This kind of thing happens all the time in England, from what I can gather.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the nonpartisan World Affairs Council handed out the bulk of the 1,000 tickets for the event, with the remaining 250 tickets handed out by the host, Central Piedmont Community College.

Not that I'd tend to trust word one out of McClellan's shiny head anyway, but I doubt the impartiality of the ticket-distribution process based solely on the number of audience members clapping to support Bush.

England tells politicians what they think very much so.

Just ask Condaleeza Rice....

This sounded more like an episode of ricky lake than a presidential Q/A session. What happened to 'restoring dignity to the presidency'?

Notice how Bush tried to embarass the guy, twisting his words:
'You said I tapped your phone?'
trying to make him sound like a nut.

Unless there is more this not shown, Bush get's checkmate.

Sadly true, though he was kind of a glad-handing dick about it. He usually doesn't handle confrontation like that so well, especially as his keepers usually manage to insulate him from it.

That guy who was speaking had the worst outfit on. How can you wear a pink shirt with a sweater over it and expect to be taken seriously by POTUS, or anyone for that matter.

For some reason that sounds really homosexual.

'Notice how Bush tried to embarass the guy, twisting his words:

I guess it doesn't help that the guy did specifically say 'you tap my phone line.' but yeah, any oppertunity to bash the president... :eyeroll:

^^^ LOLZ -- The English guy trying to bash someone for sounding gay.

Oh crap, now we're going to have the War of Independence all over again.

I get to man the chaingun!

barchnut: I guess it doesn't help that the guy did specifically say 'you tap my phone line.' but yeah, any oppertunity to bash the president... :eyeroll:

Here's the quote: 'I see you assert your right to tap my telephone'

Why don't you stop making excuses for these douchebags?

he said: 'I see you assert your right to tap my telephone'
bush said: 'You said I tapped your phone?'

and bush has twisted what the guy said to make him look like a nutjob?

I just don't see it.

I voted against w twice just like most of the people in the country. I am not a republican. I do not like the dumbass. But to get your panties all in bunch over every such little incident is ridiculous and does more harm than good. there's plenty of legitimate reasons to condemn the fucksnot. don't go making shit up just to pile on.

:EYEROLL:

I want to ask a serious question.

Jwalker, what are you going to do with all your free time once Bush is out of office and you don't have him to kick around anymore???

I mean seriously, are you going to set your sights on the next president with the same level of hatred and anger? It doesn't matter which party wins, they are both equally worthless. During the last election, what were the differences? Kerry's views were essentially the same as Bush's (at least part of the time, until he would change his mind.)

None of those fukers should be trusted, and the people most competent for the position are smart enough to know that they don't want it.

I remember growing up being told that anyone in this country can grow up to be President, and I believed it. In fact, I still do, but the bigger question is 'Who the hell wants to be President???'

Every move you make is scrutinized by everyone. Everyone essentially hates you and even with your party in the majority at the legislative level, you can't accomplish all that much becasue everyone has their own agenda.

Is Bush a good president? God no. Is he the worst President ever? Honestly, I'd have to go with no on that one as well.

The last president that wasn't universally hated seems to be Kennedy, and you saw where that got him. An overdose of vitamin Lead.

I guess my point here is that until there are sweeping changes in the public mindset, the President is going to be a Republicrat or a Dememublican and they will both do a shitty job driving this country into the ground.

Lewis Black summed it up best: We ahve a two party system. The party of no ideas, and the party of bad ideas.

So I ask again, whatever are you going to do when Bush is out of office? If you are going to bash the president regardless of his party affiliation, then I am right there with you. If however you are going to give a free pass to an idiot just because he's a democrat, then I'm going to have to question your integrity.

I think the last paragraph is all that needed to be posted..

but thanks for the dissertation regarding your lifetime of political thoughts from birth to this very moment..

hehe

wrecker - can you repost that in the Bush Crime File forum? we need a good debate in there and I'm the only one who ever posts to it.

thx

freakbass - Sorry, got a little carried away. But I know that Acidburn has posted MUCH longer tirades. LOL

jwalker - sure. Consider it done.

the President is going to be a Republicrat or a Dememublican and they will both do a shitty job driving this country into the ground.

I think you mean a they'll do a GREAT job driving this country into the ground.

Either that or I missed the comma.

Stupid commas.
