WH Press Briefing, December 12 2007

[freestuffffff]

Watching Perino-bot dance around the truth day after day is very entertaining. One day steam is going to pour from her neoprene ears.

[gnolti]

Question for Dana: Will you flash your b00bs, just once? Thanks!

[nilent]

At last, a subject upon which this perky

PR lady is a certifiable expert: Congressional Balls!!!

[dave98503]

want to see something else that is funny?

type in:

"Bushtalk at Sydney Summit"

on youtube.

no space between Bushtalk.

[dave98503]

has anyone seen on youtube "cheney falling asleep"...the Prez. makes an error...he says, i wish we could control the wind. Since when in history have we been able to control mother nature. we can't even control a backwards country. then he calls the winds "westerly" instead of the Santa Ana winds. Does anyone there brief the Prez. about CA and it's lingo...or did it just go right past his mind?

(just my opinion. leave this post up a couple months. Thank you.)

[dave98503]

If you look at "cheney falling asleep" you will see something funny...but also in regard to what the Prez. says. He says, "I wish we could control the winds". since when are we able to control mother nature? we can hardly do it with countries. then he calls the "winds" westerly winds. I think they are well known in CA as the Santa Ana winds...wasn't the Prez briefed about CA and the disasters happening at the time? (leave post up a couple months)

[apolloscam]

"I was panicked a bit because I really don't know about the Cuban Missile Crisis, or Operation Northwoods," confessed Dana Perino. The utility of arresting White House employees was proven during Watergate and Iran-Contra.

[WeAre1withtheUnivers]

Bush is a puppet... Can't blame bush hes just following orders.

[chervilant]

Oh, but yes, we CAN and SHOULD blame Bush. He could choose NOT to follow orders from the vile Corporatists who've usurped our country, but that would require courage, and fortitude, and an intellect beyond anything poor Dubyah can obtain.

[WeAre1withtheUnivers]

What is this garbage more garbage to feed the garbage? WOw this is sick

[chromethink]

This woman is almost as incoherent as King George himself. What a lousy hire.

[gnolti]

Republican kunt but I would so do her.

[grandpoobarr]

you think that's not intentional?

[gnolti]

Of course it's intentional. Dana is the WH's weapon of mass distraction.

[TVTfan]

Dana Perino is a skanky bitch!

[partymariner]

This is the same dumb bitch who NEVER HEARD of the Cuban Missile Crisis, yet manages to become a press secretary for the president !? Unbelievable!

[Penguin367]

He wanted Harriet Meyers as a Supreme Court Justice. Why are you surprised?

[partymariner]

That's true, good point! "Your doing a hecka' of job Brownie" should have come to my mind!My folks always told me its not what you know but who...so much for social mobility to those who don't know the right people!Only the best and the brightest with cronyism...not!

[annarboriter]

Yes, Dana, there are just too many Democrats now that the president cannot talk with any of them. And if the dems had one position, then he wouldn't talk with them either because they are clearly inflexible.

What is more pathetic for the democracy, the WH mouthpiece or the presscorps that transcribes her insipid drivel.

[UTBESUX]

Yeah, Bush don't talk to anyone he is a DICTATOR so why should he? FIGHT back against these child molesting gay sex scandal frauds! We have lost America to people who don't care about anything but greed and power. The CLAIM to be Christians yet support the death of people in Iraq? That was proven to be a lie. Liberals were right too yet they get slammed by these wingnuts daily.

[rp088814]

Dana Perino needs to lube up her vagina, make me a sandwich, and shut the fuck up. Somebody knock this bitch up, she has way too much time on her hands.

[rp088814]

Watch George Carlin on education. THE ELITES OF THIS COUNTRY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU!

[kevlarthehorrible4]

George Carlin is the man.

[BarbClarkTheMovie]

I have written a dozen letters to Bill Richardson about plans for national health care. All were ignored. The insurance company elite continue to drag money from employers for work comp and refuse to pay the medical bills of forgotten injured health care and 911 rescue workers. Seems like Bill Richardson is another member of the elite. Adventist Health System. God Bless America.

