The Bush press conference: a complete transcript?

[scottcsmith]

This may have been posted previously, so my apologies if this is a repeat. Does anyone know of a transcript of Bush's Tuesday press conference that covers everything Bush said, including his stammering and frequent use of "uhm" and "and uhm?"

1. I thought some childrens book company

Had to proof read it first?

2. I have the transcript

No "uhms" though. I found it in NYT.com, but if it's been pulled or restricted, PM me and I will email it to you.

4. Thanks

I'm working on a column about the press conference. Sean Hannity said Bush was "articulate," which means Sean Hannity does not know what the word means.

On a serious note, without actually viewing and transcribing the event yourself, I don't know if you'll find such a transcript. The WH one cleans up all the "uhs", and most press outlets just use that one.

The WH DOES keep it pretty much verbatim otherwise. But it's amazing how rational such nonsense as his stammering, confused answer to the "responsibility" question sound when read after the pauses, the "uhs", the dazed and panicked looks... are removed.

I'm referring here to the one where he ended up saying "Here's what I think about that. Osama Bin Laden is the one who's responsible..." after interminably rambling on searching for an answer.
