President Bush: Holding telecoms accountable is "patently unfair"
By SilentPatriot Wednesday Feb 27, 2008 1:14pm
President Bush tried his very best to scare the American people and distort the debate about illegal wiretapping at today's press conference by spewing falsehood after falsehood. It's genuinely hard to follow this man sometimes. First he starts off by saying that telecoms won't cooperate if they fear getting sued, but in the next breath says that the program is legal. So...the telecoms should have nothing to fear, right? Furthermore, the telecoms are obligated to comply with legal surveillance requests.

Arguably his most deceitful ploy was playing the "trial lawyer" card, despite the fact that these lawsuits are being brought by groups like the EFF who are the the exact opposite of the bogeyman, ambulance-chasing, "gravy train" trial lawyers.
Does this man actually believe what he says or does he just has no problem lying to get what he wants? Or could it be something entirely different?

whatsa matter you? were protecting america!
Is (was) GW Bush the best that this nation could do in electing a president?
Not really sure if he's drunk, or stupid..."patently" stupid. The funny thing is; he talks as if every one in the audience is as dumb as he is. I'm waiting for some one to step up and say "Please stop talking to us like stupid children."
I believe he is just too damn dumb to even know the difference between truth and lies. I'm not joking!
jesus christ, he makes me EYE TWITCH every time I try to follow his nonsense. His entire communication strategy is to say a bunch of confusing, vague, and contradictory things and leave before people untangle them.
I was waiting for this numbskull to get down on all fours and start howling like a dog. God, we are stuck with this dimwit for another year? We are doomed....
Mr President,
Sir, excuse me for being so bold. It is just that you have it all wrong somehow.
It is not the Telecoms we wish to hold accountable. Mr. President that accountability you speak of, it is for you, Sir. That is not unfair as an American still living under a Governance of law (not men) based of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Thank you
I don't understand what the big fucking deal is. Just sign the damn bill as-is and then give a blanket pardon to all telecoms if it's such a noble thing to do.
You guys have to realize: He deals out this bullshit because it is what he truly believes. He thinks that monitering this country's phones for terrorists is for the good of the nation. However he also believes it is for the good of the country for them to be monitered for crime, political dissent, etc.
Hard to say if he's lying or not when he speaks. First you need to hire a Dimwit Interpretor to figure out what he said. I cannot believe that this idiot has been president at all, much less the last 7 years. Truly Americans must hide their heads in shame when that thing comes on the television. The only thing he's missing is a drool.
I'll ask the same question I asked earlier. He says the telecoms were told what they were doing was legal. Who told them that and what was the legality based upon?
What piece of law says that wiretapping someones phone, sans warrant, is legal?
So let's say he wins and the telecoms get amnesty, what next? What other information will he demand of us and what other companies will also receive amnesty for "helping the govt. keep Americans safe"? This is a frightening path he wants to go down.
.
One of the defining characteristics to what it means to be an American, is the freedom from a form of Government that needs to spy on it’s own people; TYRANNY. Thus The Fourth Amendment.
R E M E M B E R:
THEY(sic) HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS…
And so, THEY(sic) lobby and debate the merits to undermining that characteristic, that freedom, that Right. When Americans and America lose that Right and freedom, who wins?
