I don't know how, but if you missed the story of President Bush being asked about seeing Brokeback Mountain after a speech at KSU today, catch up here.

Now that you're up to speed, I've created this photoshop to goof on the whole thing. Of course I like Dubya, and this probably belongs on some unhinged lefty site, but I couldn't help creating it after today's events. Sorry fellas.

Again, sorry Dubya and Cheney, but I just couldn't resist...

As I mentioned earlier, I got to catch most of the President's Q&A after his speech at Kansas State University today. The whole thing was pretty funny and laid back, but this moment in particular was hilarious... and quite unexpected.

An audience member asked the President as a rancher if he'd seen, the gay cowboy movie, Brokeback Mountain. The President had not, and it was a pretty funny little exchange.

BUSH: NO 'BROKEBACK' Mon Jan 23 2006 17:09:44 ET

President Bush has so far skipped BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN -- the Hollywood hit about two homosexual cowboys.

During a Q&A session at Kansas State University today, a student asked Bush: "I was just wanting to get your opinion on BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN if you'd seen it yet."

The crowd laughed softly before the student said loudly: "You would love it! You should check it out."

"I haven't seen it," Bush said flatly. "I'd be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie," he said to laughter. "I've heard about it."

The president waited a second or two, then said, according to a transcript: "I hope you go -- (laughter) -- you know -- (laughter) -- I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm, is what I was about to say. I haven't seen it. (Laughter, applause.)"

The Political Teen has video of the exchange I mentioned in an earlier post, of an Iraqi woman and the President. It's a must watch. She goes on to thank the President and praise his policies for freeing 27 million people, and talk about how two female members of her family are now part of the government in Iraq.

UPDATE: The Political Teen has this "Brokeback" clip now too... only in much better quality than I get from this cheapo capture box I have.

I didn't get to catch all of the speech, but I have listened to most of the Q&A portion (still going). Some great questions and great answers, but what stood out was the extremely loud Iraqi woman who didn't want to stop shouting praises for the President and his policies, and for freeing 27 million people... he eventually had to cut her off, but it was one of those moments where you can just see Ted Kennedy's face getting redder by the second wanting to put his foot through the TV.

Anyway, if you were watching, it was one of those laid back Dubya speeches/Q&As. He was relaxed and funny... Probably one of the most laid back I've ever seen him really.

But before I blog about this later (hopefully, if my video capture thing works, I'll have some video highlights), I was looking for some predictions for "controversy" that will be created about this? I suspect at least one accusation of planted questions (that Iraqi woman), but I don't think the attacks will end there.

Please leave your predictions in the comments section of this post...

Thanks Drudge for linking me to these stories

But this won't stop libs from screaming that Bush is spying on them while they call their parents (presumably for more money to buy weed... uh... school books, man)

UPDATE: 1:17pm CT - The Political Teen managed to get the terrifying video. (Don't watch this for a half hour after eatting.)

If you didn't already know about British Politican George Galloway's "cat" incident, read up here. Follow that link to see the video, and learn about who this guy is if you don't know already. That story was out barely a week, and now he's once again brought shame to his constituents.

This week MP Galloway apparently didn't think pretending to be a cat and drinking milk from an old acresses hands would do the trick.. so he dressed up in a tight red leotard and danced with a transvestite.

excerpt from This is London

The pair were amusingly instructed to express 'the emotions of bewilderment when a small puppy won't come to you' through the medium of robotic dance. This was part of a task set for housemates to illustrate emotions through dance.

Galloway was criticised by Labour opponents and commentators last week after pretending to be a cat in a task to get food for housemates. Labour Chief Whip Hilary Armstrong launched a petition calling on Galloway to represent his constituents, while another MP described him as 'a laughing stock'. There is also a website tracking how much his absence has cost his East London constituency.

Well, this buddy of Saddam Hussein is really a piece of work. The more I see of this guy, the less I think anyone should even respond to his attacks on President Bush and America.

If you don't think you can handle seeing Galloway in tights... I suggest you don't look below this text. And by the way, this is real, not a photoshop.

I don't think I really need to add much to this. Just check out this post and video from Michelle Malkin. Here's the transcript if you need some incentive to click over there:

Yes, we have not been attacked here. Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven't been attacked here is because they are being so successful at doing what they need to do to attack us in Iraq and elsewhere.

Wow John, why don't you just call U.S. soldiers the terrorists next time... Oh, you already did? Well, try your hardest to come up with something outrageous to say, but be sure to compare it with these lists to make sure it will stand out from the rest... Try to steer clear of comparing U.S. soldiers to Nazis and Republicans to slave owners, it's been done to death.

Video can also be found at The Political Teen.

Again not much more I can add to this... He's ridiculous, it's as simple as that. I can't wait to see him and Hillary battle for the nomination. Perhaps one will eventually be the other's running mate, creating a super duo known as The Flip Flop Plantation.

hat tip Drudge Report
In the next few weeks, South Dakota lawmakers will vote on a bill intended to make abortion illegal. I don't know anything about the state of politics in South Dakota so this may be just to cause a stir or get attention, but it looks like we'll know in just a matter of weeks.

In the next six weeks, South Dakota lawmakers will decide whether to make abortion a crime.

A bill that would ban abortion in the state will be introduced within the next two days.

The bill will be called the Woman's Health and Life Protection Act. It will ban abortion, but won't prosecute a doctor who performs one to save a woman's life.

Also, the writer uses the term "anti-abortion advocates", instead of "pro-life". Nothing new it happens all the time, but incase you didn't know the media always seem to manage to use "pro-choice" when talking about the other side, and virtually never "pro-abortion". I guess that term is less cuddly huh?

Sure you may find quotes of pro-lifers in articles where they say "pro-abortion" or a christian news publication using the phrase, but it's almost a guarantee that a mainstream publication will use "anti-abortion" any day of the week, but almost never use "pro-abortion". Likewise they'll almost never use "pro-life", but are all too happy to use "pro-choice" for the other side.

Quick Bias Study

Yahoo! News Search: "anti-abortion" 872 articles

Yahoo! News Search: "pro-abortion" 86 articles

Google News Search: "anti-abortion" 1720 articles

Google News Search: "pro-abortion" 438 articles
(Note: Just glancing at the first few pages of the Google/"pro-abortion" search, you'll see that these are mainly conservative groups, and dozens specifically to LifeNews.com. Many others are editorials and blogs and such. So don't be mislead by the Google number (still only about a quarter of the "anti-abortion" article number) which is substantially higher than Yahoo!, because Google's news search just operates differently.

So there are the numbers folks. I'm sure the libs will argue "well, that's not fair.. it's just what the stories are about..." But they know, and you know that's bologna. You can run this study every day if you'd like and reach the same conclusion. I'm sure people with more resources can do much more scientific search, but you're going to find the same thing no matter how you do it.

This is all as things are heating up over the likely confirmation of Judge Alito as the next Supreme Court Justice, and demonstrations from both sides of the aisle yesterday, marking the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Keep your eye peeled for the clever terminology used when referring to different sides of the abortion issue.

Also, Michelle Malkin has the President's proclamation made yesterday, declaring January 22 as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Read it now if you haven't done so already. It's the Dubya we elected, and I can only imagine the libs heads spinning like tops while they read it.

Stop The ACLU has a good wrap up on this and other abortion related news.

UPDATE: 2/24/06 Michelle Malkin links us to this photo essay from Zombie, of a Walk for Life march and counter-demonstration (Walk for Death?). Obviously these people aren't the media (the topic of this post), but it's an interesting look at the pro-abortion crazies in action.

Reverse Vampyr is commenting on this too.
