Don't know who banned this (that's what the YouTube title is), or when this took place. But the interviewer is to be commended -- and Bush gets testy. Jerk.

i already have heartburn. i tried. couldn't...:puke:

You can tell that he's a low-IQ clown who was loaded-up with self-righteousness and talking points.
Truly an international embarrassment.

I am so flabbergasted after watching this interview. God bless the brave, courageous and uninhibited interviewer. She wasn't going to suck up to the almighty monkey. But what an ASS....ASS....ASS!! I don't believe this man can be president of our ONCE great nation. I am so, so ashamed!!

I knew he was an idiot, but for gods sake, why do they let him out on his own without a handler? I could not watch the whole thing.

over a person who has more brains in her left small toe than he does all over.
I had to stop listening because when I see him play the trick of : Let me finish, I respect that you asked and now it's my turn to answer, and he totally chews up the time allotted for the interview with his asinine talking points and purposefully disallows intelligent interaction, it so reminds me of my X daughter in law whose main words were: "don't interrupt me" as she made the same point 10 times in a row.

In all the Hillary/Obama/McCain stuff it gets lost that we are a national embarrassment because of this buffoon.
I go cry now.

Medals of bravery and endurance to all who could actually listen to the end and let this whining moron finish out the interview.

I had forgotten that particular gem. What a mook

:hi:

The White House had a hissy and wrote a nasty letter to the Irish TV news department involved.

The young lady is a hero for standing up to a monstrous criminal. And all she was doing was her job, something most members of the White House press corps wasn't doing at the time and still isn't doing enough.

I remember seeing this interview back then. It stands in sharp contrast with post-2001 interviews conducted by US media pundits.

Transcript of the interview here (note that Coleman's name is not mentioned in this White House record.

The White House subsequently lodged a complaint with the Irish embassy in Washington, saying she interrupted the president unnecessarily and was disrespectful.

The White House cancelled an exclusive 06/26/04 interview with Laura Bush when they learned that it was to have been conducted by Coleman.

First, it wasn't a "few soldiers" doing the torture at Abu Ghraib or at any other location. Second, and most important to the context of his remarks in the video, it's now common knowledge that the orders for inhumane treatment came from the top of this horrible administration.

I wish she could give him an up-to-date interview!

as usual.

Nobody cares about soldier deaths than him, he gave up golf!
People don't join terrorist organizations because they don't have freedom, they join terrorist organizations because their country has a foreign occupier!
America is better off for his decisions?
There is no more generous country on the face of the earth than the US? There are 20 nations who donate more than the US on a per-capita basis. If we take into account that in some countries people have to make do with a lot less than in other countries, and normalize for that, then the US comes in at number 27. http://blogger.xs4all.nl/marcone/archive/2005/01/03/19687.aspx

Right on bushmeat!

People in this country are so damned dense. They think the people fighting us off in Iraq are terrorists. They think these people are fighting us in Iraq because they're evil and hate freedom and democracy.

Let's say, in the not-too-distant future, the U.S. is no longer the big bad-ass military and economic superpower that it once was. And the product people are fighting for at that time is fresh water. With the Great Lakes, the U.S. has one of the most abundant supplies in the world. But, there's a country that doesn't have enough fresh water to satisfy its demand and militarily invades the U.S. to extract its water.

How do you think the natives in this country would react? I'd have to think a sizable percentage of us would grab our guns and engage in battles against that military.

Why wouldn't the Iraqis react any differently given their current situation?

that interview brings it all into horrifying focus. How can any of us look the rest of the world in the face? :blush:

they'd never talk to her again?

She's a hero.

Lemmi finneesh. Lemmi finneesh. Lemmi finneesh.

You've finished quite enough as is, asshole.

he tries to be touchy feely with generalities, and of course, doesn't like her line of questioning - the world despises that man.

This needs to get on the main page.

by saying that dubya was being introspective.

Interviewer: You must see that the world is not safer after your invasion if Iraq.

Bush: Saddam was brutal, and if he had stayed in power, he might have killed Iraqis. Now, we killed a half million innocent Iraqis by accident. Now, in 30 years, he might have killed a half million and one. Isn't it worth anything to save a human life?

Interviewer: One might argue....

Bush: Hold on, I'm not done. We all thought to world was free of terrorism before 9/11, right?

Interviewer: Well, Ireland has been living with IRA bombings...

Bush: Pipe down, I'm not done. Right, so the world was safe until 9/11, and somebody's got to do something about it. Look, I love puppies. And kittens, too, but puppies - they just tug at my heartstrings. Nobody would argue that I don't love puppies. And if you love puppies -- and the UN loves puppies, by the way -- then you see that what we're doing will pay off.

When he gets anxious, his voice mimics that of his father's. Not being a psychiatrist I don't know what this means. I get the impression that he is deeply disturbed. On any level one must conclude that this man lives in a fantasy world, one possibly created for him by Cheney, Rumsfield, Rove and others. It is frightening to consider that this man is in control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

The reporter, who had the common sense to know when to move on to another question, had the audacity to distract the boy king's memorization of all his talking points.

"You keep bringing up the dead", as though the reporter was ruining his fantasy.

I had to stop listening. I just couldn't bear anymore of his foolish attempts to rationalize the irrational.

he's done since then.

"Let me finish!" "You asked a question, now let me answer it."

Bush obviously had his talking points lined up with his usual rhetorical phrases like "Saddam was a brutal dictator," and others.

Bush is totally incapable of doing anything spontaneous. I have my doubts that he takes a shit without Karl Rove sending him a memo telling him when to shit.

how necessary it is to go after Iraq in order to change the world. This only adds to my suspicion that he, come hell or high water, will go ahead and attack Iran.
You're right though, he is extremely difficult to listen to.

All talking points no substance.

I started to watch it again, but had to turn it off.

Bush is cruel, crude, uncouth and a bully. He has no social skills. I fault his mom and dad for that. Comes from his upbringing. Even someone who's developmentally disabled can be taught basic social skills.

If you review his utterances you'll see that they're without substantive content. Just meaningless buzzwords strung together. That's mainly because he can't construct a logically coherent response to questions. He tries to overwhelm with meaningless double-talk.

Oh, and he's a psychopath. Read the chapter, "Words From an Overcoat Pocket" in Hare's "Without Conscience". It's all there.

of remorse. :shrug:

I was fascinated by how she kept her cool, I would have had to go to a pub afterwards.

instead of that shit that passes for journalism by U.S. news gerbils.

The reporter was a bit over the line. She interrupted him too many times. She was right to disagree with him on many issues, to muster her indignation, but it would have been more professional if she didn't let that lead her. Ya know, in Europe, they take the job of reporter very seriously and they're very serious about respect and proper boundaries. I guess, if this interview was banned, it may be because of that.

Very astute observations that you make.

Now if you could get back to the WH tailor, your new Navy Flight suit needs fitting.

for having to tolerate not only his inane comments and rude behavior, but did you notice that as the interview continues and he realizes that he's not convincing her, he raises his volume and E-NUN-CI-ATES his words very carefully as if talking more slowly and loudly will make her understand. What an idiot he is.

I've seen this before and I am truly embarrassed again.

What a different country we would have if all of our reporters had the guts to do such a fine job as Ms. Coleman!

Kudos for her putting up with that jerk.

...much past the first two minutes, I sure could not!

lost my lunch.