[tob244]

How can anyone veto children's health insurance? Bush and everyone in the white house needs to wake up. Must Americans and most Republicans support this bill.

[cr6880]

She couldn't have made herself any more clear....the DEMS must take a position that W agrees with, THEN he will negotiate.

Bullshit----look up the damn word "negotiate" in the dictionary!  Perino sucks.

[stealth63]

Classic repub talking points: accuse your opponent of doing what you are doing. The dems won't compromise? The dems won't negotiate? Absolute, unmitigated BS. King George is unwilling to negotiate. In Nov, remember who has obstructed the political process. I guarantee the repubs will say the dems couldn't accomplish anything. "Cooperation", my ass.

[septube26]

Damn stupid!

[upconstruct]

There is no more to spend just more debt to pass on.Each and every time they have another budget its just more debt-TRILLIONS.If they ran a business this way it would be bankrupted many times over,but its a incompetent gov that can have money printed,taxes raised,and inflation brought on while they cover their asses.-Pathetic

[blair227]

Bush has accomplished 2 things; a dumbed down public who actually listens to this shit and a dumbed down press who act like tools for him.

[nothankyoumam]

"He won't be able to sign these bills?" Why? Is he illiterate?

[CCottel]

She doesn't seem to understand that a difference exists between the issues and the democrats themselves. Anyone else tired of this semantic crap?

[xertian]

King George third must have been a Republican.

[rp088814]

Tamarlane interns for boosh

[TAMARLANE]

An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.

[rp088814]

Congratulations, you own a dictionary.

[mcalien24]

this is so frustrating to watch...we are in the bizzaro world

[Toddo31]

Wow. She really hates her job. Just listen to the first two things she says in the first 17 seconds of this video.

She has to be the WORST press secretary in history

[rp088814]

Hello, my name is Dana Perino, and I'm a nasty bitch with no charisma. I'm terrible at my job, as I inspire hatred and revolutionary feelings, as opposed to understanding and positive feelings about the worst administration in history. I'm afraid the proletariat will place my head on a pike after figuring out what fucking brazen liars we are.

[mcalien24]

im feelin revolutionary

[TAMARLANE]

[rp088814]

Congratulations, you passed your high school logic course.

[TAMARLANE]

This is Jr. High School graffiti on this WH briefing, daily.

Any idiot, including me, could have made my observation. Except, maybe, you?

[Bolgernow]

Tamarlane, when Dana says, "It's not incumbent on the president to resolve the Democrats inconsistencies", everyone sees she's creating a false position/straw man by blaming others not present in the room for the presidents irrational behavior in not meeting directly. Bush could meet with Reid(Senate Dem leader) & Pelosi(House speaker) to clear this up since they speak for their majorities. The president has no intention of doing that. Rather than say that, she's chose to lie.

[TAMARLANE]

If you say so. I took her at her word that the dems have at least 4 differing positions and her question was "Whom would you negotiate with?" seemed straightforward to me. The news all over the media today, from many differing sources, seemed to back her up. The dems are in disarray.

[laleeloolelo]

"I took her at her word that the dems have at least 4 differing positions and her question was "Whom would you negotiate with?" seemed straightforward to me".

Then you've been duped by her my friend.

There are no "4 differing positions", it's just an excuse so Bush can veto.

[TAMARLANE]

But of course there is also the fact that the SCHIP legislation passed and presented to the Pres is flawed.

My wife's cousin, a Tatar, is named Lale. Any connection there?

Bush doesn't need an excuse to veto. He can veto, and the congress can override. Or not.

[laleeloolelo]

If it's fact then you must have something to corroborate it, so do you have it?

"My wife's cousin, a Tatar, is named Lale. Any connection there?".

Don't think so. Unless your wife is from Indonesia.

"Bush doesn't need an excuse to veto".

Politically he needs a good excuse if he doesn't have a good reason for it.

As for congress override they tried that once but the repub just filibuster.

[TAMARLANE]

Wife's cousin is Lala. Not Lale. Islamic.

