Where and when did GWB ever claim that? Mr. Strawman, meet Mr. Sheen.
Must have been after the witch spelled, "Give up Dorothy" over Oz.
Oh wait, that was fiction.
Wait, I thought the Michael Moore Crowd was incensed because Bush was reading the goat book and kept reading for SEVEN MORE MINUTES. (emphasis because that is just how they say it. Like it is the most important fact of 9-11)
How did he see the first plane at all? Telepathically? Yep, Charlie Sheen is insane.
Yes, the media was all over Bush for not acting or reacting when they came into the class room and informed him of the news of the plane going into the towers.
How could you possibly announce you saw something when you were not able to get near a microphone. What a dummy!
"I guess one of the perks of being president is that you get access to TV channels that don't exist in the known universe,"
Actually, you do... JWICS! Not saying that was used here, but seriously...
I believe it's a reference to two occasions. First, December 4, 2001, when President Bush's account does seem to indicate that he saw the first plane--and it contradicts the earlier story that he'd heard about it from Secretary Rice. From White House transcript:
Q One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country. And another thing is that, how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack? (Applause.)Secondly, on January 5, 2002, President Bush very explicitly said that he saw the first plane hit:
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Jordan. Well, Jordan, you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my Chief of Staff, Andy Card -- actually, I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. [Note: Principal of school says there was no TV there.] And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident.
But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it. And I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my Chief of Staff, who is sitting over here, walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower, America is under attack."
...]Anyway, I was in the midst of learning about a reading program that works. . . . I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff - well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on.[...]Looks like President Bush made an error of recollection, but if you'd like to read more of the conspiracy theories about it, with links to video, etc., check out:
