NEWSWEEK: Bush at right-to-life rally says all human beings begin life as a feces....(not a typo)

[Faye]

NEWSWEEK reports that President Bush, appearing before a right-to-life rally in Tampa, Florida on June 17, 2004 stated: "We must always remember that all human beings begin life as a feces. A feces is a living being in the eyes of God, who has endowed that feces with all of the rights and God-given blessings of any other human being." The audience listened in disbelief as the President repeated his error at least a dozen times, before realizing that he had used the word "feces" when he meant to say "fetus."

"Whatever else you do, come November 2nd, I urge you, please, cast a vote for embryonic stem cell research."- Ron Reagan Jr.

OMG that is hilarious.

I don't care what political party you are, if you think that isn't funny you have no sense of humor.

Bush didn't say it...but then again..
In the spirit of today's convention sessions, the following post is:
A. Timely.... as Ron Reagan gets ready to appeal to the nation tonight to lift the Bush ban on stem cell research.

B. Fair-minded... showing that Dems need not be strident nor inaccurate about Bush-bashing.

C. Remiscent ...of Bill Clinton's line last night: "Strength and Wisdom are NOT opposing values.

George Bush did NOT use the term "feces" for "fetus" in a speech in Tampa June 17 as supposedly reported by Newsweek. Dems all over Boston and the nation are getting this email:

NEWSWEEK reports that President Bush, appearing before a right-to-life rally in Tampa, Florida on June 17, stated: "We must always remember that all human beings begin life as a feces. A Feces is a living being in the eyes of God, who has endowed that feces with all of the rights and God-given blessings of any other human being." The audience listened in disbelief as the President repeated his error at least a dozen times, before realizing that he had used the word 'feces" when he meant to say "fetus."

This is an urban legend, debunked at:

http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...ces_speech.htm

Newsweek never printed this story and Bush was not in Tampa on June 17. He was on June 16, according to the White House sked, but said nothing of the kind.

Keep this in mind while Ron Reagan speaks tonight. Bush does know the difference between the two words and may actually be capable of changing his mind on stem cell research.

Then again...

These "Bushisms" are not urban legends:

"I'm the master of low expectations."- President Bush aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things." - President Bush aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003.

Bill Clinton may have been wrong last night. With Dubya, "strength and wisdom" just might be opposing values.

-peace

Hooked

To Faye and others who were hooked by the bald faced lie that Pres. Bush said "feces" for "fetus," just shows you that P.T. Barnum was correct. There's one born every minute. Sorry thing is, some of these folks have just enough brain power to make it to the polls or get absentee ballots. Now let me tell you about the prosthesis hook I discovered on my door handle the morning after a tryst in lover's lane.

seems this alleged quote may be untrue

I've always spelt the word faeces not that I have cause to use it that often
