*: "Thank you for violating the multiple-part question rule."

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/19/bush.transcript/index.html/

BUSH: You asked a multiple-part question.

QUESTION: Yes, I did.

BUSH: Thank you for violating the multiple-part question rule.

I didn't know there was a law on that.

(LAUGHTER)

BUSH: There's not a law.

(LAUGHTER)

It's an executive order.

(LAUGHTER)

In this case, not monitored by the Congress.

(LAUGHTER)

Nor is there any administrative oversight.

(LAUGHTER)

QUESTION: Well, without breaking any laws, back on domestic spying. Making the case for that, can you give us some example...

BUSH: Oh, I got you. Yes, sorry.

No, I'm not going to talk about that, because it would help give the enemy notification and/or perhaps signal to them methods and uses and sources. And we're not going to do that.




He really thinks this stuff is funny... so sad :-(

"Mr. President, don't be a dick. Answer the fucking question, you douche"
:wtf:

I assume that they don't allow multiple questions to save time or some lame shit like that, right?

So then he proceeds to waste time with this idiocy, rather than answer questions?

WTF?

This guy won't answer multiple part questions because he "doesn't have to", and he wouldn't rush to help Katrina victims because "It's not my job".


Is it to much to ask to have a president who might want to sometimes go above and beyond?

6. Silly fokker
I thought he was going to go into the Miss beazley/barney mode.
Did he look under the podium for the WMD's- I might have missed it.
Reminds me of his dictator statements in the past. Hard work!

7. Kinda like the "no wmds here... or here" moment a few years ago
What a bastard. This is not a fucking joke, its the death of american democracy as we know it. I am so angry, so sad and so frightened all at the same time, I can't take it.

8. What's with the "(LAUGHTER)" crap?
Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 12:24 PM by MathGuy
Would it kill the press corps to keep a stony silence in this kind of situation, to put a stop to this bullshit?

9. Holy shit!
Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 12:21 PM by long_green
I would say that was nervous laughter.

If we had a free press, every representative of every reputable body would walk out and leave the press room to the Jeff Gannons of the world.

15. It had to be nervous
I almost laughed but it was one of those incapable to understand how this man got to where he did laughs. Foolish, foolish Americans.
I think he hopes to drive everyone else nuts so as to obfuscate the incredibly bad things happening around us.
:crazy:

11. How can they let him say shit like this?
"One is, we've got to help the Iraqi government best as they need help to stand up a government as quickly as possible. In other words, we're urging them: "Don't delay. Move as quickly as you can. Solve the -- you know, get the political parties -- once the vote is completed, get the political parties together and come up with a government."

"Hurry up and get er dun! We gotta election to worry bout in 08. So you moso-loms hurry up and get er gummit set up so we can flee!"

I swear to Allah, Boosh has the mentality of a 5 year old, they ALL do!
