NBC 4 L. A. just announced...Bush has an accident after State of the Union Address

[4570Rick]

It seems that after the address, Dubya turned to shake hands with Dick Cheney and knocked the VP's water glass over.

Is it just that slow a news day or is it a law that the media must show a standing POTUS in the worst light possible?

 

[cracked butt]

Its ok. It just shows that we elected a human being to office, not the robot alternative.

 

[gunsmith]

It shows his wry humor

He did it on purpose and made it look like an "accident"
The next time you see someone with a glass of water in their hands, ask them the time!
heheheh.

It was actually a conspiracy between Halliburton and the Israeli's

Ya know, I hate to think the press is any worse than it's ever been. I was a kid of 10 when Pres. Kennedy got assassinated. At that time I did not know of his extracurricular activities. I am just wondering if these yokels, um, "journalists" gave him the same treatment as Dubya? Think not, but I was really too young to catch nuances, double entendres, etc. :banghead:

. . . is it a law that the media must show a standing POTUS in the worst light . . .

Only if he's a Republican. If he's a Democrat, editorial judgement kicks in, determines it's not news, and there's no story.

 

[dischord]

It sounds more like an inane reporter trying to fill in some "color" than bad intent. Not everything the press does is part of an agenda -- a lot of it is just stupidity. Believe me: I've worked in newsrooms. (Then again, don't ever let anyone say that blatant agendas do not exist. They do. I've witnessed them first hand. I've had a liberal reporter actually say that she thought it her job (her mission) to help shape the "proper" opinions of society. I've seen a conservative reporter go out of her way to write negative news about a liberal government official.)

 

[TarpleyG]

Just like when they made a big hoopla when he choked on that pretzel. People are people and the pres is people.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Counting down to see how long before Teddy Kennedy calls for an independent investigation of the failed President wasting our natural resources and Hillary seconds his proposal.

Then 5 minutes later someone, probably James Carville, from the Clinton administration appears on TV talking about how Ken Starr can not lead this investigation into "Waterglass-gate" because he is tainted by the scandal of the impeachment.

POTUS in the worst light possible?"

I'll let you know after I've seen it in super-slo-mo a few hundred times.
