Famous liberal myth #104...George Bush read "My Pet Goat" while America was under attack...

[rfranklin]

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

George Bush actually read "The Pet Goat," while ignoring the attack on America. Liberals often get the title wrong.

1. He can read?

Who would have guessed. He sure as fuck can't speak coherently.

[RC]

2. Georgie said he was reading MY pet goat. We believed him.

[rucky]

3. This is a game-changer.

I'm so ashamed. i will now join the Tea Party

[damntexdem]

7. That's "My Pet Tea Party."

but this correction really got my goat.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. All the more reason to invade Iraq.

Thank you for the clarification - it makes ah HUGH!!! difference.

5. But this myth is one of the reasons Michael Moore does not hold much credibility as a documentarist.

He purposefully changed the title of the book for Fahrenheit 911 in order to make the situation sound more ridiculous. The situation was already ridiculous enough without Michael Moore's embellishments.

12. Why, that's no different to what Breitbart does

Editing a video to make it look as though an ACORN official was helping run a prostitution ring, changing a definite article into a personal pronoun, what's the difference?:sarcasm:

[unblock]

6. if memory serves, wasn't the TEACHER reading the story TO shrub?

[damntexdem]

8. Yeah, Dubya was too busy trying to figure out how to color in the book.

;-)

[caraher]

16. It was the whole class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WztB6HzXxI">The teacher was thumping her book one word at a time (I think) as they read.

[Kurmudgeon]

9. I just wish I had been there to smack him with a ball of Playdoh.

It would have been worth getting gunned down by Secret Service....almost.
I might have missed though, Dubya proved he's somewhat agile by dodging shoes pretty well.

[cosmic _mind]

10. And I have always loved that video

of him dodging the shoe. Makes me laugh every time!

[awoke_in_2003]

11. life long practice by...

dodging responsibilities.

[Fuddnik]

13. If he was in his office, he would have been playing with his poop.

[Enthusiast]

14. People often castigate Bush for

continuing to read to the children after the 9/11 attack. They should not do this. Bush had already been briefed by Dick Cheney well before the attack. When it came he already knew what to do.

[Jim Lane]

15. Wasn't he holding the book upside down?

If so, it wouldn't be correct to say that he read anything, regardless of the title.

[caraher]

17. I think someone photshopped that

[Jim Lane]

18. Oh, thanks. So myth #104A goes down in flames, too. (n/t)
