‘Mildly profane’ Bush ‘crashes’ Republican meeting on Iraq.
Fox News reports that “President Bush shocked Capitol Hill staffers and Republican leaders Monday when he crashed a meeting at the White House. … His message: the policy on Iraq isn’t changing. He is not backing down and no one on Capitol Hill should be confused into thinking he is letting up.” Watch the segment:
Bush was described as “folksy, adamant and mildly profane” when he interrupted the meeting. “It was stunning. We couldn’t believe he came in,” said one aide in attendance. “We kept looking at each other, amazed he came in,” said another.

July 17th, 2007 at 2:34 pmThat SOB has never “mildy profane” in his useless life. He was born totally profane!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:35 pmOne of these days, they’re going to find him lying on the WH lawn in the morning, in his jammies, empty whiskey bottle clutched tightly in one hand, muttering over and over to himself something about, “Jesus and the little children…”
July 17th, 2007 at 2:36 pmNO!!! I don’t care if that is an Iceberg, we are not turning the friggin ship!!!!!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:36 pmJust five days ago, Bush said, “There is a perception in the coverage that al Qaeda may be as strong today as they were prior to September 11. That’s just simply not the case.â€
Since the NIE stating just the opposite was published and released yesterday, it is out of the realm of possibility that Bush hadn’t read it or been told about its findings. So, it looks like Bush was lying to the American people about the most important issue facing our nation. I wonder if any of these poor, stunned excuses for journalists asked him about this. 20WordsorLess, can you explain why Bush would lie to us about this important issue?
July 17th, 2007 at 2:36 pm#2…….even the full 20 words ain’t gonna help an idiot …….so stick to the less, better yet zero?
You aren’t fooling anyone. Only paid shills, nutburgers, ignoramuses, and/or sociopaths still support this “president.” Haven’t you heard?
July 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pmBush’s despiration to keep Iraq going speaks volumes.

July 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pmGood to see the old Bush back in action.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pmNope. The guy is psychotic. He’ll never see what he doesn’t make up in his head. Never will he “come around” or even breakdown. He is lost. There is no returning from where his mind is.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmOr perhaps there will soon come that day when we get to watch Duh-bya being led off in a straight jacket to the waiting ambulance, for that final ride to a rubber room someplace quiet.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmWhat hell does the report mean by the statement “mildly profane”? Does that mean that boy Bush was swearing mildly, in a folksy manner? Wonder what that would sound that. Guess it was just another one of his little boy temper tantrums. Oh, to be all about “me”. That’s our George!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmOf course, there’s always a chance it’ll be the Ole Perp Walk…
July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmThis guy is out of control… he cant reason out with us why he thinks we should follow his lead… and appears to be stubborn to the point of recklessness…

July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmThis is a guy about to lose it.
Once the righties in Congress finally figure out that supporting this botched war will be their undoing next year, they’ll bail in strong enough numbers that chimper will finally realize he’s lost control and will likely do something drastic. Domestic False flag or bombing runs over Iran are a pretty safe bet.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pmbizarre behavior… he’s losing it…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
July 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pmCrashed a meeting at the White House?
Newsflash, idiots in Congress, its his White House!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:40 pmWhat a damned joke. Chimpy needs to crash a meeting he wasn’t invited to try to browbeat his increasingly conscious party members back into meek submission.
What’s next, Chimpy? Gonna bug their conference rooms, so you know when someone’s saying a sour word against you? Gonna start asking for resignations of GOP Congresspeople who dare to disagree with you? Gonna start arresting your detractors as “enemy combatants”?
Laugh at my hyperbole all you like, but remember: before 2000, if someone came back in time from this year and made dire predictions of how this Idiot son of Bush was going to hijack the government of the greatest nation in the world and set the planet on fire, we would have laughed at him, too.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:40 pmGood to see the old Bush back in action.
Comment by Ringo
Ah, yes, Bush is having his own personal “Surge”.
Ringo, are you having a surge too? Did you FINALLY feel it “move”?
Just like the “surge” in Iraq, and Bush’s personal “surge”, your “surge” will be a failure too.

Hate to let the boy Bush know this, BUT, al Qaeda is winning in Afghanistan and may very well be winning in Pakistan. Hummm… now what country has the “bomb” and missles to deliver the “bomb”? Could it be Pakistan? And Cheney said we had to worry about Saddam creating a mushroom cloud.

