there.
