Breaking: Bush on Meet The Press This Sunday!!!!

[BeatleBoot]

Norah O'Donnell on Hardball speaking now on MSRNC

This Sunday..the chimp on MTP with Tim Russert

[Demonaut]

no, a terror alert will disrupt his schedule or something else

[mouse7]

58. If I wanna watch big time softballs being thrown...

I'll watch Dot Richardson throw them.

[rocktivity]

83. The very fact that he'll be on the show IS a terror alert!

rocknation

[SilasSoule]

1. What do think ole Timmy will be throwin'

slow pitch or fast pitch?




..

[agingdem]

2. The Timster...

will be throwing snowballs...soft, mushy ones.

[saigon68]

76. Like---why is Al Quaida evil?

Or---- Are we making progress in the Mid-east?

Or---- Are you glad YOU captured Sadam?

Or---- Why are Businesses overjoyed about the economy?

Or---- Why should America support soldiers in the armed forces?

Or---- Are we safer in the world with Sadam in jail?

Feel free to add more

These questions will allow him to lie spin etc. I could teach my grandson to answer them in a republican fashion in a couple of hours.

We will hear the term "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" at least 30 times.

And epithets like THUGS, MURDERERS etc. non-stop

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Nerf...

Potatoface Russert will be lobbing B-I-G spongy Nerf balls - all brightly colored so there's no chance dipshit can miss 'em...

[LiberalFighter]

30. Brightly colored as in Homeland Security Alert?

[AlinPA]

15. It will be scripted with teleprompter.

No way will he be grilled like all the Dems are.

[dArKeR]

20. Junior can't think without a teleprompter. And the Dems. should point this

out!

I think Kerry did a good job of implying Chimpy is incompetent during the THs.

[Just Me]

53. He will NEVER grill wimpy like he did Dean,...let's take a bet!!!

Just kidding,...we would all be in the same pool *LOL*!!!!

Ohhhhh,...but, wouldn't it be lovely if he did grill him with that kind of vigor.

Will never happen, of course,....NEVER!!!

BUT, the benefit of softness aimed at Jr. will contrast with the hardness aimed at Dean,....and,....the public will get that!!!!


<edited - cause I wanted to ;)>

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. Nerf Balls, but the country is now POed...

so if Tim does that, he can kiss his career good bye.

So maybe, just maybe, a sense of preservation will take over

If the boy keeps on smirking, that is the end for the boy.

Teh country is ANGRY

[PaDUer]

43. Wouldn't it be great....

if Phil Berg, Ellen Mariani's atty, was also on the show!! I'd LOVE to see * be questioned about 911 on national tv...wouldn't that be the icing on the cake!

[SammyWinstonJack]

87. Lonesome Rhodes

Chimpy needs to have a "Lonesome Rhodes" moment on MTP where he reveals while he thinks the camera aren't on him, how he really feels about us lowly 'Muricans and how he has been playing us for fools all along. Bet that would be his political undoing. :evilgrin:

[Bob3]

51. T-Ball - with a nerf ball to boot

N/T

[proud patriot]

3. little bushie acting defensive Ha ha ...GOOD !

hee hee .... :D

[Beetwasher]

4. Beginning of a Major Propoganda Offensive

Beginning w/ Tenet tomorrow. I'm sure there's more coming.

Bush will attempt to be his aww shucks good ol' TX boy and not answer a single question appropriately or directly. I smell an abomination coming on.

[BeatleBoot]

7. Exactly, Exactly

Bush is in deep shit politically, this is the offensive to dig him out.

[Gman]

40. Again, Exactly

They've been back on their heels for the last 2 or 3 weeks. You knew they had to come out with some damage control. They had to come out with some kind of offensive.

Its like a boxing match. We're floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Our message comes from so many directions that they can't hit what they can't see!

[aquart]

47. They did it to us, first.

Fouled up so much you didn't know where to look or where to step.

How is it possible for an administration to refuse to do one single decent thing for anyone who doesn't have ten million dollars?

[efhmc]

52. Please, I beg of you, do not call bush the T word. Texan., that is.Thanks.

This real Texan thinks her state and now her country will never recover from his brand of evil.

[Norquist Nemesis]

67. The Campaign has begun

and let's not forget that there are primaries on Saturday. He keeps stealing time/attention from Dems at every turn and it's not working...and they're surprised?

[Emillereid]

5. It'll be interesting just to see the soft, gentle side of Russert!

Should be called the Metamorphosis of Meet the Press. He'll probably turn into a puff-ball right before our eyes.

[Beetwasher]

8. I Think We Might Perhaps See a Full Blown

Sloppy, slavering wet french kiss as they pet each other over their suits...

[teryang]

13. Russert will be on his knees the whole time

He's good at talking with his mouth full.

[Catshrink]

55. Heck, that's what I was going to say....

Timmy will be fawning all over the little bastard.

[calimary]

86. Just look for the stains on the blue dress - OOPS - I mean suit.

[coldwatercyn]

39. French kiss?

Don't you mean Freedom Kiss!!!

[TheDebbieDee]

54. LOLOLOLOLOL

[Lostmessage]

93. LOL

Can you imagine the bank account that Russert is being given to kiss *'s ass.

[0007]

9. Thanks for the warning!

[salinen]

12. This will be way more obscene

than JJ's boob.

[lostnfound]

10. Like George Will, Russert will give him the questions days in advance.

His handlers will read them aloud to W.

[movonne]

11. Who else loves Bush more than Russert and co. He is safe there...

[Devil Dog Dem]

14. Can broadcast TV show fellatio being performed?

Because that is what Tim will be doing to Shrub, performing fellatio on him!

[UpInArms]

16. can all of the Secret Service personnel

fit within the building?

didn't he have to have something like 8000 at Buckingham Palace?

This is disgusting (by the way).

I don't think I want an infomercial for this pig on anyone's television screen.

[wryter2000]

17. Oh, Right

Gee, Mr. President, I'm in awe of having you here. Found any WMD's? Well, of course, you haven't. We all know Saddam sent them to Syria. So, who do you like to win the pennant this year?

[Art_from_Ark]

81. Bring back Lawrence Spivak!

Now THERE was a man who knew how to host Meet the Press. Unfortunately, the late Mr. Spivak is no longer with us, but even in his present condition he could run rings around Mr. Russert.

[grasswire]

18. for the full hour?

Or for a little three minute segment?

[BeatleBoot]

21. Full hour - I think

Not certain...I was busy posting thread...

[LibDemAlways]

19. List of WH approved questions that Tim the Whore will ask the chimp:

1. How is Mrs. Bush?

2. What do you think of this weather?

3. Did you enjoy your breakfast this morning?

4. How are your folks?

5. The viewers would love to meet your dog. Could you have someone bring him in?

6. Gee, I wish we had more time, but we've got to sign off. Would it be all right for us to return another time?

[jdunn]

38. Chucky

As he does at his unscripted press conferences, Cyrano de Rove will be directing Bush through an earpiece. Chucky will only be visible when his bug-eyed visage peeks out from under the table, either to come up for air or announce a break; then he will return dutifully to his urgent business at the Presidential Fly.

[cybildisobedience]

41. you forgot the classic

"How does your faith sustain you during this trying time of Democrats actually acting like the opposition party?"

[coldwatercyn]

46. I bet Timmy goes to the White House

just in case NBC has pretzels in the green room.

[MidwestTransplant]

22. I guarantee Bush brings a Bills jersey or something

dumb like that.

[Kool Kitty]

23. Think that this misadministration is a little

bit afraid of W's slumping poll numbers and general lack of any credibility? I'd say so, judging by this particular manuever. Not that Timmy is going to ask him a probing question or anything, but I think they are a little nervous. They should be.

[BeatleBoot]

32. Exactly!

[Southsideirish]

24. Hmmmmm.... gwb must be really hurting to go on MTP - the #'s

must be astonishingly bad. How can we keep Russert's feet to the fire and prevent his natural inclination to genuflect?

