Reporter asks THE question: Why should we believe anything you're saying
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 12:27 PM by TankLV
now when there is proof of your lying on everything in the past?"

I'm paraphrasing - asked to Rumsfield.

They all just STOPPED cold and all looked at each other.

Kinda like an "OPPS - we've been caught!" moment.

On CNN right now.

Now he's getting testy: "You think I sit around reading your books?"

22. Have you ever noticed....?
that when you ask them to inform the cube rats what they're talking about, no one ever responds. I guess it's more fun to give a Batman commentary to each other:

Whap!!!!

POW!!!

Oh, that was a zinger.

Wish someone would say that to @#$$@!!

Oh, did you hear that?

Wow.



Janet Doobydoo for Prez.

6. Now someone needs to ask BUSH the same question (nt)
The press, very publicly, and consistently.

Especially as he leads us into yet another (probably more) disastrous war.

7. It's about time someone said that...
The reporter's response should have been "You think we have nothing better to do than listen to MORE of your lies?"

16. My my my...THAT was certainly short, wasn't it?! Can't have any HARD
"impolite" questions of the LYING bastards, can we?

CNN resumes to the "immigration" smokescreen.

Glad to know they have SOMETHING "more important" to report on!

I think it's time for a "missing rich white girl" or another false raping incident!

13. It's about time - past time, actually. The tough questions MUST be
asked.

Note to media: If you need guidance, please contact Helen Thomas. She will be happy to show you how it is done. :thumbsup:

Thank God we have Helen Thomas!

17. I'd also like to know - no details yet - some guy in the middle.
Others started piling on about their plans for bombing Iran with nukes and they cut out to a commercial.

It's over.

Cooincidentally, of course.

WE all know how that story turns out.

19. I cut over to C-Span as they were taking the last question
When it was over, there was lots of chuckling amongst the reporters. Does C-Span keep a video archive?

25. The video's up at Cspan right now
it's the first selection in the "recent programs" list--

Don't know if it contains the bit you describe--I don't have RealPlayer, bastards, so I can't watch.

31. It's at 18:50 minutes when you can get it to play
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 02:06 PM by eleny
Edit: Before that time, the press conference had a much softer tone. After the question was asked, the tone distictly changes. Lots of testy back n' forth. The tea party was over.
