Q Is the tide turning in Iraq?

THE PRESIDENT: I think -- tide turning -- see, as I remember -- I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of -- it's easy to see a tide turn -- did I say those words?


......from Wednesday's Press Conference.

[Kadie]

1. WTF?

:freak:

[peace frog]

2. The earpiece was fucking up again

but even when it works perfectly he sounds like a total jackass.

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. Of course he said them,he ought to know, since he is the all time

master of "using their own words against them". The USA has gone to shit with that bastard.

[eleny]

4. He needs the "Cloclwork Orange" remedy

[Marnieworld]

5. I don't recall any deserts in Conn. or MA.

Raised in the desert? Gee I bet he saw a lot of tides turn during the many many summers of his life in Maine. Maybe having a compound on the water slipped his mind. He can't stop lying if his life depended on it. asshole.

[tridim]

12. Maybe he's thinking about the vast, empty desert inside his head?

Really, what the hell is he talking about and why didn't the "journalist" ask him to explain his answer?

[Philosoraptor]

14. He eventually didn't answer the question.

So all in all the reporter was wasting his time. The man had asked when the hell the soldiers can come home and we can end the damn war, and he makes stupid inside jokes.

[shain from kane]

28. When he was drinking for those 40 years, his brain cells packed up and

deserted him. All that is left is the Mofove Desert between those chimp ears.

[StellaBlue]

19. The area of West Texas he pretends to be from isn't a desert, either, IMHO

$0.02

[Marnieworld]

25. you'd think that he would at least know that.

He's not the president. He just plays one on TV.

[conflictgirl]

47. You don't think so?

I've spent time there and while 'desert' might not be the most technically correct term, I have used it myself to describe West Texas.

[stop the bleeding]

6. No he didn't - this guy just keeps them coming n/t

[smokey nj]

7. He was raised in a desert?...........

So he thinks he's fucking Moses now!!!!!!

[Philosoraptor]

9. By a poor roving family of Oil Men, who wiped with sand & ate scorpions

[Jacobin]

46. Walked five miles to school every day in the, um, sand?

[shain from kane]

29. The Deliverer, as well as The Decider. n/t

[Jeanette in FL]

8. And he ended that little segment with this little gem

"And whoever said it's a tide turning, and all that needs -- never mind. (Laughter.) "

[Philosoraptor]

10. I'll finish it: ...Needs to go F**k themselves.

[Jeanette in FL]

17. Oh that is great

What a laugh I got out of that. Too Funny.

[Supersedeas]

49. has he become completely incoherent...and why does the WH Press Corps play

the role of doormat.

[Philosoraptor]

11. The question is full of DEAD PEOPLE, and he makes jokes.

The reporter is asking about the war you fucking idiot. Try to keep a straight face.

[Chipper Chat]

13. I think he meant, literally, TIDE - the soap powder.

You see, he has fond memories of Bar's laundry room bring a desert. And peering inside the front-loading Westinghouse he could see the "Tide churning" (or turning).

[lpbk2713]

15. It was not that long ago he said he regretted saying "Bring it on"

because it made him look so arrogant. This asshole is a real slow learner.

[Philosoraptor]

16. Afterwards Chris Matthews said W was a lot like Churchill, I swear

[peace frog]

18. Tweety's nose is so far up Dubya's bum

it's tickling his tonsils.

[Jara sang]

20. Wow, Midland is a pretty lush desert.

[underpants]

21. What desert?

LOL that is too funny.

I think that will be the moment of Zen tonight.

[Philosoraptor]

24. It's his little world, we're just in it.

It'll probably make it into book of stupid quotes.

[htuttle]

22. "did I say those words? "

Did I say that out loud? Doh!

[Philosoraptor]

26. Did I say that out loud? Exactly.

[GOPBasher]

23. "Stupid" yes, "Arrogant"? I'm not sure. I have no idea what he's saying.

