This was widely reported on, and GHWB had ample opportunity to deny he made the remarks. He didn't. Why wouldn't he just deny making the remark if he didn't say them?

If you read back, you'll see I never claimed it didn't happen. What I am claiming is that I haven't seen a credible source proving it DID happen. GHWB not denying it proves nothing either. With that logic, do you think the contents of Dan Rather's memos are true just because W didn't deny them? It's possible the remark wasn't denied for the same reason, because it was fabricated or somehow massaged or distorted, and he didn't want to swim in that can of worms. The bottom line is that the onus is on the person making the assertion to prove the assertion.

I believe it was reported by one of the major news sources. And we all saw what happened when Rather tried to pull that crap - W didn't have to deny anything because Rather got called on it. You don't think that would have happened to Bush Sr either?
