I saw this on the "Jimmy Kimmel" late night TV show last night. They played a clip of Bush in a TV interview with O'Reilly.
He asked Bush about the flood of illegal Mexicans and Bush said "When I was Governor of....uh." "When I was Governor of uhhhh...ummmm..uh" "When I was Governor of ummmmm....uhhhh....uhhhh."
O'Reilly said; "Mr. Bush, they're not going to like that answer." He had the most disgusted look I've ever seen on a TV interviewer.

Please tell me that someone corrected that boob.
Brit Hume played this Kimmel thing at the end of his show today. It was obvious it was doctored. There was no effort to hide this. Are these people really that dumb?
Yes, the place is infested with liberals.
It was a joke...., they spliced the interview to make it look like he didn't answer.
Of course that's not how it went. There is a transcript to prove it.
Since the President hit a homerun in this interview, all they were left with was the ability to manipulate footage for a few cheap laughs.
It's a compliment to the president this is the best they could do.
This type of attack should be encouraged. The left helps Bush every time they call him an idiot.
Northcarolinianforbush set him straight (it was a threadstoper)
Yes, they are that dumb
what about the flood of illegal Mexicans ?
I am deeply saddened by this. </Daschle> ;-)
"What do you suggest?"
A strong president should take a stand against business operations who use an illegal immigrant work force. If these businesses cannot make a profit without being subsidized by tax payers social programs, such as energy health education roads and water projects needed to support the massive population growth, then they should cease to exist. This is a capitalist country that is the way it works, if businesses cannot pay their own bills they need to close, we are not supposed to be funding socialist work projects with tax payer funds to make up the difference.
The modern the day plantation owners do not have the moral clarity to understand, nor will they change their ways unless threatened by the government in the same manner as was done before the civil war to the slave owners. Yet today we wont see this from this republican party whose only goal is to report financial growth so they look better on paper than the other party.
The republican party of today should start acting like the republican party of old formed during the conflict of slavery.
As a reminder; before the civil war wealthy business owners tried to push slavery on the country which promted Radical republicans to favor immediate eradication of an institution they viewed as iniquitous. President Bushe's plan for amnesty and continuation of the present situation of a low paid slave workforce is in complete opposition to those Radical members of the first republican party, whom in the end were proven right.

The Republican party in 1861 was a coalition of disparate elements. Formed only 7 years earlier, it contained men who had been Whigs, Anti-Slavery Democrats, Free-Soilers, Know-Nothings, and Abolitionists. By the outbreak of the war, these fragments had coalesced into 3 basic factions: conservatives, moderates, and radicals. President Abraham Lincoln's task was to mold these factions into a government that could win the war without destroying the South politically and economically.
The most aggressive and, eventually, most influential of the three was the Radical Republican faction. All Republicans were against slavery, but this group was the most "radical", in its opposition to the "peculiar institution." While conservatives favored gradual emancipation combined with colonization of Freedmen, and while moderates favored emancipation but with reservations, Radicals favored immediate eradication of an institution they viewed as iniquitous, and saw the war as a crusade for "Abolition."
No Disagreements.
