SHIT!!!! Did any of you guys hear that!!!!

[skypilot]

I'm was listening to AirAmerica news and they had a segment about a press conference Bush did. Apparently, he chastised a reporter for not obeying the "one question rule". Bush said that the reporter obviously hadn't "listened to the will of the people". So, apparently "the people" don't want reporters asking the president more than one question. When did THAT come up for a vote?!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. He's gone insane. Much like Hitler.

God help us.

[donhakman]

2. He gloated and reamed the press

He even told them they had obviously never really listened to his speeches.

[T Bone]

7. the question should be WILL YOU BE HOLDING More press conferences

see what he had to say about that. They could promise to ask one question if he would hold more press conferences.

[skypilot]

13. More press conferences.

Yeah, that'll happen. We should place bets on just how many press conferences he will give in the next four years. How many did he give during his first term? The number during his second term will probably be even lower.

[arewenotdemo]

31. FUCK the press conferences

we don't need to hear the fuck at all

[thecrow]

36. I got this from an AP report on the changes that * will make...

"The president seemed relaxed as he took questions, the uncertainty of a hardfought campaign behind him. He joked with reporters at several points and asked for a show of hands on how many of them would stay in their jobs while he remained in his."

This sounds like he's planning to get rid of the reporters that cast him in a bad light? Or do I need a tinfoil break?

:tinfoilhat:

[Beetwasher]

3. You MUST OBEY Your Republican Overlords!

It's god's will...

[skypilot]

5. God's will.

Then I just went from being an agnostic to being an atheist.

[shance]

18. Like FUCK we should. You MUST OBEY YOUR inner truth.

Get tough. Don't fear them.

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

4. i heard that

egotistical fool trying to be funny grrr

[charlie]

6. Expect more

We let him off his leash with the election. He's going to be beyond insufferable from here out. And the poodle press will heel and obey, the chumps.

[Gut Check]

8. The whole administration has a problem with secrecy and concealment. n/t

[Sparkly]

9. I expect him to start wearing a crown any day now. n/t

[Vickers]

21. lol

That would actually be kinda funny.

Scary, but funny.

[alfredo]

25. He is putting a gold one on the ceiling of

the Lincoln bedroom.

[Straight Shooter]

10. Well, they bought him the whip. They deserve the lashing.

eom

[Individualist]

16. Indeed!

The media created this monster, now let them suffer the consequences!

[slappypan]

11. "L'etat, c'est moi."

Does he use the royal "we"?

[dicknbush]

12. If the press had any guts....

The next press conference Idiot calls..(which of course may be never) they should just not show up! Whats the point anyway. It is just an execise in stupidity and cowardice. The egos of the press are so inflated and they are only afraid of loosing access to monkey boy so they won't get a spot on their stations. Let Idiot talk to Hannity and the likes of him.

[michigandem2]

15. I would say this to the press

if they want access..USE it...by asking hard questions..when he kicks your ass out...like he did to Helen Thomas do some investigative work on his ass like woodward and bernstien..I gotta believe these journalists would want to get some info on him.....

[Joe Turner]

28. Did Shrub Kick Helen Thomas out of the WH press corps?

Jeez. How did that happen? I love that lady. She is one of the last of the true, honest journalist that actually does their job.

[OneTwentyoNine]

43. Yep...not "invited" anymore...or some such SHIT..

Chimp got tired of tough questions from Helen that he couldn't answer without pissing his pants,so out she went.

[Shopaholic]

14. I feel no pity for them--

they whored for him the entire last four years and didn't do their damned jobs-mainly expose him for the liar he is, so now, let them really have to kiss his ass and lick his boots-they deserve no better. We, the American people, on the other hand, DO.

[slor]

17. What a piece of...

shit that punk ass MF is, eh? I hope the cowards and idiots that voted for him get everything they deserve!

[progressivebydesign]

19. Oh fuck! They've elected MOUSSELINI!!! n/t

[glitch]

34. !! LOL! thanks for that. nt

[Malva Zebrina]

20. Why is there surprise? He will continue to do that and do more

flagrantly than ever before. He is a fascist with great power now. There is no press to speak of that he does not approve of--the others will be taken down in some way or other. I am not surprised. I fully expect it to go on and get worse.

[skypilot]

23. Oh, I'm not surprised.

It was just a bit jarring hearing him in that mode so soon after the election. I thought he'd at least pretend to be "humble" for a week or so before putting the asshat back on. I guess it was jarring also because he hasn't given a press conference in a while.

[Joe Turner]

26. Yep, the REAL GW Bush emerges again

He had to conceal his Monster Inner Self in his first term (although it slipped through on a number of occasions) so as to not scare the American Sheeple.

Now that he has won reelection he revels in showing his Belligerent Monster Self to America and the world. It's his middle finger to all his enemies, critics and detractors throughout the world which accounts for about 95% of the world population.

I first noticed Shrub's belligerent inner self late in the 2000 election when he was giving a campaign speech. As he was speaking, he suddenly flashed a wicked face that bespoke of an uncontrolled anger. It put a chill right down my spine. I knew then that the guy was nuts and his handlers' main job was to help Shrub conceal his true self by conjuring up a fake Humble Act.

Now, he is laughing at the press right in their faces. It's reminds me of Agent Smith in the Matrix 3 movie when he siphons off the power of the Oracle and starts laughing Madly with all his new found powers.

