Why let a "god damn piece of paper" like the U.S. Constitution...

Was this actually said by Bush? Direct quote? If so, references please.

The reason I ask is, if true, it seems an astoundingly impolitic
statement to be made by a sitting president.

This has been debunked.

No more so than the taking of the Lord's name in vain by a devout
Christian.

It has not been debunked. It comes from a credible reporter with solid
inside connections. He works at a reputable organization who would
withdraw it if it had been "debunked".

inside connections. He works at a reputable organization who would
withdraw it if it had been "debunked".

Then where is the specific reference? There is none.

Name the reporter. Name the organization. I've been hearing this
statement for a number of years, now, but never where it actually came
from. I've not found any specific cite, reference, attribution, or even
quotation.

The only thing I've found is an article by Doug Thompson, in which he
claims that he's spoken with people who were in the room when this was
supposed to have been said.

Trouble is, that the number of persons he spoke to that day has
become variable: Two, then three, then two, then possibly four....

But no one else has reported it, except a few articles referring to
Thompson. And there are no direct attributions. What he's not done is
quoted anyone. This becomes, then, hearsay. And by its own content,
questionable.

Snopes.com had debunked this, and had an article posted on the site I
remember reading as late as two months ago. Looking for it this
morning, I found no reference to it at all. No surprise there.
Politically speaking, Snopes has been inconsistent in its objectivity at
best.

As it stands, it's a gratuitous assertion. A gratuitous assertion
that's been debunked. Also by those with solid inside connections.

As for retractions....well, I'll counter that with the name of Dan
Rather, who, when faced with hard evidence that his anti-Bush documents
were fakes, apologized, but insisted that the content of the faked
documents was true.

Capitol Hill Blue is the website for which Doug Thompson writes. A
reasonably credible news site at one time, until the owner of the site
admitted that his most used and most credible source Terrence J.
Wilkinson was a fake.

Google CapitolHillBlue+ Terrence J. Wilkinson to see for yourself.


The story has been debunked.

Neither bunked nor debunked. Why no official denial?

Well, regardless of what Cheny said or did not say, the Bush
administration's actions are often at odds with the U.S. constitution,
the Geneva agreements against torture, and international law in
general.

Seven months and counting...

First, over the last 7 1/2 years of his administration, numerous news

Finally, it's interesting that you think a "devout Christian" would not

this "devout Christian" lied us into a bogus war* that has taken

SNIP

Where do you get this stuff? In the tabloids?

I have never heard of this on domestic radio, SW, or numerous news
sources on the Internet.
