1. I believe it was from the Correspondence Dinner
I think or maybe that was the one wear he made fun of not finding WMD in iraq.

3. I don't know, but it would make an awesome
commercial....

They could show that clip and then say something like "Yes, President Bush does say what he means..sometimes."

5. It was at the 2000 Al Smith dinner in NYC. Gore also appeared.
He was a lot funnier than bush, but the audience was so obviously pro-bush that it was painful to watch.

6. I wish my husband were here......
He is out seeing F 9/11 and I know he would know. We were talking about it earlier tonight. We were saying how the Bu$h camp is up in arms over Whoppi's remarks and how they are dragging her through the dirt about what she had said only about Bu$h.

I said that perhaps Kerry should find the statement you are talking about. It was some sort of fundraiser with all of his rich quid pro quo friends. I mean, these were the richest of the rich pubes. And he basically thumbed his nose at the rest of the US by saying something to the effect that they call you rich/elite (that type of thing) but he calls them his base. I just thought was so offensive to the American people. I have seen this clip but I will be darned if I know where.

If no one else has located it by the time hubby gets home, I am sure he can locate it.

We could loop that and the one where he makes fun of not finding WMDs over and over again - if the Dems had any guts that is...