I think this is a tempest in a teapot, this video. People practising to bash Bush no matter what. Keep the pressure on Bush. He is out of politics soon and needs no political collateral at this point.

I'm done here. Yesterday Reid said something derogatory about Pelosi. And neither have been willing to negotiate ANYTHING with Bush.

[laleeloolelo]

"People practising to bash Bush no matter what".

People bash Bush because he's been a bad president.

This SCHIP debacle just one more reason to bash him.

[TAMARLANE]

Sort of like kicking a dead horse isn't it?

And congress is a failed congress. You may want to bash them a little, from afar, for missed opportunities, failed policies, and faulty focus.

I mean, why limit your "encouragement" to Bush?

Hone your bashing skills.

[laleeloolelo]

"I mean, why limit your "encouragement" to Bush?".

I have a soft spot for mentally retarded people.

BTW i a have a spoofer on YouTube who goes by the name of laleeleelelol and you can read his "comments" on Veracifier vid about Sen Kit Bond description of waterboarding.

[Bolgernow]

"I'm done here. Yesterday Reid said something derogatory about Pelosi. And neither have been willing to negotiate ANYTHING with Bush".

Really? Fascinating. What exactly did he say about Pelosi? Please list your source for these assertions.

[Bolgernow]

There in lies the rub. Anyone in DC or who has access to the internet knows it's Reid & Pelosi who the president would talk too. He doesn't want too. As for, "The dems have at least 4 differing positions". What are those positions then? Dana didn't present them because they do not exist, she created a straw man argument to avoid the question. They only had ONE position to PRESENT the SCHIP legislation to the president in the first place, so her assertion logically makes no sense. Insane.

[jumboband]

I don't think she even knows that she's lying anymore. That's a PR person's job. To spin so much that they can't even see the truth anymore.

It's really quite sad.

[GretchenDawntreader]

OK I'm certainly not a Dana fan, but I think we can agree she is a tool without making jokes about bodily functions. I'd feel the same way if she was male up there talking.

[nothwind]

She's a total liar, a professional liar, like most politians. Vote Ron Paul, the only candidate to even consider.

[Bolgernow]

She's a farce...a human lying machine who's an affront to humanity...

She makes pedophiles look noble......

[putittogether]

Hail Bush, Hail Bush, Hail Bush

[marcusjansen239369]

what a slave to the sytem. Sell out or just plain naive!

[rp088814]

I wonder how long it took the bitch to do her hair this morning, and if the process was complicated by having to change her bloody tampon.

[Wunpawng]

I agree.

[rp088814]

While she climbs the political ladder, her ovaries are rotting from old age. That makes me laugh. Stupid cunt.

[RockinRowdyRufus]

"We don't have time to worry about sick children, we've got a war to win! Oh, you don't buy that? Here, look at this hott chick. 9/11, 9/11, 9/11..." - Prez. Boosh

[IloveUSA1950]

such a beauty

[GretchenDawntreader]

Perinospeak:

"let's take a step back" = this conversation isn't following my script

jokes over the punchbowl = negotiating with senate leaders

gotta love it.

[foxdragoon84]

No SCHIP for sick poor kids, since, you know, we put kids first.

The veto is for the kids! You can hear the joyous laughter and cheer from kids all over the US whenever Bush vetoes another SCHIP proposal.

Thank you, President Bush. Thank you.

[kalvinphil]

When is a reporter gonna storm out saying "This bitch hasnt answered a single question since she got the job" Its worthless for reporters to be there. They are wasting their time and getting NO answers.

[kalvinphil]

Bush admin. always says they are willing to negotiate as long as the oppositions view is the same as old georgies view. "We will talk to Iran as soon as they do as we say." "We will talk with congress as soon as they do as we say" sound familiar?

[CampHazzard]

I love her so much. She's all I want for Christmas... If I could have one thing, it'd be her... If I could have one more thing, it'd be for her to shut up and quit lying.

[mynameisfunk]

they give her a hard time cause she's dumb, and she takes it pretty bad, cause she's dumb

[copcorona]

look at her face

it is the face of evil

[RoyalKrush]

Bush is the Boss. You take orders from the boss, not tell him what to do.

