Transcript of Russert/Bush interview

[Thom Pain]

The combined intelligence agencies of the free world couldn't find the MULTI-NATION NUCLEAR BLACK MARKET operated by the Pakistani (Pakistan nominally on OUR side)! How do you expect to unequivocally know the whereabouts of a few hundred litres of Anthrax/VX? I say we err on the side of caution. When one of our cities disappears in a nuclear cloud, will the Dems say we should have acted sooner? The risk of inaction is too great!

[zook]

The thing that bothers me is that I think I could make Bush's case on Iraq more effectively than he did. It makes me wonder about his advisors.

"Perhaps you can give me a short list of the conservative accomplishments manifested by the George Bush White House
or the Republican Congress?"

TR: Since we didn't find WMD, was war in Iraq war of choice or of necessity?

It was a Necessary Choice, Tim.

MTP; Jobs promised from tax cuts have not happened.

GWB; It is happening...

This thread is about the Sunday Morning Talk Shows.

If it wasn't said on a talk show on Sunday, 2-8-2004, you are off topic. Please take your Bush is Conservative/Bush is Liberal arguments someplace else.

[Peach]

Do other Freepers have an opinion on President Bush's opinion?

I have mixed feelings. Sincere, certainly. Hesitant at other times. Almost too polite to Russert, if that makes sense.

Do you get Russert later in the day? I guess I'm not confortable making judgments on Bush's demeanor.

[maica]

I saw that interview with Matthews and Ron Reagan. He was vicious! What's up with that?

Because GWB is more like Reagan's son than Ron Jr.?
*****

Absolutely, it must gall RR,jr every day that another president's namesake/son is such a leader. And Chris Matthews must think he has struck gold, getting Ronnie to whine on command.

[onyx]

Gee, apparently, Russert has an agenda..... who knew?

[dawn53]

You know Russert is a typical lib? Whine about the bad and ignore any good that is happening.

[ontos-on]

...And he also said, " I don't want to sound like a b-r-o-k-e-n r-e-c-o-r-d, Tim but........" This is how he cleverly communicated that he realized TR was asking the same question about 10 times.

[windchime]

We should inundate Russert's email with document attachments!

Re: Do you get Russert later in the day? I guess I'm not confortable making judgments on Bush's demeanor.

Bush is at least always polite. Even in the face of B.S. questions.

[cyncooper]

LOL!

Now I feel justified in calling Russert "slow-witted" earlier.

MTP starts here in less than 20 minutes.

"See how many were polled, when they were polled, and what group in particular was polled. This is where the manipulation occurred."

Published polling data is almost never reported in its raw form. The data are adjusted for such things as registered voters, deomgraphics, geographic location, etc. The adjustment may be quite significant in terms of altering the actual numbers. In my opinion, this adjustment is where the manipulation occurs.

[onyx]

POTUS is always polite. Maybe even too polite for our tastes. But, the independents and the not-deaf-and-dumb democrats think well of him for it.

[Peach]

William was giving answers to another Freeper who WAS off track but I think we've all agree to stay on track with the shows and at least TRY to ignore attacks.

[MEG33]

When are you running for office?

[dawn53]

I think his politeness plays to his advantage against the vicious attacks of the Dem candidates and McAuliffe.