[snippy]

34. I agree. This is damage control.

Turd Blossom Rove probably thought Bush still would be basking in the afterglow of the SOTU.

[Malva Zebrina]

25. why does this strike me as funny?

:shrug:

No way is this idiot going to submit to any embarrassing predicaments and no way is anyone going to put him into that predicament.

This is all puff and puff stuff. It is more of the staged event photo op type thing.

[Trajan]

26. I wonder ...

Will Russert ask him POINT BLANK about His AWOL issue ? ...

Will Bush be honest ? ...

This holds immense peril for the Boy King: ..

NEVER let your defendant take the stand ....

[leftchick]

75. I agree Trajan..... immense peril!

They must be desperate to let chimpy* off his chain. He is looking very bad these days. I don't expect any hard questions from Timmy at all. That will be what makes people think. Why didn't tim ask about...???

[emalejim9]

27. Let's make sure chimpy does not get those questions...

I just sent the following to this address for Meet the Press,

[e-mail]

Tim - I just heard the latest that Mr. Bush is going to be on your show Sunday and its clear that the administration is in pure damage control with the momentum of John Kerry and the latest poll numbers. As a result, I expect the administration may come to NBC with specific questions to ask Mr. Bush and push for the release of questions prior to the interview. If such the case, I expect NBC to deny this request on the basis of fair reporting and the credibility of your interview.

Thank you, a true patriot.


C'mon all, time to make an assult on their inbox.

[aquart]

49. Okay, here's mine:

We're taking bets that Mr. Russert lofts airy meringues instead of hard questions.

Also that Mr. Bush will be wearing an earpiece so Mr. Rove can properly instruct his answers.

This is Mr. Russert's opportunity to be an American instead of a Republican lapdog that licks his masters and yaps incessantly at everyone else.

[calimary]

88. Here's my email

Is Tim Russert finally going to be a watchdog instead of a lapdog, in his upcoming interview with Bush? Or will he just be throwing softballs? Powder puffs, maybe?

I know Russert can be a tough questioner, but he saves that toughness for the Democrats. I'd like to see him give the "Howard Dean" treatment to the arrogant thug in OUR White House. Is he going to confront Bush on ANY of his lies, deceits, double-dealings, crony-isms, and potentially traitorous secretiveness (WHO OUTED VALERIE PLAME????? Gonna ask him about THAT???) But knowing Russert's track record as a sycophant for the right and attack dog against the left, I won't hold my breath.

(signed)
ANOTHER angry Democrat - there are WAY more of us than you realize.

[murielm99]

70. I e-mailed Timmy.

I told him to be a man. I asked him to show us he was not a pretend journalist.

I don't think he will.

[calimary]

89. "Tim" is aptly named. Short for TIMID.

[MoonAndSun]

28. It most likely will be a taped interview, no way Rove will let

monkeyboy do this interview live. They will allow Timmy boy to ask maybe one semi-hard question, everything else will be "How's Laura?" type stuff.

[TacticalPeek]

35. You got it. Taped.

Plenty of breaks for near-beer, coaching, then judicious editing.

I may just wait for the highlight reel.

[Karenina]

80. Yeah but imagine

a couple thousand Vets, accompanied by any and/or all of the Democratic candidates, senators, congresscritters (to insure the cops don't start pushing folks around unnecessarily), everybody's got photocopies of their military records, signs, buttons and bumper stickers, all gather in the closest "free speech zone" to the TV studio with whistles, bullhorns drums, chanting in unison, "Dubya, Dubya, Dubya, WHERE WERE YOU IN 72?" Oh yeah, and don't forget the sea of flags.

[mike1963]

29. Looks like Mike Powell has given NBC the green light to show a couple

guys blowing each other. So much for the Jackson thing...
:eyes:

[TacticalPeek]

31. aWol goes to Timmy to get gobs of K-Y to be applied to

his NG AWOL, phantom WMD, budget hole, immigration, etc.

