For a Guy that is so full of Moral and anti-abortion and all that crap, but wasn’t he the guy
when 20 years old who got a 15 year old girl pregnant (which is rape) and then force her to have an abortion. Yeah sounds like this guy is Anti-abortion when it suits him during election time. He also snorted Cocaine, was an Alcoholic draft-dodger with a vicious temper……..Yep he’s a regular Reverend Lovejoy all right ….(NOT !)
This guy can’t even speak proper English or answer impromptu questions. This goes to show the extremely low level of intelligents of this man. He was gven an IQ test but the
results were never released. I wonder why ??? He controls the american news media like
a tyrant.

The world is a more dangerous place with this fool in office. He has turned American in to a big brother state and is running the country using fear. He is the new Hitler but which wouldn’t be anything new to his family, seeing as his Grandfather Prescott Bush made plenty of money by investing in Nazi Germany, which was against the law at the time and for which he eventaully got caught.

When after the Carol Coleman interview because he was put on the spot, he questioned the Irish leader why he was “not in control of state broadcaster” ?

He stated to arab leaders that God told him to invade Aghanistan and Iraq.
??? does this not worry people that this guy is hearing voices ???

The great deceiver is amongst us !
Ladies and Gentlemen may I present George W. Bush……..The Anti-Christ.

So George, can we win this war on terror or what?
George: “I don’t think you can win it”; in fact “we are winning and we will win”;
So which is it George?
George: “Heck you just got to look at our report on Patterns of Global Terrorism 2003 (April version), terror figures are way down…”

“But George, the revised report indicates that 625 people were killed by terrorist attacks in 2003, up from the 307 reported in the April release. There were 3,646 wounded, a rise from the reported 1,593, and 208 acts of international terrorism, as opposed to the reported 190.”

“I’m the war president see, and we got to spread liberty around the world, fact is we done totally obliterated more’n 10,000 women and children in Iraq. Not to mention Afg..Afga, the other place.”

But George.., oh forget it.

how is this man a president? if he was the leader of any european state he would be out!! although there is tony blair……
i think the problem is many americans confuse critism of bush with critism of america or americans. but it’s not, most europeans admire and like america and it’s culture. many americans seem to hold there president in such regard, that an attack on bush is a attack on america – it’s not. also, many americans have said that they should get behind there president during a war. but this is not world war 2, this is a war that was started on LIES. nobody can deny that now, its pure fact – LIES. america and england should be very angry that their countries have lied to them,not to mention the soldiers that are dying for lies, thats where the real war is – the battle for truth.
for the sake of america and the world please do not vote for bush, before he does something even worse.

“On message” is about all that matters in American politics. It’s the tragic flaw in Democracy — every vote is equal (except in Florida); in a society with very little intellectual patience, in which meaningful debate is valued less than worm-eating, can we really expect substance to vanquish style? Watch the interview again. Ignore what Shrub is actually saying and focus only on how he’s not allowing Coleman to dictate the terms of the “interview”. He appears strong and confident, even “Presidential”. Of course, if you’re processing the actual content, he’s still shallow and wimpy. I’d pay top dollar to see Bush trying to survive one episode of the “Question Time” grilling that Tony Blair submits to regularly. Or for that matter a thirty-minute debate with Bill Clinton.

YOU WROTE: In a separate item, Atrios quotes Coleman as follows: “The policy of the White House is that you submit your questions in advance, so they had my questions for about three days.”

QUESTION: Why should GWB, who says he “doesn’t read,” allow anyone else in his administration to do otherwise, especially if the questions submitted were in words of more than one syllable?

Thank goodness there are so many people who see how frightening and dangerous “dumb” can be… and has been. What scares me more are reactions like Doc Clarke’s where just staying on message is the important thing. Don’t answer questions, don’t prove your case, just blunder through like a bull in a china shop ignoring any opinion that differs from your own. I can accept it if he would at least thoughtfully consider it and provide some other rationale. But we won’t get that from that brain. ||We have got to get him out of office.

What would the White House have done if they had had to cope with Jeremy Paxman? I think a lot of people who criticised Carole Coleman didn’t realise that in Europe this is how we interview our ~~employees~~ leaders. Who can forget Jeremy Paxman’s interview with the then Home Secretary Michael Howard on BBC 2’s Newsnight. Paxman asked Howard a straight yes or no question. When Howard tried to prevaricate he kept asking the question for a total of 15 times. (It subsequently turned out that the tape with the next item had broken and Paxman had to improvise until it was fixed.) The intersting thing is Howard didn’t take it personally. At one of those reviews of the year (or decade, or something) Howard and Paxman had a good laugh about the whole thing.

I just got through watching the interview using the RTE archives.

I cannot understand what the fuss is about. I have seen even lightweights like Wolf Blitzer hector Clinton more aggressively. What would the White House have done if they had to cope with Charles Wheeler instead of Coleman?

I am equally surprised that the Sindo reported that Ahern or his spokesperson said that “within Government there was an acknowledgement that the interview lacked respect.” I hope that was just Irish diplomacy instead of round heels.

Every US citizen should dust off their old high school copy of George Orwell’s “1984.” It’s never been more appropriate since the day it was written than it is right now.

It’s an embarrasing time to be from the US. And its a challanging time ahead for us all. The United States has been taken over in a right-wing fascist fundamentalist coup. Watch Bush get re-elected, because the neo-cons have control of the vote with diebold. Then kiss any semblance of Democracy goodbye, along with our constitution. We’ll see a wave of violence and World domination that will make Iraq look like Sunday school.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Carole Coleman exposed the true George W. Bush. Read BUSH ON THE COUCH – INSIDE THE NIND OF THE PRESIDENT, by Justin A. Frank M.D. to learn why President Bush acts the way he does.

RE: �The policy of the White House is that you submit your questions in advance, so they had my questions for about three days.�

This explains why Bush was not a stammering fool.

BUT HE WAS A STAMMERING FOOL
