Bush is so full of it, it's coming out his mouth!
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."

What do you want from a guy with a 91 IQ? :shrug:
Sorry no link, but I'd like to see the article.

2. Funny, but apparently untrue
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_bush_feces_speech.htm

Comments: False. President Bush has been known to commit verbal gaffes on occasion, but nothing on the order of mistaking the word "feces" for "fetus" a dozen times in a row in a single speech. I'm not sure it's even humanly possible.

As it happens, Bush was in Tampa, Florida on June 16, 2004, the day before this event supposedly took place, but according to the White House press log he gave no speeches in Tampa on June 17.

No such news item appeared in Newsweek, nor any other venue, for that matter.

It is clearly a joke.