Russert will have ONE follow-up prepared for each of these, that sounds challenging but for which Shrub is completely prepared to deflect, and that's that.

Russert is afraid of breaking the Boy King.

[coldwatercyn]

48. I hope Timmy shows

The pictures Powell used at the UN and asks,"what made you think this was real?"...or "Remember those phone calls Powell used between the two Iraqi's regarding WMDs, come on, that was really Rummy and Pearle doing crank yankers, right?"

[snippy]

33. My email to Russert

Dear Mr. Russert:

What is the over-under on the number of lies president Bush will tell on his upcoming appearance on Meet the Press?

Is it true that Karl Rove is writing the questions you will ask?

Will you freedom kiss the president's ass on camera or off?

Sincerely,

Snippy W. Shrub

[Deb]

36. What could be more compelling than

bush's thoughts on professional athletic steroid abuse and planetary exploration? I can't wait. :eyes:

[snippy]

37. Maybe Bush will explain that he meant

professional athletic steroid abuse program related activites and planetary exploration program related activites? He also probably will talk about deficit reduction program related activites.

[Bozita]

44. Does Russert have to turn in his questions before noon Thursday?

just like at a "real" press conference.

[alittlelark]

45. My letter to MTP is polite...

Tim and Staff,

I heard that the President was going to be on MTP. I am happy to hear that he will be on your show to discuss the lack of WMD's, intelligence failures, and the state of the country.

It will be OBVIOUS to any thinking person if GWB was given the questions in advance, or if he is allowed to use a teleprompter.

I sincerely hope that your show, and your network will not allow such a thing to occur.

A faithful viewer


:evilgrin:

[markses]

50. Is White House T-BALL season starting early?

That disgraceful Tim Russert chooses to make himself even more ridiculous for history. He'll be a laughingstock whore in the history of journalism.

[Manix]

56. You can bet Karl Rove will get the questions in advance so he can

write the answers for the Crawford Clown.

[Yavin4]

57. Bush Will Probably Rip Tim Russert's Shirt

exposing his man-boob to the nation.

[buycitgo]

61. DAMN YOU!

I got all the way here, hoping to post almost the exact, same thing as you!

spoiled my fun.

I was going to use "big aMERican breast," though

[PartyPooper]

59. The BEST part of all is knowing George I and Barbara will be watching

their idiot son babbling away defending himself from the AWOL / desertion charges, etc.. (like they were tonight when Tom Brokaw discussed this on the NBC evening "news".)

So, the elder Shrubs will be stewing in their juices, once and for all. I love it!

:smoke:

[opihimoimoi]

60. Yup, Crunch time. Sending in the only one who can stem the tide

The First Idiot.

He will try to staunch the bleeding the Pubs are taking on the polls.

Will he succeed?? Only time will tell. What are the odds? That we will see a Queeg meltdown?? Who knows.

Oh well. I got the Pepsi and popcorn.

[buycitgo]

62. they're going to have to edit the CRAP out of this.....

to avoid providing plenty o'cannon fodder for the campaign.

he simply CAN'T speak without a script for any significant amount of time.

just remember, in those tiny tiny press conferences following Annan and the Polish PM, he couldn't avoid LYING about the inspectors not being allowed in by Saddam

no matter HOW hard they try to polish this turd, all the bits and pieces of corn, pretzel, other undigestible fibrous material (OK, I know pretzels digest, but you get the idea) will be poking out of the giant, steaming cesspile that is the essence of our chief squatter, and there's NO way they can cover it up.

no possible way.

don't see HOW this is going to help them

they must be REALLY REALLY desparate, and I'll bet potatohead is also feeling intense pressure to do a good job as his Goebbels on Sunday.

[opihimoimoi]

63. Yup, the Shrub is Toast.

[buycitgo]

64. French toast?

or freedom toast?

how do you like it buttered, m'sieur?

[grasswire]

66. my letter

Mr. Russert:

The people of the planet will be judging YOU when you host George W. Bush. The hot seat is yours, not his. Will you adhere to the ethics of your profession? Or will you be part of a propaganda machine?

