This isn't the first time Bush used "internets" in a St. Louis debate...
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 02:23 AM by messiertom
Check out this quote from * from himself from the Oct. 17, 2000 debate in St. Louis:

*: You bet there's things the government can do. We can work with the entertainment industry. We can have filters on Internets where public money is spent. There ought to be filters in public libraries, and filters in public schools, so that if kids get on the Internet, there's not going to be pornography or violence coming in. I think we ought to have character education in our schools.

:wtf:

3. yeah, But how "Unsophisticated" does one have to be
before they sound like they have an IQ Equal to a Houseplant? (Wait, I have insulted Houseplants...)If I think of it that way, I find it even more offensive because he is Deliberately talking down to the public thinking we aren't smart enough to catch on to things. I personally don't think he is smart enough to pull that off. His Father seemed to be kind of intelligent (Yeah, I know I may be giving him some credit here), and certainly Babs, In her 1500+ years alive has learned a thing or two...Then we have Dumbya... Faster than a Speeding Snail, More powerful than an Ivory Coke spoon, Able to leap on Unca Dick's Lap in a beat of a Heart, Look up at Capitol hill, It's an Armadillo, it's trailer Trash, It's 43!!!!!!!

2. Wow. Great catch, messiertom!
So it's more than a one-time slip -- it's a regular thing with *.

Too much! :toast:
