[Ol' Dan Tucker]

While campaigning for the office of President in 1999, George W. Bush also tried to use the power of the federal government to shut down web sites that he didn't like. He claimed they were spreading falsehoods about his past. The proper (read: conservative) course of action would be to sue them in civil court for libel. Somehow Bush and his advisors thought it would be better to twist and misuse the power of the federal government to shut down web sites he found distasteful.

He tried to get the FEC to classify a parody web site as a PAC. When the FEC told Bush to go pound sand, Bush called a press conference.

At the press conference, he uttered, "There ought to be limits to freedom." What he meant, of course, is that he thought that there ought to be a way to control the freedom of speech.

It looks like Oh,Brother! is simply picking up where Duh!-bya left off.

I would have to see a link for that one. I dont remember Bush saying that.
Liberals have a different playbook and it may well have been a PAC that bent the rules.
