Rove on *: "That wasn't irritated. I know irritated."

[A-Schwarzenegger]

"That wasn't irritated. I know irritated," said Bush senior adviser Karl Rove, who described the president as "pensive" and "focused."

"Pensive": thinking hard about something, as in, "Maybe I could fake a stroke to get out of here."

"Focused": thinking hard about something, as in "Debates are for girlie-men!"

1. The only time bush* is "pensive" and "focused"

is when he's on the crapper

[Phillycat]

Whoops, I just spit water on myself.

LOL

[elehhhhna]

11. lol i just coughed up some Chex Mix (bold party flavor)

[Dudley_DUright]

14. I almost aspirated some cheerios

We need *snarky comment ahead* warning labels to avoid these unfortunate incidences in the future. :silly:

[CarolynEC]

2. Rove then yanked down his pants and said...

:evilgrin:

[bringbackfdr]

3. Pensive?

Shrub has not had a pensive moment in his life.

[TrustingDog]

6. but lots of ex-pensive ones and he's passing it down to all of us.

[Contrary1]

4. Yeah...

he was focused so much on trying not to say "F@#k you", that he couldn't remember his lines.

[Nite Owl]

5. So then I guess he's really even worse than

that? That was irritated enough for someone with his finger near the nukes.

7. cheney wont let bush NEAR nukes, IMHO

bush is a puppet,as PETGOAT video proves.

Did kerry mention PETGOAT time, during the debate?

8. El Rove o was schvitzing like a pig on cspan

last night in the spin room. Moving his vienna like sausage fingers around, claiming it was all ridiculous. thats how i know that Bush did really bad, i thought he was awful but than again i'm partisan. I've never seen Rove himself out at a venue like this one doing damgae control.

[central scrutinizer]

9. the fact that Rove crawled out from under his rock

and felt he had to make this kind of defensive comment speaks volumes about how bad it is, methinks.

[Catfight]

10. SQUEALER at it again, now let Rove tell us what we saw. He loves

to think and interpret reality for us. Only zombies can fall for that elementary trick. The Internet has got to go under Rove, it's the bastion of truth! He'll get it under his control sooner or later.

12. Try Exposed & Overmatched

I'm surprised the ferret stuck his head out so quickly. This bastard's been real smug lately. I sure hope for 90 minutes there was a look of horror on his face.

He knows he had all the cards stacked in his favor and all he can pull out right now is a draw. Gotta make him frustrated and I sure hope he over-reacts; turning his manchild into some attack dog in the next debate.

It's obvious Bunnypants can soundbite, but can't articulate. Without another mouthpiece nearby to say "what he meant", he looks stupid and smarmy. Rove's job now is to stack that St. Louis audience with his stooges.

Last night the visual was obvious...his boy not only didn't look Presidential, he looked foolish. All the spinning won't erase the image that is burning in...try as they might.

13. Karen Hughes says bush was 'annoyed with kerry's distortions'

flim flam!

[Supersedeas]

15. a pretty calm guy - suddenly has an immediate burst of pensive/focus

Odd, he seemed sort of scatological too me.

But, we are just 'shooting the bull' at this point, right Karl.
Someone needs to tell Karl that the debate is over and his guy lost.

Focus and pensive - modes to be in BEFORE the debate, NOT DURING - dumba$$

[sherilocks]

16. Focused is the buzz word the Repugs spin

when it's clear that * doesn't have any focus at all. If they say "focused" often enough, maybe somebody will believe it.

* thinks that focus is something photographers do with a camera.