Now that, Mr. President, is what is patently unfair…
p.s.
Warrantless is NOT legal even if the president thinks it is.
.
He said we can't talk to Castro because it sends the wrong signal, then he said he would talk to China when he goes to the Olympics?? And no reporter asked about Rummy with his picture taken with Saddam? What is wrong with this press!! They laughed and giggled like school children, they are as dumb as he is!!
Did anyone catch the two words Bush used when talking about the telcomms helping fight terrorist?
Bush used the words/phase "Believed to" or "allegedly".
The telcoms are "believed" to have helped protect America or Some people have "alleged" that the telcoms have protected america.
Either they have or they haven't. It's obvious this is a scam because Bush can't even say that they HAVE helped protect america.
The best part is when he says;
"My judgement is the will of the people."
People will swallow a lot of BS, but asking them to pity the poor telecoms is a nonstarter. He'd have better luck getting the average taxpayer to shed a tear for an IRS auditor.
Beagle @ 2:
Nope, he was the only one the supreme court and katherine harris would allow us to have.
Perhaps he's just a pathological liar.
Or perhaps he just thinks so little of us that he actually think we'll swallow his shit and smile at him.
I caption that picture "Petulant President Poopy Pants."
He doesn't care about the telcos. Him and his cronies know that lawsuits against the telcos would inevitably provide evidence against their own crimes. He's just covering his ass.
Arrogant bastard thinks he is entitled and doesn't have to answer for the problems he has caused and thinks we should believe him after seven long years of his lies, misconceptions and failures.
I've never hoped for someone to have an untimely demise, but this might be an exception.
Tyree yes we should protect America, but I hope you don't believe the lies Mr. Bush was telling during his news conference. Mr. Bush can't keep his stories straight. He says the surveillance was for incoming calls from across the big pond, however they are listing to us on this side of the pond. They can do it legally by FISA, which he ignores. Our Constitution is much more important than letting Mr. Bush and the Neo-cons have their way. Like they say how can you tell if Mr. Bush is lying. "His lips are moving". I hope we can survive his time in office, but I'm sure he has a few more tricks up his sleeve. The statement about Al Qaeda is partially true, but they are not the ones that belong to Osama's group. Self proclaimed to get Osama's attention. They didn't even exist when we went into Iraq.
Yes let's protect America, but let's do it legally.
It's sad when the biggest balls in the WH press corps belong to Helen Thomas.
Can't anyone else ask the obvious question: Why do the telco's need immunity for something that is (so Bush says) LEGAL?
They don't need immunity for following the law.
They only need it if they BROKE the law.
So if they need it, they broke the law.
And so did the government.
Too bad it's not this obvious to the press...
Bangkok Bob @ 21:
Is it a reflection on Americans that less divisive leaders have been at least targetted, and this buffoon's closest call was with a pretzel? LOL.
The one reporter asked such a good question. He asked bush if he just wanted to get the immunity for the telecoms and if americans were upset about their privacy "they should just suck it up"? bush laughed his usual laugh and said, I wouldn't say it like that, publicly.
I thought that yucking it up moment was very telling. Then bush went on to say that everything they did was carefully reviewed and blah blah blah..
I love it when our little Führer throws a temper tantraum on national tv.
Impeach.
Chuck @ 15:
Piiiifffft! Then he better have his ears checked because
he's not listening to us!