July 17th, 2007 at 2:43 pmPotential reasons for interrupting the meeting:
- Doesn’t trust Tony Snow to do his job any more than we do
- His ears were ringing and he thought they were talking about him behind his back
- Thought it was the door to the bathroom, and pretended to have something to say other than “oops.”
- Just really in a mood to yell at someone
- Wanted to use the break in decorum to emphasize to GOP leaders that they have become complacent in their constricted lines of thought and they should ‘work outside the frame’ when using tactics to counter the growing dissent
- Drunk
July 17th, 2007 at 2:44 pmBush has his orders and there’s nothing he can do about it. The speech was for his fellow Republicans and the up coming votes. He is telling them they must vote to keep the money coming and keep the troops in Iraq or he’s got hell to pay. As for the American people he could care less about them. As he told American move on get over it, what Americans wont or think means nothing to him. More money is needed to pay off the Churches for Vitter and other GOP leaders who names are about to be released. Fingers Foley needs money for his lawyers and alot of hush money is needed. It takes alot of money to keep a crime going so Bush is just letting his GOP friends know not to listen to the American people.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:45 pm“Newsflash, idiots in Congress, its his White House!”
Newsflash, idiot; it’s ours.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:45 pmCome on all you guys. Why the mean words to each other. So Bush is actually paying attention. That is a start.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:45 pmThe one contingency that our Constitution really does not cover is Bush, an idiot of doubtful mental capacity or sanity.

…And there’s plenty of reasons to impeach the schmucks under this standard too. Thanks for the lame civics lesson by the way. Also, impeachment is political, so a basis exists once congress says so.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:46 pmSorry, TripMaster Monkey; didn’t realize you had already made the same obvious point.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:46 pmI want to see Bush be this stubborn. I want all of America to see what was said in 2004 that he doesn’t care if he is actually right or not, he’ll keep marching on. I remember a political cartoon that showed little GW leading this gigantic hulk (the american voter) that didn’t have a head. They were heading right towards a cliff.
Here’s the cliff.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:46 pmMildly profane language? Gosh, golly, gee.

It appears that you can’t even string eight words together without displaying your abysmal use of the English language.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:47 pmImpeachment is a political tool intended to stop abuse of power. Even Reaganaut Bruce Fein knows it is time to impeach both for the damage they are doing to the Constitution and to our future.
As for Chimp “crashing” a meeting. When isn’t he crashing something? If it isn’t mailboxes in Maine while driving drunk, it’s coffee table when he’s had too many “pretzels” and passes out, or it’s crashing his bike.

How can he know what may happen by September ?????
So all that talk about what general on the ground says is just that talk.
Good or bad we’ll be there till the end of Mr. Imcompent ’s term unless feckless republicans show they CARE more about our SOLDIERS THEN BEING being TEAM PLAYERS for BUBBLEBOY bUSh!!!!!!!!!!!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:50 pmLooks like George fears Cheney and AIPAC more than he respects reality and the will of the people. But don’t let “mildly profane” stand. I’m pretty sure “odious” describes George quite vividly wherever he goes.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:51 pmI’m just waiting for Mr. Bush to announce that God’s working through him. Then he’ll declare that anyone who is against him is against God. I can’t wait to see how Congress reacts then! What’s really scary is that there will be, without a doubt, some people in Congress who will rally behind the “God wills it” campaign.

Ron Paul is OK, but only when it comes to being antiwar. He is a rabid Privatization advocate, against universal health care, and against woman’s rights. He speaks of being against globalization, yet this is exactly where the dismantling of the government, and installing Corporate Control of our entire lives. Strangely like Mussolini I would say.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:52 pm20words, lying the country into a war is exactly what the Founders were thinking about when they described high crimes and misdemeanors. There is also the little issue of breaking our nations laws (FISA), defying international treaties (The Geneva Convention) and overturning what they described as inalienable rights (Habeas Corpus). The ONLY reason he hasn’t been impeached already is they don’t have the 66 votes in the Senate. No president has ever deserved to be impeached more than this guy.

Thanks for the quick history lesson. Most folks who visit TP know VERY WELL what high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed by the current squatters in the WH. We certainly don’t need you to help us understand how our country got off track.

It would have been news if he had walked into a meeting on the Hill, but that he walked in a meeting in the White House is not news. While it doesn’t happen a lot, it has happened with this President and his predecesors.
What a crock of a story.
July 17th, 2007 at 3:04 pmMr. Bush is clearly someone who mistakes his pride for courage. I wonder how long it might take him to change, if he himself faced any real sacrifices. How many of his own family are currently serving in the military?

I think you may be confused about the meaning of the word “impeachment” — you seem to think one needs indictments and convictions in order to impeach.
An impeachment IS an indictment — of an elected (or appointed, in the case of — say — a Supreme Court justice) official by Congress. You don’t get an indictment before you can impeach — that makes no sense.
First comes impeachment — THEN the case is turned over to the Senate for trial — with the Supreme Court presiding. Conviction comes if at least two thirds of the Senate finds the defendant guilty following the trial.
When you ask “Where are the indictments? Where are the convictions?” — you make your ignorance well known.
If you are looking for evidence to impeach, a fair amount has already been racked up. Cheney’s abuse of power, contempt of Congress for both Bush and Cheney, lying and misleading the public to get us into war, commuting Libby’s sentence in an obvious quid pro quo deal, running secret torture chambers, outing a covert CIA agent as a retaliation move, using U.S. Attorneys to influence and challenge elections (and firing them when they don’t comply) — the list goes on and on.
Abuse of power is much, much more than just a Dem talking point here. It’s what’s really going on.

