Bush Said the "P" Word

[dave502d]

Bush said, "I'm going to come out strong after my swearing in with fundamental tax reform, tort reform, privatizing of Social Security." The privatizing of Social Security? Everyone in politics knows a candidate is not supposed to say that. Bush has been trained – with a rolled-up newspaper? – to talk about Social Security "reform," not privatization. Mentioning the P-word is a major slip-up (almost as bad politically – perhaps worse – as invading another country by mistake). As soon as the newspaper hit breakfast tables cross the nation

2. heh, first time I said "knocked up" in front of mominlaw

she kinda freaked. later admitted that it was no big deal, but when she was growing up they weren't allowed to say "pregnant" -- had to refer to it as "in a family way"

[meg]

7. I asked my mom what 'knocked up' meant

After she took a deep breath, she gave me an explanation. I said, 'Mom, that can't be right.' I was reading a Sherlock Holmes book. And Sherlock said to Watson: "Sorry to knock you up so early in the morning."

True story!

3. Antisocial Insecurity is all Bush can really offer!

Even when John Kerry mis-speaks he's exactly right! Like when he called the Repigs "Crook and Liars"! Bush throws some P words around for sure!

P-Word I thought you meant this:

1988 : At the Republican National Convention in 1988, George W. Bush
was asked by a Hartford Courant reporter about what he
and his father talked about when they weren't talking
about politics.

"Pussy," Bush replied.

4. "Privatization" equals "elimination"

They're not going to be happy until the entire New Deal has been wiped clean. And then they're going after the Emancipation Proclamation, suffrage, Marbury v. Madison (giving the Supreme Court the power to declare a law unconstitutional), the entire Bill of Rights and finally the Big Kahuna -- a complete and total abolishment of the Constitution.

6. WOnder if the whores over at Pravda Broadcasting Services will redact?

Sort of replace "privatiazation" with "reform." Or maybe ignore the story.

8. Kerry needs to say the "E" word!

ENRON

"If Bush privatizes your Social Security, will he want to invest your money in companies like Enron?"
