disassemble -- that means not tell the truth

[paineinthearse]

:wtf:

"...people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report...."

This is what one gets with Yale undergraduate and Harvard Business School degrees? Sheesh!

THE PRESIDENT: Terry.

Q Thank you, sir. Mr. President, recently, Amnesty International said you have established "a new gulag" of prisons around the world, beyond the reach of the law and decency. I'd like your reaction to that, and also your assessment of how it came to this, that that is a view not just held by extremists and anti-Americans, but by groups that have allied themselves with the United States government in the past -- and what the strategic impact is that in many places of the world, the United States these days, under your leadership, is no longer seen as the good guy.

THE PRESIDENT: I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd. It's an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that is -- promotes freedom around the world. When there's accusations made about certain actions by our people, they're fully investigated in a transparent way. It's just an absurd allegation.

In terms of the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the detainees. It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of -- and the allegations -- by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report. It just is. And, you know -- yes, sir.

No, *, YOU are what is absurd! And STUPID! To misstate a word and then give an incorrect definition is the height of stupidity.

1. This story is going to make Malloy BLOWS a valve!!!!!

Does Kathy have a defiberlator in the studio???

[oldtime dfl_er]

8. "Absurd" is usually how the criminal in a murder-mystery

defines the detective's claims. And they often flail about the drawing room before making a defiant and indignant exit.

[SmokingJacket]

3. Don't take the bait, man!

They want you to focus on the grammar -- and you KNOW that guy never says a thing unscripted! -- instead of the rest of the nonsense he spouted.

Sounds like this little diversion is working...

[omega minimo]

7. Do you really think

he is a pretend imbecile?

[asjr]

12. Oh, hell no. He is the real thing. What was funny to me was

him trying to educate the reporters. I hope Laura told him off about that.

[SmokingJacket]

17. Nah, he's the real thing!

But I think that stumbling on the word was FAKE FAKE FAKE.

Since when does he even pretend to use Big Words?

[omega minimo]

22. Aaaah

Dry and subtle, SJ. LIving in the hall of mirrors as we are, wasn't sure if your post was ironic or disassemblification.

You may have also noticed how he drew out the word "delay" as if it had five syllables-- and as if he was really saying something by sheer emMmphhhaaaasssiiiiIIis!

[paineinthearse]

26. This will end up as a footnote

But nevertheless it needs to be documented, as we move on to larger issues.

My pResident, the idjut.

4. OMG What an idiot !

:rofl:

[BattyDem]

5. I was LMAO when I heard that!

He used the wrong word. Typical. But then he has the arrongance to define the word because he thinks the rest of us are so f*cking stupid that we don't know what it means ... and by doing do, he reveals how f*cking stupid he is because he used (and then defined) the wrong word!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Clark2008]

6. What an ignorant fuckwad

I think he means dissemble:

1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. Disguise.
2. To make a false show of; feign.

But, of course, why do I expect him to know the motherfucking English language - the backwards dipshit.

P.S. I'm sorry. Having a bad day and as a Comm major with a minor in English, I expect my president to fucking know the English language. Is that too much to ask? Geesch.

[SharonRB]

10. Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Clark

I'm right there with ya. It amazes me how many ways he finds to totally destroy the language. He's only the fucking president of the united states, is he not? At least that's what he claims to be. Some representative of us to the rest of the world, who all probably speak better English than he does.

[Up2Late]

21. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a bit ABSURD...

...to end a sentence with a Verb?

Dissemble is listed as a verb in the dictionary.

It's Absurd! "That means, it don't make no sense, see!" (Said in the "* trying to sell the SS lie" voice.)

[Clark2008]

24. True...

but, with his record, if he'd even gotten the meaning anywhere near correct, I would have given him a point. We all know that using it correctly in a sentence is asking too much.

[zoeb]

9. They let him have these little press conferences to feel

like he is still in charge and they don't bother to go on the defense anymore for his gaffs. They let him play president, an ignorant one at that.

[nytemare]

11. If he smirked right after he said it, he thought he said a big word

He does that after he uses big words.

[ebayfool]

18. LOL! It's the same look my kids had after they did a 'poop' in the potty-

chair & wanted everyone to be impressed w/how 'growed up' they were!

They always had to point it out too, just like the chimp! ROFLMAO!


on edit: Arggghhhh! I made my 1000th post @ *ush potty behavior! How appropriate!

[nytemare]

25. Congrats on your 1000th post!

It is a funny and true post! He is like a petulant child begging for attention.

[LittleClarkie]

13. Reminds me of Johnny 5. No! Do not dissassemble!

He wanted "dissemble"

[Up2Late]

14. Agreed, I think you would like this rant by Husb2Sparkly from...

...a little earlier today.

Also, I don't know if you've seen the website Dubya Speak .com, but they should have some funny things to say about this soon too (They haven't added todays comments yet, but I'm sure they will).

16. Thanks, I've been away and am not current. nt

15. As a friend said today

He had to read the cliff note definition as well. He didn't even know enough not to read the little note they left for him that tells him what the word he just used meant.

The sad part is, he probably doesn't even realize that he used the wrong word. Perhaps they should give him even easier words next time. After all, his BASE wouldn't know the difference in disassemble and dissemble, right? I can hear them now -- making it part of their everyday language because they learned it from the blivet** hooked on phonics infomercial.

"Don't disassemble to me." "I can smell disassembles in the air, Vern, can't you?" "He stood right there and disassembled again and again." :puke:

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Thank you for hearing that...

I thought something was wrong with my ears.

[dajoki]

20. he was thinking about

disassembling social security. and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[Ilsa]

23. He says this stuff as if someone

just told him the definition, and he still got the word wrong. Seriously, I think he must have asked someone about the word, or they gave him the definition because they knew he would be clueless.
