- atdigg, on 10/10/2007, -18/+365That's what happens when you have a monkey as president, actually I'd prefer the person who asked the question to be the president of US.
- Diggworthy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+237Everyone who voted for Bush should be forced to watch this. Twice.
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -4/+196At least she didn't get tasered.
- Kyrgizion, on 10/10/2007, -5/+130Makes me long for the ol' days when all America's greatest concern was a ***** blowjob...
- SeoulBrother, on 10/10/2007, -2/+112"This is what deligation, I don't mean to be dodging the question, although it's kinda convenient in this case."
- loggia, on 10/10/2007, -4/+64Bush: Heh. I don't who Cheney is accountable to either. Heh. Heh.
- Marlz, on 10/10/2007, -6/+63The.....dumbest.....man......aliiiiive.
At the end he says "This is how I work. I'm a.....ummm.....thanks (audience laughs AT him)"
The guy can't even complete his own thought. Total fool. - Winston84, on 10/10/2007, -2/+49I doubt the Diebold-machines care how many times you force them to watch it ....
- heystoopid, on 10/10/2007, -9/+55Impeach this scum now !
- SeethisPass, on 10/10/2007, -6/+50Bush is not the main moron. We are more important morons for tolerating him
Look what they do in our names
http://www.thewebfairy.com/911/binaries/Aegis-PSD. ... - octophobic, on 10/10/2007, -6/+47That is a paraphrase and not a direct quote. It is misleading to use quotes around the title sentence.
- brockpetrie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+38You people need to stop pretending he's this idiot monkey who can't tie his own shoes. Look at everything he has accomplished; the man is sadistically brilliant.
He used a totally unrelated pretext to get us into a totally unjust war. And he gets away with it. Why? Because everyone in this country keeps blaming everything on his fake stupidity and saying "He's too retarded to think up this scheme." He pretends he can't say nuclear and look what happens: everyone in the country focuses on the fact that he couldn't pronounce a word in his speech rather than criticizing the actual speech itself. He pretends he wants to go to Iraq because of 9/11 and because Saddam tried to kill his daddy, and look what happens: It all goes perfectly to plan, and the country thumbs its ass and complains that he went to war because Saddam "tried to kill [his] daddy." Wake the ***** up; he went for geopolitical reasons - mainly to ensure the stability of the petrodollar - not any other reason. And all you ***** eat this charade up like pudding and appease yourself with sound bites while watching political commentary from comedic satirists, repeating "what a moron" over and over to yourselves.
No person is that stupid. Go look up speeches he used to make in the Texas gubernatorial - the lack of a southern drawl will startle you (he's from Connecticut, not Texas), as well as his impressive vocabulary and diction. This man is pretending to be a President who's too stupid to be an evil mastermind, and everyone in this country is playing right into it. Monkeys don't have the ability to do the brilliantly *****-up, evil things this guy has done in the past 7 years. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36it.never.ends
- 68024, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30Isn't he a barrel of laughs!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31That was a very simple and a valid question. Answering, "I don't know" is not acceptable from the leader of U.S. Bush was going to ask Donald Rumsfeld, who earlier also replied to that same question by "ASSUMES those private contractors fall under Iraq's laws..." Yes Rummy is not there now to give an answer but I'd like a report to ask the same question today to him.
- DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30Yeah and submit innocent people to their "thuggery" rather than be subject to it yourself, even though they're Americans.
- Flytrap, on 10/10/2007, -4/+30As long as the people that are dying are not American... then its okay.
Sheesh! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28GUTTS, he sent mercenaries to Iraq with a free pass to murder civilians, then he laughs because he has no idea who they answer to, and you think the problem is that he isn't a big talker.
The problem isn't his communication skills, the problem is that he is completely unprepared for the responsibilities that the President of the United States is beholden to perform. The problem is aggravated by his lack of humility and self doubt. He is messing everything up. Everything he touches turns to death and a loss of our liberty, yet he never doubts himself, which means that he will never improve.
I don't think that you know what he is about. I don't think that he knows what he is about - 68024, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26'At least he gave an honest answer'. That's exactly why people voted for him- he seems like such an average Joe. The problem is, he really IS an average Joe, or even an under-average Joe. Meaning that perhaps he can connect to a large enough % of the population, but as an acting president... he is totally incompetent. Stop being fooled by this type of 'honestness'. Perhaps yes he's honest, but also recognize that from the point of view of controlling a worldpower this really is not what is the best for your country or the rest of the world.
- 83457, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26how could it be worse? I mean really
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25"The person who asked the question started laughing with the president."
"You guys need a no-nonsense person"
I think you misunderstand. That wasn't because she was not taking things seriously and thought it was OK to just laugh it away if he did, but because she thought the president was joking. That should be evident since she kept going on in detail what she meant, when the president was clueless, and in the end he had to tell he was actually not joking. And then awkwardness set in. :-p - TekTrixter, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting. "
Stranger in a Strange Land - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23And like everything else he attemps, it failed
- CrazyArcher, on 10/10/2007, -6/+27Bush and people like him are definitely a blight on this nation, but I'm starting to think that maybe he really isn't that stupid. He just does not care about anyone outside of his, as Cracked.com put it, "Monkeysphere".