McCain the Liar @ 29:
Really? What country are you talking about? Cause here in America there seems to be quite clique that is getting away with... uh... just about everything.
McCain the Liar @ 29:
Hahahahaha.......sorry, but that was funny.
Making sure the monkeys won't provide state's evidence against the organ grinders.
And by heck, doesn't Bush look TERRIBLE in this. Maybe the magnitude of the disaster he has wrought is even sinking into his thick skull.
In case anyone needs to be reminded, back in 2002 Republican Mike DeWine tried to update FISA and the adminstration effectively said "Thank, but no thanks." And now, Bush says FISA is out of date.

McCain the Liar @ 29:
Apparently, Bush and Cheney are...
Data Mining honest Americans will eradicate terror from the face of the earth!!!!!!
Muahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This punk President is an evil liar who tries to manipulate the public with his 10th grade education. Yeah, you know what's best for us Dubyah. Only the criminally insane thinks this sad ass excuse for a leader can protect even a cockroach. He's desperately hiding something terribly illegal.
Yeah, how unfair. People over a certain income level should never be held accountable.
Dear President Hissyfit, I do not expect the telcos to participate in illegal programs, and they should expect to be sued if they do.
busch is partially correct. He should be impeached as the criminal he is. The compliant telecoms should be given immunity as witnesses so they can testify as to what they did to facilitate his crime. Then they should be fined $1000.00 for each totally domestic call they monitored without a FISA warrant.
We all know that they collect all data that has words like bush, bomb, kill, whitehouse etc in them from phone calls blogs and emails (have fun with that NSA pukes)
Filthy Harry Says:You have it right he's worried about his and his cronies getting put in jail. I wish I had the time to write about all the crimes this President has committed on the American people. Alas the worst crime is Iraq War and the lie to get us there. Hopefully that will be resolved one this man has gone back to Texas to bask in the millions of dollars he and Mr. Cheney have put away through their friends in the Oil Kingdoms and Halliburton. Hopefully the lawyers going after the telecoms will expose this corrupt President for what he is. It would be a thing for the History books X-President goes to jail for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Why has no-one put forth this simple argument:
"If the telecoms did nothing wrong, why do they need immunity?"
He's making it up as he goes along, and doing a very poor job of it.
Notice how, after some uncomfortable stumbling, he comes up with, "The civil liberties of our citizens are treated with respect." He does not say UPHELD.
I wonder if Bush can pardon himself before he leaves office...
The President's nervous laugh in begging of his answer is creepy.
He doesn't seem to take civil liberties seriously.
His argument is that the companies shareholders are more important than American citizens and he blames the opposition as consisting of trial lawyers that want to ride the gravy train.
It what this President were doing were just and legal, there wouldn't be a gravy train to ride on in the first place now would there?
Sitemoniter, thanks for the kudos, I think a picture of trees would have been a good one.
George, you are patently STUPID.
You are a liar.
You are a warmonger.
You are an alcoholic.
You are a megalomaniac.
You are the worst.
OMG - He sounds like a desperate Hillary Clinton. Haha. I'm just kidding. He's not smart enough to sound like Hillary Clinton.
The bush Legacy is a flushable thing. I just wish I could be the one to pull the lever, but I'll settle for just being able to watch as the turd circles the bowl on the way out.
"How can you expect telecom companies to participate if they fear they are going to be sued?"
How can you expect the American people to participate if they fear they are going to be spied on?
Hulk @ 4:
This load of bullcrap--that Bush is too stupid--was, I believe, foisted on America to excuse his reckless, illegal, outrageous conduct not only at present but also when he is eventually tried for the crimes he committed.
Flush Dumbya!
Easy one, He has no problem lying in order to get what he wants, why should he, he hasn't been held accountable for even ONE of them yet!
seele @ 52:
makes a nice bumper-sticker
joshdavis @ 50:
Companies do business every day knowing that their actions will result in lawsuits.
The telecoms are not afraid of being sued, they're afraid of the damage awards when they're found guilty. Of course, with the current SCOTUS (currently reviewing the punitive damage award from the Exxon Valdez disaster) they probably don't have much to worry about.
Ba-WOOOSH!
DarthSaikos @ 9:
I am sorry, darthsaikos, but I don't buy that for a minute. He is fully aware of the depraved criminality that he is a part of.
Site manager, we have a different Ron on here. He has some of my own ideas and thoughts, but I don't want anyone to be confused about who they may be responding to.
After watching this video, I just can't seem to come up with a more pathetic, sad and moronic excuse for an individual. And this represents our nation?!?!? Holy shit.
When he was answering a question about how long Turkey would be in Iraq, he said temporarily, then he said, In other words, a short time.
When he starts saying, "in other words" I want to slap him. He doesn't have to break everything down so that we can understand what he says, we get it.
"Hopefully the lawyers going after the telecoms will expose this corrupt President for what he is. It would be a thing for the History books X-President goes to jail for high crimes and misdemeanors."
Paraguay! Not gonna happen, we need to hold him accountable BEFORE he rides off into the sunset!
Bangkok Bob @ 49:
Here is what happened when a cat overheard someone call Bush a turd:
http://summitprops.com/WaterLeak.htm
Imagine how unfair this sociopath would think it was if he was held accountable for his crimes against humanity.....before the International Criminal Court.
Fuck you, George.
"Does this man actually believe what he says or does he just has no problem lying to get what he wants?
The Chimp simply repeats what Rove -- holed up with Jeff Gannon in a backroom somewhere -- broadcasts to him through the transmitter implanted in his back. No belief or necessary, or possible for that matter.
CoIntelPro @ 39:
Lol YES! Lets see what happens if the congress offers only 'use immunity' for the telcos.
Chuck @ 15:
"Suck it up." His judgement IS the will of the people. He gets more delusional and more pathetic daily.
Brian @ 3:
He speaks to the American people as if he is giving a third grade book report.
He keeps hammering away at wanting to listen in on coversations that are coming in from overseas into the US, but never seems to get around to all the calls originating within the US that they have bee scooping up for years. and oddly enough, niether does the media asking these softball questions.
By the way, this sounds like a rebuttal job for Keith Olbermann.
the 'bush is dumb' people are under the false impression that bush actually wants to do what is right and help Americans other then himself, and his corporate sponsors.
I don't think the telecom would be held accountable if they show that it was order by the govt to spy on Americans. The way the Patriot Act is written states that they have 72 hours to show the warrant for the wiretap. The burden falls on the govt if they fail to produce the warrant.
The fact that Bush is saying that it was allege that they have spied without a warrant, speaks volume that even he doesn't know who they have spied on, or he is lying. Seeking for immunity for the telecoms is actually seeking to block investigation of the govt official that are not complying with the patriot act.
This is not really a telecom immunity bill, but a Bush administration spying immunity bill for those that ask for the wiretap without a warrant from FISA.
Excerpt from Preznit Chimpwit McDrinkypants press conference:
Q You can get the Congress to protect telecom companies from lawsuits, but then there's no recourse for Americans who feel that they've been caught up in this. I know it's not intended to spy on Americans, but in the collection process, information about everybody gets swept up and then it gets sorted. So if Americans don't have any recourse, are you just telling them, when it comes to their privacy, to suck it up?
THE PRESIDENT: I wouldn't put it that way, if I were you, in public. Well, you've been long been long enough to -- anyway, yes, I -- look, there's -- people who analyze the program fully understand that America's civil liberties are well protected. There is a constant check to make sure that our civil liberties of our citizens aren't -- you know, {are} --(they added this word on the official WH transcripts, he did not when he spoke this morning – the truth comes out from his alcohol soaked brain cells) treated with respect. And that's what I want, and that's what most -- all Americans want.
too stoopid to eat a pretzel
Swashbuckler @ 33:
Remember Mike DeWine. I believe he is no longer in the Senate. Now Voinovich is next (sorry about the spelling).
The Telecom heads got Bush's stupid ass in a room and told that fucker "If we get dragged down the toilet with this shit, we'll pull you and your crew down with us. This has nothing to do protecting Americans, Bush is scared as hell.
bush needs to crawl back up the asshole from which he was birthed.
IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW !!!!
Yeah - I got nothing. 327 days.
dadams @ 76:

After the big deal he has made about this I'm guessing all the "bad guys" aren't using the phone too much these days. Maybe they are using the mail system.
Ha, the Asses of Evil are at it again. I sure hope there's someone out there to really follow through with getting these people in a court of law. Especially that ass Rove.
C&L can you do a story on the raise people on SS got and compare it to the actual inflation rate, That will tell you Washington doesn't work for the people. At any rate money taxed for SS should be either invested like treasury bonds and kept for the good of everyone. The Lying sach of shit bullshit Bush rolled out used numbers that SS fund would run out using false numbers projected into infinity when a person would die. Al Franken did an excellant jop reporting what a lyer Bush is in his book "The Truth"
Wow....just ....wow.
It is a profound and awesome coincidence that this man's presidecy coincided with the beginning of the youtube generation, forever immortalizing his brazen contempt for his constitutional obligations. Some day historians will pick through all the evidence and try to psychoanalyze this banality.
This man is getting more transparent every day. He has learned to just. Not. Care.

BINGO!

Left&Left @ 75:
Yep, partners in crime who will turn on each other the minute either of them is held accountable. Let's hope it happens -- I'm sure the telecoms have stashed some interesting communications from Bush himself in their secret vaults.
It's very simple. The King doesn't make(or follow) The Law. The King IS The Law. Next question.
Anywhere else in nature, this arrogant, little punk, would be at the bottom of the foodchain.
Amazing what money can buy you in American.
LegallyBlonde @ 84:
He sure appeared desperate this morning. Scared and desperate.
As an interesting exercise, turn the sound off whenever Bush is talking. Pay attention to the facial and body language.
He knows he's peddling a line of bullshit, he thinks it's funny, he thinks he is extremely clever - more so than anybody he is addressing. He is radiating contempt and taking almost exquisite pleasure in lying.
This is one seriously disturbed and amoral individual.
As to the "something entirely different" question, the telecom money is probably pouring into key Democratic pockets now, instead of the GOPers. When so many of the the Senate Democrats just betrayed America, betrayed the Constitution and betrayed the American People with their FISA vote, I bet many of them have just been purchased by the telecoms. And the GOPers thought that they were corporate Amerika's favorite prostitutes.....no wonder they're grousing.
pissed off patricia @ 80:
Of course they're not. And, why doesn't ANYONE ask Busholini how the f*ck they intercept AQ phone calls? They're monitoring EVERYONE.
The criminals have abducted our country.
JasonS @ 8:
jason, you are a fucking idiot just like the president.
When my Wife was discussing Guns etc. the other woman said, "oh, I come from a different place" referring to her upbringing outside of MA. When my Wife conveyed the conversation to me I could only think of one thing, "you came out of an asshole instead of a Birth Canal like the rest of us"?
This guy is a total sack of potatoes. I could speak better completely hammered.
Every time I see this dumb MF'r or hear him speak I want to puke. I can't think of any words that come even close to describing the contempt I have for him, his kool-aid drinking supporters and the dumb bastards that voted for him.
I don't think I will ever feel the same about this country, which I happen to love, until this no good, lying sack of shit is behind bars and remains there for the rest of his natural life!
Bush doesn't use the internet other than looking at a map of his home, which incidentally, you can't do because his home is block from the web. He must be looking at his other hideaway we don't know about.
Fuck you Bush. Don't tell me you're doing my will by taking my privacy. Get a warrant, asshole.
Does this man actually believe what he says or does he just has no problem lying to get what he wants?
I have been asking this question of Republicans for many years. I remember hearing a conversation that someone who had joined a Republican campaign just to see what it was like. He was talking to someone about one their main talking points and he ask if this person knew that the talking point was total BS. The Republican responded that he did indeed know that it was BS but he also knew that the Democrats were always lying about their talking points and if they were to start worrying about always telling the truth they would be put at a huge disadvantage. I took from that, Republicans feel like victims, what ever they do it doesn't matter because the end always justifies the means. If you don't lie cheat and steal elections the other side will.

When the reporter asked if the people should "just suck it up", a rational president would have been offended by the casual way the reporter referred to his attitude. Instead, bush just yucked it up and laughed.
@105
Who's y'all? I think 'we all' didn't vote for him.
Where are you from in Canada that you use y'all, anyways? Since your using it in the plural sense, it would be 'all y'all'.
Well, I'm the deciderator and I don't feel accountable for my actions to the 'merican people, so why should anyone that cooperates with me be accountable?

The solution to this problem is simple... create a communication system where the telecoms don't know what we are saying or who we are talking to. Security rests in mathematics, not trust.
Fuck George Bush.
Paul @ 14:
Yes, I caught believed to or allegedly. God, that man is so stupid - not ignorant - just plain ole stupid. On second thought I "allegedly" think he is ignorant along with stupid.
Ok here is my best attempt at a solution:
Have the telecoms turn over their lists of eavesdropped upon numbers over to the Senate Intelligence Committee who will review the lists/people eavesdropped upon in camera). If they followed what Bush claims they are doing (calls from foreign countries or "suspicious" people i.e. people on the terrorist watch list) and there are no exceptions, there is no liability.
However, if it is found that the telecoms are cooperating and this administration is listening to strictly domestic calls of folks that are NOT on any terrorist watch list, the people listened to should be notified and given the option to sue. Same process for emails.
The Republicans who I know who consistently tell me that this program is vital to our national security tell me that if I have "nothing to hide" than I have "nothing to worry about." Shouldn't the same principle apply to the government?
Here's a question for us all: Can any of us remember just one fucking thing that the SHITSTAIN IN CHEIF has ever been honest about ? Just one thing .........if any of us can remember just one thing can you please post it ............
rain @ 117:
I missed that, but the part that stuck out for me was [the telecoms] "were told it was legal".
Since when is that good enough? If they don't cooperate with Bushies it's because they know Bushies are asking them to break the law!!! like, duh! get the warrant, stupid.

