Note to lurking freepers: When Bush said "Want some wood?"...
the audience was laughing at him, not with him.

1. I actually thought that line was funny
And it would have been a devastating use of humor against Kerry unless the President actually DID own 84 dollars worth of a timber company. Then he'd just look ridiculous.

4. It was a funny line
too bad (for him) he made an ass out of himself by not knowing that he really DOES own a lumber company ... now that is funny, hahaha.

5. He actually does...
from www.factcheck.org


"Bush got a laugh when he scoffed at Kerry's contention that he had received $84 from "a timber company." Said Bush, 'I own a timber company? That's news to me.'"

"In fact, according to his 2003 financial disclosure form, Bush does own part interest in "LSTF, LLC", a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales." (See "supporting documents" at right.)"

"So Bush was wrong to suggest that he doesn't have ownership of a timber company. And Kerry was correct in saying that Bush's definition of "small business" is so broad that Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business" in 2001 by virtue of the $84 in business income."

8. See? Bush obviously has too much money
He can't even keep track of all the things he owns. The very definition of overrich.

7. It was a penis joke. It's disrepectful and unbecoming.
A penis joke told by the supposed president on stage at the presidential debate. Sick.