Another lame civics lesson: IMPEACHMENT is an indictment. There is plenty of reason to suspect Bush and Cheney, and absolutely of course Gonzales, of impeachable offenses. It’s a matter of getting around the overuse of executive privilege. If Congress (or the judiciary committee) decides there is enough evidence to support a trial, somebody will be impeached. Then they’ll have a trial in the Houe and either convict or not. IMPEACH does not mean “remove from office.”
July 17th, 2007 at 3:17 pmThey were shocked because the meeting was about what to wear during the filibuster tonight.

Comment by 20wordsor less — July 17, 2007 @ 2:41 pm
Agreed. Let’s start the trials!
Let’s start with Cheney; a simple video (by Glenn Greenwald, I think, it’s on youtube) lays out the case against Cheney. Let me cut to the chase. He consistently Lied, about the capabilities and intent of a sovereign nation in order to coerce the Senate, House, and American people to support a pre-determined war. The lies included statements that Iraq, without a doubt, had fully realized WMD programs, and were determined to use these weapons either directly against the U.S. (or Israel). He also lied about meetings between Iraqi intelligence and Al qaeda.
We all know about his recent declarations that he is free of any restraint from any branch of government, as is the President. Their assertions that they need not comply with the Constitution, or even their own executive orders, are all we really need to impeach. Bush openly admitted he had violated the FISA laws, and would continue to do so.
Maybe you Businistas are okay with that. Those of us who want to see the rule of, law, and the constitution upheld, demand the accountability provided for in the Constitution. Just like some of you insisted we do with the previous President; that is, those of you old enough. It’s ironic that some of Bush’s most vocal supporters here are not old enough to have any kind of historical perspective over the last twenty years, yet they pontificate and bloviate, as teenagers are wont to do, because they think they have the answers.
I think they may suffer from ‘alien hand syndrome’ which causes them to type without control or volition. Like automatic writing, except no intelligence is guiding the hand.
A Swiss-led research team has discovered the cause of alien hand syndrome — a rare neurological disorder that causes involuntary hand movements.
People suffering the disorder might sometimes reach for objects and manipulate them without wanting to do so, even to the point of having to use their healthy hand to restrain the alien hand.

Ah, my point exactly. When they falsely tried to convict Clinton of whatever they felt was illegal about two consenting adults doing the same thing many of them were doing, this guy was maybe 12. An age where he might think fellatio is the name of some star wars character.

Muslim immigration is terrible for our national security. It’s a no-brainer. They have no business being here, understand that.

Comment by CT_V1 — July 17, 2007 @ 3:35 pm
Again, an excellent example of nothing to say, and really not a person who wants to hear it. This is what passes for ‘truth’ and intelligent debate in their world. They do not justify a response as the only thing they hope to accomplish is to get a rise out of someone, and too many people take the bait. I understand the frustration of having done enough reading to have a broad understanding of the issues and what is really at stake. This is not a game, the neo cons running our government view the masses, correctly so I might add, as incapable of handling the truth. If they told the truth, they would have said; ‘Look, Iraq has a lot of oil, we are oil people, and our economic and strategic security, in our view, depends on us using the might of the American military to secure those oil assets. That is what is in the PNAC manifesto. But who among you wants to pour over those tedious and boring documents? But they convinced many to support their ends. To our detriment
July 17th, 2007 at 3:51 pmIt is easier to tell, and re-tell (to catapult the propaganda)big lies and scare people into doing what these guys believe is in their best interest.
In fact, these thugs have been very effective, using their media mouthpieces like Limbaugh, to get Americans to vote against their own best interests. Like with the war, or the Inheritance (Paris Hilton) tax, or any number of issues that benefit the corporatocracy but not the American people. And they have effectively used this propaganda to divide the American people and blind them to the fact that we are committing suicide by following these guys over the cliff.
You want to follow that burning Bush, go ahead. But you 20 somethings want to fight the good fight behind a monitor and keyboard, when if you truly believed, and were not here just to agitate, you would enlist, and put action behind your jingoistic rhetoric.
Now go do some reading, and come back when you can formulate
an intelligent argument, besides Clinton did it, and Bush is great. Save that for your myspace page.

Really? Cause according to a recent Pew survey of Muslim-Americans, most Muslim immigrants do quite well here - the majority are middle-class, in a good financial situation, believe in assimilating into American culture, and are less supportive of violence against civilans than other Americans. So your entire premise is false - we can’t afford NOT to have these taxpaying, pro-Western, non-violent people in this country.