Denying the telecoms immunity might lead to a decent investigation to reveal that BushCo in fact was wiretapping Americans warrant less a half a year prior to 911. Hasn't that always been the justification floated by Chimp for the wiretaps in the first place ? Very curious indeed.
rain @ 121:
the more cruel something is, the more persistently busch laughs.
stockholders are more important than our civil liberties
The pissiest part was when he said it was "unfair" to the telecoms. What wasn't fair? Taking them to task for breaking the law? The law he seems to have convinced them didn't exist? The fact that this whole thing leaked to the public after he promised them it never would?
LanceThruster @ 72:
so what the fuck happened to that "court order" that was supposed to be required?
I can't stand stupid people like Chimpy who believe their audience is dumber than they are. You'd have to ride the short bus to be below Bush in intelligence.
Look at him! He leans in and raises his voice like some drunken uncle at a barbecue! That's our preznit: What. A. Chimp.
Those that wanted someone in the white house did not want someone that used any brain cells that way he could easily be controlled. I mean it's so much easier to get someone to do something on an emotional level than if you had to do and hard looking at the facts. He really has a hard time when asked a question because he only knows what he's told.
I still think he cannot read a very heady book
btw, Georgie:

Monkeynuts is only trying to save what is left of his ass. He is, plain and simple, a psychopath. There is no cure for this mental condition.
I will support whoever promises to incarcerate the Chimp, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, and the rest of these criminals on January 20, 2009 until an investigation is complete and these criminals are brought to justice for their crimes against humanity.

President Bush: Holding telecoms accountable is “patently unfair”
Oh look he's got his serious dry drunk face on. Daddy MAD!
So would it be fair to hold him and his
co defendantsposse responsible instead? There's a sentencing deal I could get behind.Frybread: "You’d have to ride the short bus to be below Bush in intelligence." Uh no. Short bus kids have it all over Bush a lot of times. Many kids on those buses are only physically handicapped. The slow learners are smarter than Preznit Nookyouler Shit For Brains. They may be slow, but at least they LEARN.
Bush says, "you cannot expect phone companies to participate if they feel like they are going to be sued"
That is the point dumbass... we don't want them to "participate" with you and your illegal programs.
Does this man actually believe what he says or does he just has no problem lying to get what he wants?
NO and YES.
Quick answers to easy questions.
My God, Bush is an embarrassment. If what the government is doing is legal, then the telecoms don't need immunity. You don't need immunity from legal acts, only illegal ones. Is Bush really that dense or is it that he just believes the American public is really stupid??
joshdavis @ 50:
How can the telecom companies fear they are being sued if what they are doing is legal?
E in MD:
he actually think we’ll swallow his shit and smile at him.
So he thinks we're the White House press corpse?
How long did it take them to teach him the word "patently"?
Fanon @ 110:
Sorry, Fanon, my error. Had no idea there was a singular and a plural form of this phrase. You are correct in questioning its use in Canada, especially here in Montreal. Hardly ever hear it; similar, I guess, as hearing 'eh' coming from an American.
Still, didn't the majority of Americans vote for Bush twice? Perhaps, if the citizens of the U.S. had bothered to read what the rest of the world was thinking at the time, and had given a hoot, all this mess could have been avoided.
Canadian Observer @ 147:
To answer your question NO! The majority of Americans have yet to vote for Bush once.
Canadian Observer @ 147:
No, a majority of Americans did not vote for Bush the first time, since he lost the popular vote to Gore.
bush said at this fucking press meeting that
his will is the will of the people.....well, fuck you asshole.
your will is not the will of the people.....you are a facsist
imposing your criminal and illegal will on everyone.
and like a bully, if you don't get your way, YOU will have a hissy.
YOU are the Threat to America bush.......step down and move to gitmo!!!
