Bush Admin Best Moments: Ari Fleischer Gets Laughed Out of the Press Room

On February 25, 2003 as America marched to war, rumors swirled that the Bush Administration was bribing other countries to gain their tacit support if not their explicit participation in the Coalition of the Willing.

Here, Ari Fleischer is questioned on this subject. His response leaves the White House press corps in near-hysterics.

9/11 happened on Bush's watch. Do you admit it or do you sidestep the truth?

@Seedofwinter You gotta be joking? Two American diplomats were QUOTED as saying there would be some quid pro quo legislation for Mexico, so to garner the MExican votes. The press caught onto it, and Ari Fleischer basically said, "How dare you say that foreign leaders can be induced (bribed) or that Mex-Amer voters might see that as incentive to vote?"

And they laughed, because only an idiot would miss the fact that that's exactly what was going on. They Laughed. He Left.

Laughed out of the room

@badger5079 -well, of course------------its a total double standard. had it happened on Obama's watch, they would be screaming that he is incompetent, or that, even worse, he was in cahoots w/ the terrorists

9/11 happened on Bush's watch. There were warnings that there would be a mjor terrorist attack in New York using planes and his administration did not pursue that. He made a balls of everything. He failed to protect the American people form 9/11 and his wars did not make America safer.

@badger5079

And what did Bush do? brought them a war. Which Obama and Hillary Clinton were in favor of. And then turned around and bashed on Bush for it. What does Obama do about the fort hood shooter? the NY car bomber? the crotch bomber? the UPS bombs at the air ports, ect. Nothing. He's even taken rights away from our troops, and giving our enemies MORE rights.

@sherman614

How many people died due to Muslim terrorist attacks under Bush's watch?

How many died due to Muslim terrorist attacks under Obama's watch?

Try side-stepping that...

@badger5079

The first trade center attack happened on Clinton's watch, and did nothing but bomb a pill factory after everyone had left. There have been 5 attacks on US soil by Muslims on Obama's watch. Do you admit that? or do you side step the truth?
