Bush invents new term for airline passengers...."air traffickers"
during yesterday's Rose Lawn meltdown.

"But reporters' questions further snarled the Bush syntax. NBC's David Gregory got him to say "My concern, David, is several," CBS's Bill Plante got him to mention "suiciders," while Bloomberg News's Ed Chen elicited the phrase "air traffickers" in lieu of airline passengers."

4. Right. All of us are smuggling a gel of one sort or another that could be made into an explosive,
given the know how and enough time spent in the john heating and mixing things.

6. Hasn't it already started with the rise in CO2 levels?
Maybe Halliburton is planning to sell oxygen?

7. "My concern, David, is several."
Edited on Wed Apr-04-07 02:36 PM by Rob H.
Selected quotes from the Chimperor:

"The reinforcements we've sent to Baghdad are having a impact."

"...if Congress fails to pass a bill I can sign by mid-April..."

and a few seconds later,

"If Congress fails to pass a bill I can sign by mid-May..."

"And I believe, whether it be in Afghanistan, or in Iraq, or anywhere else, if these enemy are able to find safe haven, it will endanger the lives of our fellow citizens."

*sigh* I miss the good old days, way back when we had a president who could actually speak English. :banghead:

Did he have the questions beforehand? This question makes me wonder. "Let's see here -- Baker, Baker. Are you here? Yes, there you are."

And here's one that should make his head explode from the irony of him saying it: "It's one thing to send a message; it's another thing to have the person receiving the message actually do something." Go take a look in the mirror, dumbass. American voters sent a message: get us the hell out of Iraq. And so far, you've done nothing.
