Where did Ivins get this quote?
Molly Ivins wrote yesterday that, "President Bush's slightly alarming claim to the Amish on July 9 that God speaks through him -- that's what he said -- raises some troubling prospects."

I want to know where she got that and what is the exact quote. Can anybody help me find a link?

1. Here:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6513.htm

“One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie,’’ Stoltzfus says. “Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren’t supposed to eat untested food.’’

At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’

As the president left the room, one Amish man wished him good luck in November.

“The Amish group headed back to their farms and shops,’’ reports Stoltzfus. “Mothers took their children home for a nap and went back to their sewing and gardens.’’

Bush moved along to an appearance in York County, leaving behind a group of Old Order admirers who have tales to tell for the rest of their lives.

4. An Amish Whoopie pie is made of two soft chocolate cookies with a cream
frosting filling. It is perfectly safe for Bush to eat though it would probably kill Dick "go eff yourself" Cheney.

6. The WH denied it
Milbank tagged the quote onto the end of an article in the WP. He'd asked the WH and they said it didn't happen.

Who to believe?...bushies or the Amish...bushies or the Amish :think:
