NEWSWEEK: A Tale of Two Candidates
Both Bush and Kerry addressed minority journalists this week. Guess who did better?

Aug. 7 - It didn’t sound like a hard question. After George W. Bush delivered a tepidly received address to a convention of minority journalists, a Native-American editor from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked, “What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century?” As president and a former governor, the journalist said, Bush had a “unique experience, looking at from two perspectives.” The president fumbled. “Tribal sovereignty means that—it’s sovereignty,” he stammered. “I mean, you’re a—you’re a—you’ve been given sovereignty and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.” As Bush rambled, looking like a schoolboy unprepared at the front of the class, many of the hundreds of Asian, black, Native American and Hispanic journalists gathered before him…well, snickered.

1. Saw the clip on Countdown last night

It almost made me take pity on Bush. It really is worse than it reads.

[Cha]

4. No Pity for the Fear president(sic)!

bush will get everything he deserves..I hope!

[liberalmuse]

6. I hate him all the more for it...

I pitied him once during a press conference. It was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen! He was literally trying to pull a thought out of his ass and was coming up empty. Since then, I pity him no more. He's an atrocity and has no business being President.

[sandraj]

7. Yep

the transcript can't show the insane smirky look that was on his face through most of it.

8. Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot. . .

:kick:

23. Was It WORSE Than His "Fool-Me-Once" Stammering?

[NMDemDist2]

2. nice n/t

[liveoaktx]

3. Video clip of the sovereignty gaffe

Sovereignty is Sovereignty

Listen for the laughter from the audience when he says that.

[DS1]

16. omg, thanks for the link

that's classic

I want to remix it now

[FreakinDJ]

5. I heard the audio clips on Air america

They were laughing at Bush....

compared to Kerry, Bush is a mental midget

[wndycty]

10. I had a friend say he was too embarrassed to watch it. . .

. . .that is awful.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. Was the friend perchance a shrubya supporter? If so do they still intend

to vote for the dude?

[wndycty]

13. No that tells you how bad it was. . .

. . .he was a Kerry supporter and he was embarrassed for Bush. . .that aint right. . .LOL

[GoneOffShore]

12. Compared to Kerry

* hasn't made it through preschool. (Wait, he didn't make it through pre school).

[DemoTex]

14. "During his speech ...

the President looked liked he was getting a tooth extracted."

Their words, not mine. But perfect!

[wndycty]

15. Yes he was not having a good day

:kick:

[union_maid]

17. OMG, I just saw the Kerry appearance

I'd already seen all of Bush's. I caught the first half of Kerry's tonight. I hope to get another chance so I can see the question and answer part, but even so the contrast between the two was amazing. It's so clear that Bush is totally unqualified for office when directly compared with someone who is.

[Karenina]

18. "totally unqualified for office"

This is the subtext of Roland Martin's question on legacy admissions and the reason I am quite concerned about his well-being.

[wndycty]

19. I hope the mainstream press really picks up on this. . .

We have to keep it out there.

[Karenina]

20. WHAT???

AND QUESTION THE *dauphin's COMPETENCE TO LEAD THE "FREE WORLD???" :evilgrin:

[wndycty]

21. Stranger things have happened