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21The shot heard round the world.
- reddikilowatt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21I think the question we are asking should be who that woman is and why is she majoring in Asian Studies and not Journalism? In that situation would you have the stones to stand up and ask the most powerful man in the world a loaded (and excellent) question like that? The white house press corps certainly doesn't. I'm not saying he should have had an answer at that moment, but someone should have been asking these questions when the Rumsfeld doctrine was being put in place. Sadly, it was presented as a shortcut to cost reduction (and anyone who believes that might be interested in a bridge I have for sale in Brooklyn), without any test against the constitution. You'd think that the founding fathers, who just finished fighting a coup de' taut with the English, who used a mercenary force against them, might not think it was such a good idea...
- halfabean, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17don't blame me, I voted for this guy's cat.
- asteron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15When you put something in quotes you are referencing a statement. If they don't specifically say that you are the one being dishonest.
To paraphrase use a ':' - DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -14/+29The question was just laughed off and everyone had a good time. Pointless.
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14This is what delegation is for... in other words... I delegate
- MonkeyHugger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16That is simply amazing. Talk about digging a hole for yourself. "Help"..."I don't mean to be dodging the question but it's quite convienent".
And the delegating work excuse? WTF! You're meant to be the most powerful man in the world and you delegate such important responsibilty as that. Just show's why the invasion in Iraq has totally destablisied the security of the Middle East. - LeeSoong, on 10/10/2007, -7/+20Arrest Bush
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16It's sad when someone not old enough to vote is smarter than 50% of America. This is why the voting age should be 16 as well the drinking age. The people above 30 are dumber than those below 18.
- SuperMoses, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Well, he's had time to figure out the answer... how many in the media have asked him this question since then?
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13The contractors have to follow Iraqi law. So they are lawless. They are accountable to no one. You can't charge them under US law in US courts.
- bossm4n, on 10/10/2007, -27/+38At least he gave an honest answer. I could picture a few hundred other politicians not knowing the answer to that question just making with a bunch of double talk or simply saying what people want to hear. It was a good question though.
- smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11how is this funny? it's funny that we're paying hundreds of millions of dollars to private contractors who abuse, torture, and kill innocent civilians in iraq? it's funny that our president is accomplice to this and is completely indifferent to the situation? or is it funny that all of this is creating more and more people who hate america, a fraction of whom will inevitably contribute to future acts of terrorism against U.S. citizens?
this isn't a joke. people's lives are at stake here. - archistudent, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Not me. I caught on to this game in 2002. I heard GeeDub talking. I knew.
I've been calling for his impeachment since 2003. - nihilite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Bush thinks he is smart enough to order a war, then says he does not know who they are accountable to. He sends these troops in there to kill in his name, then acts like someone else should take the blame.
This ***** guy. - kreneskyp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11splitting hairs. willful ignorance. you sicken me
- Bdog2g2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12No you should reverse that, because the skull is for holding brains and Georgie Porgie has none.
- nihilite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11What - you mean the President of the United States of America? Yeah - it might be nice to see him make a decision or two regarding the hundreds of thousands of people we're murdering.
to paraphrase what is happening here, the president has employed a huge mercenary force and put them into a foreign country. These mercenaries are murdering innocent civilians. The President, our nation's highest executive leader responsible for deployment of troops, claims he does not know who the mercenaries are responsible to. He thinks it is pretty funny.
Treat this like a mad-lib. Substitute the leader of another country, say Putin, instead of Bush. Makes him sound like a war criminal instead of an incompetent buffoon. - karek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11It doesn't surprise me either, however I cannot find it funny. I'm all about comedy, but when that's the supposed "leader" of this country not having any answers and looking like a *****, laughter is not the first thing that pops into my head... Maybe it's just me, but I don't find that ***** "cute" or "endearing" to say the least.
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9they were operating on american soil. in new orleans we were paying blackwater 1k per day per guard.
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12i can't believe this ***** clown laughs about not knowing who they are accountable to, and the audience laughs too. he's the god damned president, he should know (i'm sure he knows it no one, just can't say the words). the innocent people dying at their hands probably don't find it so funny.
- NSXDavid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11As it turns out, I voted for President Bush. I voted for him twice. It might or might not give you solace to know that saying this, as it is now, embarrasses me. I respect the office of the Presidency so much that saying our president is a dangerous idiot goes against my nature, but not saying it is far more offensive.
I can say this. The President has one redeeming quality: No one else in history has such an aptitude for determing the absolute correct course of action in any situation. Think about it. If you want to know what to do, simply look to the President. Let me speak his mind. Listen careful. And then do the precise opposite.
(sigh) - TotalHalibut, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Good, you don't wanna see him making decisions do you?
- DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Ridiculing questions the president can't answer happens all the time by the president and by the people submitting questions. A one off is fine, but when your president just makes a joke out of everything he can't answer you need someone to say "Hey, this isn't funny and we would like an answer".
- SeethisPass, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10This is Aegis , not Blackwater the film was archived as a trophy on the Aegis website.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12kingspit, military contractor=blackwater. get it?
