MSNBC BREAKING Bush Press Conference 10 AM (I knew it)

[underpants]

I knew that they weren't going to let things go into the weekend without putting their warped ass view into the discussion.

BTW- tomorrow is ripe for a data dump, whatever didn't get burned up yesterday.

Senate to Stay in Session to Thwart Bush

By LAURIE KELLMAN – 12 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that he would keep Congress in session over the holiday break solely to block President Bush from making recess appointments. It was an apt ending to one of the most bitterly partisan congressional sessions in memory.

"We're going to go into pro forma session so the president can't appoint people that we think objectionable," Reid said on the Senate floor as the chamber prepared to wrap up business for the year.

The Senate must confirm major presidential appointments and judicial nominations, a constant source of confrontation between the White House and Senate Democrats. But when the Senate is off, as it will be for the rest of the month and much of January, the president can make recess appointments that are not subject to confirmation hearings. These appointees can serve until the end of the congressional session, which at this point would be until Bush leaves office.

The move affects congressionally passed legislation as well. The Constitution gives Bush 10 days after passage to sign or veto such bills. If he does not take action by that deadline during a period when Congress is in session, the legislation becomes law. In cases when the deadline passes during adjournment, the legislation is "pocket-vetoed."

Q.) Mr. President have you been in touch with Turkish President Abdullah Gül
about military operations in northern Iraq against the Kurds, people you have
called allies in your "War on Terror."

A) ah ah ah I think that mmmmmmmm ah ah President Abdully is having to
listen to his generals on the ground because terra-wrists are a threat. Next question

7. He's gonna cancel Christmas

Terra 'lerts at Mauve, don't know what it means but sounds bad, huh? Don't want to risk Santa flying 'round up there, or someone you don't know getting into a sleigh that doesn't belong to them, dressed in red, no telling.

No returning of gifts, bad for the economy. Economy is strong, though, no worries.

10. He's His Only Spin Control Now

Once upon a time, georgie boooosh was relevent. Really he was. When he had something to say, people were interested in hearing it and some even (shudder) thought he had ideas. That was when he barely conducted any apperance that wasn't scripted by a Frum or Gershon and all the questions were softballs from Jeff Gannon/Gunkert. That was then, this is now.

The manchild appears to be restless and has to stay "relevant"...he'll show us he's no lame duck. I suspect we'll see him open his pie hole every day from now through the end. The good thing is the more he talks, the more he hurts both his soiled legacy and his corrupt party and fewer and fewer people are listening.

I keep pointing out how few of his soundbites make it out of the morning now.

11. "Nothing good can come of this..." n/t

[gratuitous]

13. "I've got a bad feeling about this . . . "

[tekisui]

14. New lies! Coming your way at 10am!

I was getting kind of tired of his other lies.

Will he take questions? On Torture Tapes? On the NIE? On Iraq? On Arson?

[underpants]

16. He can finally talk about Scooter

since all legal aspects of it are over. Wonder if they will ask about that.

[bdamomma]

15. I wish he would give us all a early christmas present and

just have a meltdown, wishful thinking huh?

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

17. You think he's gonna support Huckabee