[laleeloolelo]

That better be a sarcastic remark Krush.

[hypomanical]

I envy her job. She gets paid 6 figures to communicate spin and lies for twenty minutes a day. And it looks like she enjoys it.

[SoBanned]

Imagine how much she will rake in working for the private sector. Lying makes money.

[sabbathmeister]

I don't understand why he vetoed the child health bill. It was to help more children whose parents were borderline in being able to afford private health insurance right? Just looking at what the two wars cost each year I don't see why he couldn't give the extra $35 billion over 5 years. Doesn't the president like kids? :O

[dscglfr00]

no... duh.

[judithnathan]

In Republican professional circles, Dana Perino is known as a "Gal Friday." In their world, she's the equivalent of a messenger boy, but without a penis.

[boylebongo]

OMG These reporters SUCKQ!!! SERIOUSLY, get a CLUE! DANA is saying, NO, bush is NOT going to reason with congress cause they can't get their shit together. Get a clue, FUCKIN-A!!!! This is really showing me how lackluster and retarded they are. sucks.

[laleeloolelo]

"DANA is saying, NO, bush is NOT going to reason with congress cause they can't get their shit together".

What? R U KIDDING ME?!

The Congress already done their job and when it's Bush's turn he refused and vetoed it then blame it on the Congress AND YOU BELIEVE IT?!

[crazycatfguy]

For Bush to negotiate in person he would have to learn some big words and how to pronounce them. Not going to happen.

[chervilant]

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! Good point!

[Baldenlong77]

She isn't nearly as scary without her gold monkey beside her!(GOLDEN COMPASS joke)

[skinnychef]

i hope that when she cracks, they catch it on camera!!!

[sarcasmosis]

I'm glad no one ever makes the "they're just doing their job" argument in reference to these monsters.

[MikeArmstrong]

why does she keep saying Democrats...Isn't the Whitehouse supposed to be neutral!

[spaniardmale77]

yeah, she did not know what the cuban missle crisis was. Amazing. She was hire like every bush hire. Not for experience but for political reasons. Hers being a pretty face that will say what they want and defend them nomatter what. Condoliza" russian expert" . Duh....dont we need a middle eastern expert, duh but she black and friend of family and loyal. yeehaa!. What about blond? duh, she prutty and will say what we want and lie for us. Yeehaa!

[z8it]

The Press must PRESS !

We, the people; demand and deserve answers to this nightmarish, (Kafkaesque) CIA TORTURE question!

And if the White House knew about it and allowed the tapes to be destroyed !

The Republic must IMPEACH!

That is the remedy! Otherwise we are done as a Free Nation.

[bovover]

that's gotta be the toughest job in the world. Lying continually, stretching the truth, defending evil.

[chervilant]

Blowing smoke up our collective asses, whilst not disturbing a single well-coiffured hair...

[fishhead06]

When she says the Dems need to "negotiate," I think the word she means is "surrender."

[cityview1989]

Dana doesnt even know what was the "Cuban Missle Crisis" was about and she speaks in front of the most powerful nation.

Shes Bush, but the female version

[mfyyre]

An outstanding example of the public schools :D

[TruthTaste]

Congress is wasting taxpayer time and money by failing to submit bills that the president will sign, the only purpose this serves is an attempt to make the president look bad while everyone just stands around waiting for action to be taken. Disgusting.

[annarboriter]

Where is in your constitution does it say that congress must only vote on bills that the president wants to sign?

I do, however, concur with your disgust.

[TruthTaste]

I agree but we are not slaves to the constuitution, it is a living document, it changes to our will, not the other way around.

[laleeloolelo]

"I agree but we are not slaves to the constuitution, it is a living document, it changes to our will".

Yes it changes to THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE not the will of the president and his cronies!

[1oneundergod1]

any bill passed ''to keep gvt running'' signed by busche will have a signing stateent attatched to it extending it into ww3

[foley15136]

This woman has a degree and minored in political science and DIDN'T know what the Cuban Missile crisis was. At 35 years of age, how do you not know about it?!?

