Bush Cracks Wise With Press at Radio and Television Correspondents' Association Dinner

Wednesday, March 28, 2007

WASHINGTON — At an annual dinner for broadcasters, President Bush poked fun at himself and a few others in remarks that drew laughter and applause.

"A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," Bush said at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner Wednesday.

"Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days."

Bush thanked the association for providing the dinner, "and I'd like to thank Senator Webb for providing security.".....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,262200,00.html

You gotta watch the Karl Rove video. Give It Up for 'MC Rove' (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,262200,00.html#)

Won't play for me.

[MrSanity]

As Reaganesque as it gets.

I'll miss his sense of humor when he's out of office. I wonder what kind of jokes Hillary and Obama would attempt.

They'll probably have plenty of Effin' botched jokes.

[BuckeyeMike]

Prolly have Robin Williams or George Carlin come in to do it for them!

The best story was something like "You get a lot of scrutiny as President. I can say I've been screw-tinized just about every day."

[Lubbock]

I too will miss his self-effacing humor and good nature when he's out of office. The NYT and Compost, et al, will never be able to point a finger at GWB and assert that he was anything other than "polite;" will never be able to call attention to any event of rudeness or incivility.

That siad, there have been many, many times during his Presidency --MANY times, when I would have much preferred that he had simply stepped before the cameras and called a spade a spade, flat out, straight up.

It would have been a very simple thing, during this past couple of months of the Dem-led congress playing fast and loose with our troops in harms way, for GWB to stand up and say: "I don't understand why these people are advocating for for the overthrow of America."

It wouldn't have taken any effort on his part over the last couple of years, dudring a press conference, to point out the lies purported by people like Sheehan, instead of, "It's America and we have freedom of speech."

I could point to a thousand instances during GWB's Presidency when he never defended himself against the Dems.

I've bitched because the elected Republicans have not defended GWB, allowed the Dems to lie like dogs and get away with it; in truth, it seems that GWB set the tone for that.

I've never believed that there is anything wrong with calling a liar a liar.

Enough lies to fill a warehouse have been told about GWB and the War on Terror, and my gripe with GWB is that he has let the lies stand.

I guess no ever told him that a lie told often and loud, and unrefuted, becomes the truth.

GWB will be twenty years out of office before a book will be published that tells the truth, and by then, no one will care --and we're apt to be fighting this War on Terror right here on our own soil by then.

The left is an apt pupil of Josef Goebbels. If you lie long enough and loud enough you will get enough people to believe you so you can accomplish your purpose.

[DeclinetoState]

If you lie long enough and loud enough you will get enough people to believe you so you can accomplish your purpose.Unfortunately, the left doesn't have to lie all that long or that loud to turn the trick.