You can redeem yourself or sell your soul. The people of the planet will not be fooled.

Choose wisely.

[frank frankly]

68. great letter

I'll be writing Timmy a letter this week.

He grilled all the Dem Nominees with his gotcha quotes.

He better give Dubya a few tough ones.

That POS better.

[wildwww2]

77. I know this. My wifes 5th graders answer questions better than Usurper Boy

does. He is a mess all of the time. If he could not pull off a state of the union address after three years of experience in office. What makes this any easier? Watching him and Russert felate each other with not float his fraudulent self any higher in the water than the sad state of the union speech did. That is my opinion. And I hope I am proven correct.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[murielm99]

71. They did that?

You mean the elder shrub and wifey were on, defending their little heir? Really?

Please tell me what happened. I missed the not-the-news tonight. I was visiting someone in the hospital.

[Enraged_Ape]

65. Will Russert use his teeth, or just do that flickery tongue thing?

They got so upset at CBS for showing a naked breast during the Super Bowl. Now NBC is showing freaking FELLATIO on the Sabbath. What is this world coming to?

[Manix]

69. ...LOL!!!....good point

nt

[radfringe]

72. yawn....going to a puff and fluff show

lots of stroking with pre-approved and prepared questions

smirk-boy has been 'practicing' his answers all week

[bushwakker]

73. Softball...with Tim Russert

[joanski01]

74. When Russert interviews

Bush*, Bush* will be in the Oval Office and not the studio. I'm sure teleprompters will be all over the place. Carl Rove will probably be under the desk. I agree with one of the above posters that it will be Timmy who is in the Hot Seat.

[gristy]

78. Russert should go to DC

but he won't.

[noonwitch]

79. I think Jon Stewart would do a better interview.

At least he'd make Bush look as stupid as he is.

[cboy4]

82. Considering Bush recently said he

doesn't even watch TV, I'm guessing
he's confused as usual and believes
Meet The Press is actually on his
favorite network, Faux.

[banana republican]

84. Can Move on Show their AD...

Just asking???

[Dr Fate]

85. Do the tax-payers have to buy Tim's knee-pads?

???

[plcdude]

90. my email to MTP

I think the American public expects that the interview with Mr. Bush will be of the same standards as those used with others who visit Meet the Press. The interview should be about issues of great concern, e.g. WMD as the chief rationale for a pre-emptive war, the budget deficit, the unemployment rate, etc. I think we expect this interview to be conducted extemporaneously and not pre-packaged in any way such as taped or providing the questions before hand. It is extremely important that this inteview be an honest, straight-forward, and substantive experience. This interview is not so much about what Mr. Bush says but more about what Mr Russert asks on our behalf. If it appears that the interview does not challenge the interviewee (as is the case and purpose of every interview) then NBC will have replaced CBS for the most offensive offering to the American public to date. If I am in error in assuming that any of the above is the way this interview will go, then please let me know so that I and as many people that I can contact will not waste our time tuning in. Thank you.

[Tracer]

91. Don't Worry about Softball Questions.

In EVERY public appearance, whether it's a "press conference", a statement with world leaders, an off-the-cuff remark or a television "interview" — something slimy oozes out of SmirkBoy's piehole.

Just think back a few weeks to the Diane Sawyer interview when after pressing him on the issue of WMDs, Mr. Sack-O-Shit angrily blurted out "What's the difference!!!" (whether there were WMDs in Iraq or not).

I think that display of indifference and stupidity was the worst thing that I've ever seen from * — although when it comes to appallingly idiotic statements, it's pretty hard to choose the worst.

[TNOE]

92. What Difference Does It Make?

I would love to see Russert piss off Bush* ala Diane Sawyer so he can make another beady-eyed vicious stupid insane comment.

[Panda1]

94. All fake....to be taped Saturday...

....in the Oval Office and then shown on Sunday. Yet another lie. All gaffs and "errors" will be fixed before it airs. Just more bullshit from lieboy. Russert is a whore par excellance.