[1oneundergod1]

busche has one unified position [whatever cheeneys is]

pres has open dia-log wih cheeney alne this is set in stone

lets have a united position of impeachment

[foley15136]

How dare Congress send up bills that the President doesn't like!!?!!

[dafttool]

Oh NOW it's the Congress that supposedly doesn't want to talk to the president... Glad you cleared that up, Dana. I was under the impression that it was the other way around. Even here you say that Bush is supposedly being "reasonable" but will "not negotiate" his positions, so you can see where my confusion comes from.

[thid1]

"i think anyone would understand that the president's position is reasonable..."

now, THAT's funny.

[leepakim]

*HOT*

[BlueTunisia]

Stupid.

[Randomambusher]

Dana Pinata.

[ThinkProgressive]

someone took her in back after the last few days and told her to get her act together. Rather than stuttering through her bull she has a well-thought out response on s-chip. You can tell they have had time to come up with a response to these issues, as opposed to the CIA tapes and the NIE. This time they can blame it on the democrats. Ridiculous.

[wntoply6]

everythime this dold opens her mouth, she just reinforces the fact this administration is the most incompetent in modern times.

dana you said you view youtube, don't you know america sees thru your bullshit?

[Democracy1st]

Amazing simply amazing and some people still can't see thru this crap

[ComedyJesus]

Dodgey Dana.

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge.

[wntoply6]

i know bullshit when i hear it, and this is pure bullshit on dana's part.

doesn't she realize americans are tired of bush's lies and her coverups?

if this group in the whitehouse ever told the truth, the gods would strike bush dead and take him to, to, "where ever" immediately!

[gallomex13]

"...people geting the answers they are requesting..."

we being waiting for real answers for 5 years now, what the fuck she talking about!

[hypnofan35]

Who knew what when? That is a classic conspiracy dodge. We could probably crack this nut if we just got busy and waterboarded the enemy, or some department heads, or however that might be said.

[chervilant]

Let's waterboard Bush. I'm confident he'd crack in about 4 seconds.

[bluehoneycomb]

HA HA HA! Good Idea!!!

[hypnofan35]

Maybe we could trick the president into vetoing himself. That's the ticket. Veto boy could be tricked.

[wiskawind]

Bush and his Republican henchmen having been trying to pull off a coup, right under our noses! They are all guilty of treason!

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Abraham Lincoln

[kardan77]

What about illegal search and seizure? check out

"COPS BEAT ME" on Yotube.

[Davidthorough]

Well, I'm sure glad to hear that it's all the Democrats fault. Keeps it simple. Good God! Comparing chatting at the Congressional Ball with serious negotiations. Only this administration would say that with a straight face.

[eneliatarknenah]

SCHIP would not deny any children who are already covered by Medicare, but it would cover additional children, whose families make up to $80,000 per year. Step 1 to socialized medicine: increase number of children on welfare. Socialized medicine is bad because it gives the government the power to make health care decisions for you and your doctor. Republican neo-cons are trying to turn this into a fascist authoritarian state, Democratic neo-cons want a socialist authoritarian state. You decide.

[wiskawind]

A smart ass is better than a dumb elephant any day; safer too! (wink)

[canolorenzo]

you must be a retard.

[zmgriffith]

Oh, he WON'T BE ABLE to sign them....

They're sending him "VETO LEGISLATION..."

What bullshit.

Spewing this filthy garbage as if they President gives a shit about children.... he cares about a few insurance execs that that's it....

Hell waits for this entire administration with open arms.

[gobigorange99]

Children don't need insurance! I wish 2009 would come already!

[Alba67]

Blonde, empty head, plent of bling, well dressed - she'll go far!

[GretchenDawntreader]

heh we are vetoing everything and senate republicans are fillibustering everything yet it's the democrats' fault for not coming to a consensus.

Bush wants to be the only branch of government. Words cannot express how happy I will be to see him leave the WH. He can take Perino with him. She's a total tool.
