The Bush scanner story is an urban legend. He was examining a new type of scanner at a convention that had not been released yet. It could scan around corners, and Bush remarked he'd never seen that. Which was logical, since that was a prototype.

Second, if you took everyone's money and possessions away, eventually, most of the people that made it on their own would wind up back at the top.

Very close, but not a 'urban legend'.

Try a blatent political lie. Carville/Begalla took the clip and edited out the part where the sales weanie explained how it could read damaged or torn bar codes and then shopped what was left to their friends at CBS, etc.

I recall hearing Carville brag on their work one time in a candid moment.

The whole point of course was to show how 'out of touch' Bush Sr. was.

Of course when Hillary is befuddled at a supermarket, it is so cute to our national media and shows how she is trying to relate to commoners.