I don't know if it's an arrogant quote b/c I have no idea what the hell he said. It's definitely stupid, though.

[Philosoraptor]

27. Arrogant in that he's Cracking Jokes about war, & so many are suffering

[GOPBasher]

30. Ok, I got'cha. You're right, that is arrogant. And kudos for

determining what he said. It was so ridiculous that I couldn't even understand that he was joking.

[Philosoraptor]

32. He's not even sure what he meant.

His apologists always point to his down homey delivery.

[coalition_unwilling]

36. I think "callous" (a disregard for others' feelings)

is probably more accurate to describe cracking jokes about war while so many suffer. "Arrogance" (a disregard for others' opinions) is probably more accurate to describe *'s attitude that he was going to invade Iraq with or without U.N. Security Council approval.

[Philosoraptor]

38. I would also have accepted "Cavalier"

Also Baronial, Condescending, and Foppish.

[coalition_unwilling]

40. Hmm. I think "Cavalier" is actually closer to *'s demeanor

than "callous". (Cheney comes off as "callous," * as "Cavalier".)

"Foppish" - wow - makes me think of Malvolio in "12th Night" -- * has a bit of the fop in him, but he's too much of a hick to be a fop, I'd say.

[Philosoraptor]

41. I had a Cavalier that had 200,000 miles on it.

Out in the deserts of Maine.

[shain from kane]

31. He's in the desert now, and Sandstorm al-Katrina is looming over

the horizon.

[blogslut]

33. It's called a prairie

...ya f@cking, nation-killing loser.

[npincus]

34. Born in New Haven, Connecticut... a blueblood Yankee

Right. Shore are lotsa dez-zerts in these here parts.

[Philosoraptor]

39. Just a poor desert boy lookin' fer oil & yachtin' around Kennebunkport.

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. Sure. The sandtrap at Kennebunkport is the desert.

What a complete sham and disgrace he is.

[sinkingfeeling]

37. Drunk again?

[npincus]

44. that might explain him chiding the blind reporter today

at his press conference for "wearing sunglasses and it's not even sunny".

Stupid motherf*cker.

[Vogt]

42. Jesus Christ, this guy

is so fucking stupid that it's actually embarrassing to have to read his "words" off a computer screen behind a cloak of total anonymity. I swear to God, it feels like this bastard has been president for decades.

[Avalux]

43. Midland TX is the desert?

OK then. :crazy:

[SammyWinstonJack]

51. Except he wasn't raised in Midland TX, he spent his youth in

private boarding schools on the East Coast. His drug addled brain doesn't know where he was raised. Besides which he doesn't give a shit about anything, save what he thinks he can relate to himself. He always mangages somehow to bring all questions back to his self serving a$$. Isn't that amazing? :rofl:

[lies and propaganda]

45. theres desert in Connecticut?

well, thanks for learning me Dubya :sarcasm:

[shain from kane]

48. Is our children learning? Geography, more or less. Next we'll be

introduced to the Sunni, Shiates, and Kurds, which someone had to explain to him, shortly before we invaded Iraq.

[SammyWinstonJack]

50. Jesus H Christ!

:wtf: He's gone round the bend! What a complete idiot! Does he even hear what he says? "Plain spoken" :rofl: translation: IDIOT! :dunce: Give it up Duhbya, even your "cows" don't want to listen too your mindless crap.


HAD ENOUGH? VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC!

[Scout1071]

52. Didn't he spend most of his childhood in Maine?

Kennebunkeport, ME to be specific?

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. Yes he did, but probably drunk and coked up , so he is forgiven

for "youthful indiscretions" :eyes: and not knowing where he grew up. :rofl: He should really just STFU so as not to appear as the IDIOT he is. :yoiks: He just asks for it, doesn't he? :rofl:

[Rex]

53. 'did I say those words?'

What the fuck you be smoking GWB? :smoke: You would think by now Bush would know how to talk stoned and not look like a complete idiot!
