From a Bush speech in Charlotte on 9/17:

"One of the interesting things about a changing economy is that our workers are more productive than ever before. That means instead of using a hoe, you use a backhoe. Or instead of using, you know, a regular old standard typewriter, you use a computer. In other words, that's an example of becoming more productive."

Full Speech-- http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040917-11.htm

Everyone gets the sly reference to Rathergate with the typewriter remark. But did the President give a nod to FR with this part?--

"That means instead of using a hoe (CBS) you use a backhoe (Free Republic)."
