[Tesla]

14. again, ongoing investigation

did someone just cough"Bullshit" again??

[musette_sf]

15. blah blah blah

need to let legal process continue

legal proceedings ongoing - let the process continue

(re fire Rove)

again, there is an ongoing investigation - let the legal process work - counseled not to discuss this matter while it continues - this means I won't respond to questions on this from this podium --

[Theres-a]

16. Should they fire Karl Rove!

Who was that!

[0007]

17. Doesn't look like too many reporters are there today, eh? n/t

[Tesla]

20. "An Artful Dodge"

I Love David

[0007]

25. David Gregory is giving McClellen a hard time and I love

every second of it

[Theres-a]

18. David!WOO_HOO!!!

[LSparkle]

19. GO DAVID GREGORY!!!

"You were wrong, weren't you?"

And the fact that Scottie STILL doesn't want to talk about it MEANS IT'S STILL AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION!!! Rove is NOT in the clear!!!

[Theres-a]

21. YES!

[Tesla]

23. Ask questions is being "Disrespectful"?

[LSparkle]

22. "I HAVE been responding to you, David ... " POORLY!

Nail him to the wall, Gregory!

[musette_sf]

24. yadda yadda

Gregory I think, quoting Scottie's lie, "they were not involved"

Gregory: "artful dodge", "we know for a fact there was involvement", "you were wrong, weren't you?"

Scottie covered in flop sweat: "could jeopardize the opportunity for a (sic) umpartial trial" hahahahaha

[goclark]

30. Go Gregory! The only one, other than Helen, with a spine! nt

[LSparkle]

26. Isn't the job of people in the White House to be TRUTHFUL?

To do their jobs and TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH? This gang has some weird ideas of priorities and ethical standards ...

[Tesla]

27. There goes the "Bullshit" cougher again!!

"I can't carry your water for you"

[fooj]

28. I am so sick of their sanctimonious BS! I am sick to death of these SOB'S

:banghead:

[LSparkle]

29. Terry Moran: "I can't carry water for you"

Scottie's credibility is in SHREDS!

Reporters ought to boycott these briefings until they fire his ass.

[Wilber_Stool]

31. Can we trust you now?

Ooooooooooooooo!

[Tesla]

33. "Where we are today"

Where are we Scotty???

[LSparkle]

34. "Your credibility has been DAMAGED"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA!

[snowbear]

32. "We can't carry your water for you"

:rofl: Ok.. what's the guys name who just said that to Scott McClellan?

[LSparkle]

37. Terry Moran of ABC -- THIS IS GREAT!

I am SOOOOOO glad MSNBC is carrying this live -- this is one of the "best" press briefings yet!

[musette_sf]

35. "I can't carry your water for you"

Reporter: "I can't carry your water for you"

Scottie: "Still a lot of facts that are not known" (I'll bet!) "you know I would like to talk further about this" "I think I've earned that trust with you-all" "make sure the American people get an accurate account what is going on in DC"

[snowbear]

38. It was Terry someone..

Help us out here.. who was that? It was great! :rofl:

[Spazito]

36. I think the White House needs to hire the actor playing the part

of WH Press Secretary in West Wing. At least his script allows him to admit he is dodging the questions on the investigation. Scottie sucks at this, lol.

[Tesla]

41. He's saying they have LOST trust in YOU!!!

He's in DENIAL!!!

[musette_sf]

39. McMaggot: "what I say from this podium is based on the facts"

blah blah "ongoing legal proceeding"

"relationship built with me and the press corps.. and the American people too... worked hard to build that trust..."

[alcibiades_mystery]

61. LOL: "Based on facts"

Like the Lifetime movie is "based on a true story"

:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:

[MelissaB]

40. He really isn't too good at his job, is he?

He keeps repeating he has earned their trust. BS! He wants people to believe that.

[snowbear]

43. Nope.. he's not good at it...

..the one thing Ari was good at was immediate responding with such spin that he was able to baffle everyone with his b.s. :crazy:

[musette_sf]

42. McMaggot: "haven't heard any discussion of the filibuster"

"The Pres wants to see a civil and dignified process"

"Senate can move forth in a prompt manner BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH AN EXTENSIVE PUBLIC RECORD" (unlike My Little Crony hahahahaha)

[musette_sf]

44. on My Little Crony

and first order of importance at the time being to nominate a woman

"Everything I and the President said from this podium was based on her judicial qualifications"

[musette_sf]

45. tell me the exact day and time POTUS picked Scalito

SCOTUS spoke w/Sammy on Friday
They met this morning in the OO this morning
POTUS had him in mind over the past few days

[musette_sf]

46. Syria and Iran

"out of step" (Syria and Iran)

I guess the "trending" rap wasn't working.

[musette_sf]

48. re investigations and who should cooperate

"demand that Syria once and for all fully cooperate with the investigation"

He can dish it out but he sure can't take it...

[musette_sf]

49. bird flu bullshit rap:

contain and treat

develop vaccines

save lives

builds upon what we've already done as a country that is leading the way in addressing the effect from a flu outbreak

accelerating efforts to develop next generation of vaccines (cell based vs. egg based) - we have mfg capacity to produce quickly - we do know from history there have been outbreaks of bird flu - something we need to take seriously - that's why POTUS has been leading the way - enhancing domestic preparedness - did blah blah blah since 2001 - added flu to list of quarantinable conditions - discussed with Berlusconi over lunch (was chicken on the menu?)

Translation: martial law coming right up

[Theres-a]

50. Boo!

[Tesla]

51. Thanks for the update, had to get the boy off the bus

[mtnester]

52. Using the previous unanimous vote for circuit judge

to bolster up or down for new SC nominee approval

[Tesla]

54. I can hear it now.......

"Go tell everyone we are working for the people , over and over"

[musette_sf]

53. SCOTUS nom:

Q: commentary from Dems that Pubes succumbed to pressure from far RW. Do you expect to have a fight?:

McMaggot: "certainly hope not"... "affirmed by unanimous consent previously" ... "POTUS hopes for civil and dignified process" ... "up or down vote"... "brilliant mind"... "highest integrity"... "thoughtful and deliberate" .... (um, I think you meant Fitzpatrick with those last three comments, dufus)

Q: SCOTUS different than Circuit Court?

McMaggot: "if you look at the precedents, no reason they should not move forward in civil and dignified way..."

[musette_sf]

55. windfall profits tax

"I haven't heard any discussion of new taxes"... "POTUS committed to cutting taxes and keep economy growing"

[musette_sf]

56. Davis-Bacon Act and temp suspension of same:

"whoever told you it served its purpose was right on"

groovey, Scottie.

[musette_sf]

57. POTUS: "I want to know the truth"

Q: Does the Pres wish for Mr. Libby to tell the truth?

McMaggot: "POTUS advised all in WH to cooperate with Special Counsel"... "there is a presumption of innocence" ... "maybe some don't want" (a fair and impartial trial)...

[musette_sf]

58. "not trying to make law from the bench"

like in 2000, fvckstick?

[Tesla]

59. "Have you thought of resigning?"

[snowbear]

66. LOL... I missed that. .... Who asked that one?

http://eliteleague.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/lol!.gif

[musette_sf]

60. congratulations on your calm and unflappable demeanor

have you ever considered getting the hell off the Titanic?

"helping POTUS advance his agenda"

"I feel pretty good"

[musette_sf]

62. so it's the "culture of the nomination process", hahahaha

McMaggot: when he selected Harriet, look what he was looking for... that's what he thought was important to have on the court at the time... we recognize now the culture of the nomination process... Scalito's depth and breadth of service... experience blah blah blah

[snowbear]

63. The winners today: David Gregory and Terry Moran !!

~~ :headbang: ~~

[Tesla]

65. Didn't they think about opening documents about * when she

is his personal lawyer????

[musette_sf]

64. POTUS was chatting with Kim Jong Il over the weekend

I'll bet!!!!! Looking for tips and tricks?

[musette_sf]

67. more Miers bull hockey:

demands put on Harriet.. to produce documents that would have violated a highly important principle....

and Exit Stage Right!
