Did this really happen??
NEWSWEEK reports that President Bush, appearing before a
right-to-life rally in Tampa, Florida on June 17, stated: "We must always
remember that all human beings begin life as a feces. A feces is a living being
in the eyes of God, who has endowed that feces with all of the rights and
God-given blessings of any other human being."

The audience listened in disbelief as the President repeated
his error at least a dozen times, before realizing that he had used the
word 'feces" when he meant to say "fetus."

I don't have a link, I received this in an email.

Has anyone heard anything about this? If true, I think this could possibly be the biggest gaffe Bush has ever made.

2. No
Here's a snopes link:

With all the comedy GOLD Bush provides us, I don't know why people bother to make things up. It causes people to doubt the REAL stuff.

4. Its as true as the email about
"Teresa Heinz Kerry making managerial decisions for Heinz ketchup...therefore one should boycott the product"

In other words, they are both false.

Snopes.com debunks both urban legends.
