POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., Sept 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush offered an unexpected reason on Monday for cracking down on frivolous medical lawsuits: "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

Now that is something I can get behind! Here is a new slogan:

"OB-GYN's that practice their love with women, love Bush!"

That's not as good as what I thought he said when I first heard the soundbyte:

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their LOG with women all across this country"

BTW...did anybody hear the totally false story reported by the AP that we booed when the President wished Bill Clinton a speedy recovery? I was at the rally, and it is TOTALLY false. In fact, people were stunned when he announced the hospitalization, and applauded enthusiastically when he sent best wishes and prayers. The AP retracted the story...but not before it was printed on sites and blogs all over the world. Experiencing this first-hand has brought my perception of media-bias to a whole new level. The reporter just plain made it up...and the damage is permanent.

No, I didn't hear that story. Why did you boo Dude? That is just harsh. ; )

I wanted to prove the the Republican party is the party of hate and intolerance, of course.

I wasn't there but in here is a link to audio of that... is this really a case of a radical leftwing reporter trying to skew the news or is it something more innocent?

I'd really like to believe it was innocent, but the wording of the story was, "the crowd of thousands booed, and President Bush did nothing to stop them."

You heard the audio. A couple boos in one corner of a crowd of 15,000 would not be enough to explain his assertion that "the crowd of thousands booed." Then to take it a step further and say "President Bush did nothing to stop them"... you just can't explain that.

I don't think it was intentional...but I think it was a case of mindset. The guy is so convinced that he was amidst a bunch of hateful monsters, that he was looking for any indication possible to exploit that notion in a story.

A man called in to Milwuakee radio late last week and said he actually got through to the national AP office. When he asked them to retract the story they said "come on, haven't you heard Republicans boo OTHER times the President mentions Democrats??" That was actually their logic...that if people boo when Kerry's policy that they don't like is mentioned, then it's ok for them to falsely report that they booed a man who is laying on the hospital chopping block. That comment from the AP office is a perfect window into the mind of that AP reporter. They both live in liberal la la land.