Yes, the very fact that Shrub could not wait to show his outward hostile nature to the press right after the election, is a very clear indication that his 2nd term, unrestrained by another election, is going to be pure hell.

But in the end, this Creep is going down hard because left to his own devices, without a poppy life line he always self-destructs as he has throughout his life.

His belligerence and anger will only lead to many more disasters and build up a tremendous counter sentiment in the country that's going to haunt the republican party in the next election. Then the fun begins.

[skypilot]

32. He horrified me the very first time I ever heard him speak.

It was at the very beginning of his candidacy when a reporter asked him if he new the name of the Pakistani president and Bush replied snidely, "No, do you".

I was anti-Anti-ANTI-Bush from that very moment.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. It's already starting.

Nobody will be able to tell that rat bastard anything!!!

[onecitizen]

24. I heard it and got.......

cold chills. What is going to happen to us?

[Roland99]

27. Here's a paragraph from the WaPo with the full quote...

After Associated Press reporter Terence Hunt opened the questioning with a three-parter, Bush said: "Now that I've got the will of the people at my back, I'm going to start enforcing the one-question rule. That was three."

[Morning Dew]

29. Who was he talking to when he said

"I see skepticism in your beady eyes." ?

[Roland99]

30. Not sure...I missed the press conference...was at lunch

[skypilot]

33. The people whose "will" he has at his back...

...probably can't deal with more than one question themselves. His "one question rule" no doubt suits them just fine.

[Catfight]

39. I think Bush is egging on Americans to revolt! He knows we're too

lazy and apathetic to really be heard.

[Roland99]

40. Then he could enact Martial Law!

And anoint Walker, Texas Ranger as honorary sherriff of the U.S.

[snacker]

35. King George has spoken

[SiouxJ]

37. It was bad before, but now his arrogance

will pop through his bloated head. They've created a monster. And now that he has nothing to lose, watch for it to become more and more apparant. Actually, I think it's good as people will see him for what he is - a spoiled brat.

[WCGreen]

38. Since when is hanging around waiting for someone

to talk a news event.....

Attending press conferences is a lazy ass way to cover the president. Hows about doing a little digging or poking around instead of clocking in, going to the White House and reacting to what they say?

Why does anyone consider that Journalism....

All they are is interpretures.....

The magic talking doll said this......

It's like cutting open a goat and looking at entrails...

Fuck that. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND OUT OF THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE AND DO YOUR JOB>>>>>

DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE HELD IN CONTEMPT BY 55 MILLION PEOPLE>>>>> IS THAT WHAT YOU WORKED SO HARD TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE????

GO BACK TO ALABAMA AND READ THE WEATHER REPORTS ON THE LOCAL FOX STATION YOU POS>>>>>>>

[NAO]

41. "Will of the People" OR "Triumph of the Will"?

http://www.buzzflash.com/premiums/04/10/pre04057.html

"Triumph of the Will" Special Edition of the 1934 Nazi Propaganda Documentary (DVD)

"Triumph of the Will," a movie made in 1934 by the legendary Leni Riefenstahl (who died in September 2003 at the age of 101), documents the 1934 Nuremberg rallies organized by Hitler's Nazis, and won gold medals for filmmaking in Venice in 1935 and in Paris in 1937. The Nazis required that the full or a truncated version of it be played before every other movie in theatres all across Germany, a requirement that stood until the Third Reich fell.

This film is important -- vital -- to see and understand for several reasons, even aside from the cinematic genius of its filmmaker. (There is an excellent biographical profile of her at http://www.leni-riefenstahl.de/eng/bio.html. The last scene of the movie, including its music, was eerily echoed in the end of George Lucas’ first Star Wars movie, and other filmmakers over the years have pointed to "Will" as a seminal influence. Although she became one of the world’s most famous photographers –- her last book published just last year –- she never made another movie, as her reputation was so damaged by her association, at the age of 32, with Hitler in making this movie.)

The first non-cinematic reason this movie is still important 70 years after its creation is that it helps Americans demystify the rise of Hitler and helps us understand that the German people of that era were neither cartoon characters nor incarnations of evil, but real and average people swept up in a nationalist hysteria. Keep in mind that this movie was made just a year after the nation's most famous building had been burned in a "terrorist attack" that Hitler blamed first on communists and later on Jews, and he used the attack on the German Parliament Building to consolidate his rise to power. And that this movie was a very large part of the barrage of propaganda Germans absorbed in the 1930s (when you see the film, this realization will take on added significance).

[Q]

42. Has he had his REQUIRED physical exam yet?

- The madness of king george is becoming apparent right before our eyes. Can this wacko last four years without cracking?

[smirkymonkey]

47. I doubt it very much. The only thing keeping a lid on his insanity

was his fear of losing the election. Now that he thinks he's got a "mandate", the extra power he believes is his will end up driving him over the edge.

A weak little man with a massive ego is very easy to destroy. The reason I have calmed down so much from yesterday is because it is becoming very apparent to me that he's going to hang himself with his own rope. The sooner the better.

[NightOwwl]

44. WTF did the reporters expect?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[DoYouEverWonder]

45. The mask is off

this is why Kerry conceded so quickly.

Let the world see the real George Bush before the Electoral College meets. There may still be a chance to stop him. After that watch out, he will be totally out of control.

[sonicx]

46. how christian of him...

[LiberteToujours]

48. Fuck the reporters

They had their chance. I hope Bush is a huge asshole to all of them.
