[greenbriar]

of the people have felt for the last 5 years

[JuniperLea]

1. Oh my! What's he furious about this time?

Hitting and running here this morning... feeling I'm missing out on all the news!

[greenbriar]

2. something about leaking that they are keeping tabs on money

of "terrorists"

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. I know he didn't read the newspaper so who told him?

I'm glad he's mad.

He's probsbly just furious that he was outed and it makes him look bad.

[JuniperLea]

22. He should be so concerned about keeping tabs on

the taxpayer's money that is being wasted or otherwise unaccounted for in this violent occupation of a sovereign nation.

[paparush]

4. The Govt wants to sue the NYT for 'leaking' er..reporting that the Govt

has been monitoring (ie-spying) banking records and bank transactions

[JuniperLea]

23. That's ridiculous

How can a non-gov agency leak anything? The administration somehow leaked it to the press... the press reported it. They report news, or at least that is what they are supposed to do. The NYT has no security clearance that I know of... they aren't supposed to be privy to classified information. The whole thing sounds like another attempt to scare the press into submission.

[paparush]

40. I know...but all the focus is on publicly punishing the Times, and

painting them as Terrorist loving, america-haters.

[BOSSHOG]

5. He's just so pissed that someone would leak information

I believe his tantrum was about tracking the finances of alleged terrorists. It really is so fucking terrible that someone would leak anything huh george?

[JuniperLea]

24. Don't you think the leak came from the administration?

Newspapers report the news, administrations leak it.

[BOSSHOG]

25. Oh but the pliant right wing media

won't play it that way; they'll do their jobs. gosh, he's just so pissed at leaks.

rovian - to a subordinate, go tell a reporter this, when he reports it the president will stomp his feet. Liberals will figure this out, but it will just fuel the flames of rage from the flag wavers about the evil liberal media.

[JuniperLea]

26. I can't believe people still fall for that stuff

It's like saying "no one could have anticipated" or "we got bad intelligence". At some point, people need to wake up and see that we need people who are better at anticipating, and better at telling good intelligence from bad.

But you're right. It will be that damned librul media at it again. Instead of that damned Bush administration can't hold their water. We pretty much know they leak crap on purpose, but even if you assume they do not, which is what they want everyone to believe, it's still pretty shoddy business practice to be so full of leaky holes.

Hmmm... leaky holes and sneaky moles... funny how that rhymes.

[BOSSHOG]

27. Knowing who comprises bush's base

I have no problem believing they fall for that stuff. It doesn't make any difference if it meets any smell test. Our President is pissed and by gawd we are "conservatives" and as everybody knows we are not responsible for anything (including incest.) And to top it all off, they are galvanized in support of the administration and anything it says or does because they are too damned proud to admit the are and have been wrong all along.

[JuniperLea]

30. Egads... that about sums it up

See what blind faith can get you?

[coalition_unwilling]

39. Daniel Ellsburg has been calling for BFEE insiders with a

conscience to leak often and leak hard now before it's too late. Ellsburg says his one principal regret is that he didn't speak out and leak against the Vietnam War earlier when it might have resulted in the war ending sooner with fewer casualties.

Of course, there are professional staff in the Treasury Department who resent being made tools for a fascist agenda. They're called "career civil servants."

[Marr]

11. You know- the usual criminal thing. He's mad because he got caught again.

[JuniperLea]

20. How dare we hold him responsible for his actions! heh... n/t

[unhappycamper]

3. He might be pissed at the spying on your banking habits

disclosure. I guess he thought it fell down the memory hole....

Bush: Terror financing disclosure ‘disgraceful’

[nickinSTL]

7. yeah, he's so pissed about this...

but it's ok to leak the identity of a CIA operative...if you don't like what they're turning up.

[Ganja Ninja]

8. I think it's only fair that if he knows everything about our banking

habits we should know everything about his.

[Philosoraptor]

9. Curious, what makes him furious.

Fuck him.

[valerief]

10. Since he already has my medical and financial records, I've

mailed him my family photo albums. You know, so that I'm more than just a number.

[Ouabache]

12. Any link between this and Belarus freezing his accounts there?

Another thread has announcement that Belarus is freezing Bush's and Condi's assets THERE.
Funny this becomes public and then it becomes public that George and Condi have assets in Belarus. (of all places, huh? I always figured they were in the Caymans)

And not only does it become public that Bush and Condi have assets in Belarus, but now those assets are FROZEN ! Are we seeing a tit-for-tat of some kind?

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Perhaps George and Condi have a little nest egg ...

for the nest they plan later.

[bobbieinok]

35. missed this......is there a link??

[electron_blue]

13. This is SO transparent. Of course the "bad guys" must know their

financial transactions are being traced. C'mon - they're "bad guys", they know to lie low and launder their money, not leave traces, hide it, etc. They already know that their financial dealings are being traced, or at least attempts are being made.

This is not a leak dangerous to the war on terror - the terrorists know they're being watched closely. This is a leak dangerous to the admin's war on the American public.

[rman]

14. But does he know 70% is more than 30%?

[spanone]

15. God forbid this man ever has complete control over the media.

He's close, but not there.

P.S. fuck you mr. bush*, you conniving, sniveling rat-bastard. And those are my kindest remarks.

[dave29]

16. Private Dick and Shady Bush

Can't stand the sunshine

Honor and Dignity, my ass.

[Fozzledick]

17. Furious George?

Too much monkey business!

[Poiuyt]

19. Did you hear him say that he needs to do this to protect the Constitution?

"The American people expect this government to protect our constitutional liberties..."

I guess the only way for them to protect the Constitution is by trampling on it.

[IndependentVoice]

21. I bet hes mad about

boy kissing

[Dogmudgeon]

28. This sounds fishy

Monitoring the financial activity of terrorists has been going on for years. It is a part of what the CIA and Interpol (I think it's Interpol) do. The details may be secret, but it's not a secret process.

What sounds fishy is why the idiot and so many Republicans are howling to high heaven. Outsourcing such a high-security operation to a Belgian company open enough for the Press to trip over doesn't make sense, unless it's the Press, not the Terr'ists, that are the real targets.

Of course, I could be wrong.

--p!

[lpbk2713]

29. Sort of like a poker dealer would be furious

if a player caught him dealing from the bottom of the deck?



Is that how it is Dumbya?

[Garbo 2004]

31. Although he's not furious about the leak that impaired if not destroyed

nuke counterproliferation monitoring of Iran. He's obviously not furious about that since one of the leakers, Karl Rove, is still employed in the White House. If leaks damaging national security are such a bad thing, why is Rove still in the White House?

That's the question Bush should be asked every time he pops up for a photo/press op.

[onethatcares]

32. "somebodys' right to know should not overshadow

someones' right to live". Does the Valerie Plame investigation go by the same standard?

[fishwax]

37. I'm sure he'd answer your question, but he doesn't want to comment on

an ongoing investigation :rofl:

[Vidar]

33. Pissed when he's called out on anything.

[w4rma]

34. Did George have another temper tantrum? (nt)

[fishwax]

36. "jabbing his finger for emphasis"

:rofl:

I don't know why, but that visual just strikes me as hilarious

:rofl:

[goclark]

38. I can't get the video to open :(

[stepnw1f]

41. The Brat Get's Caught Overstepping the Constitution

and he gets furious. Anybody having doubts that he is a maniac?
