Maybe Bush Really IS An Idiot

J.J. Jackson* | June 27, 2007

Which of course doesn’t say much about the Liberals whose asses he keeps kicking.

But anyway, President Bush made a gaffe when talking about the immigration bill:

“You know, I’ve heard all the rhetoric—you’ve heard it, too—about how this is amnesty,” Bush told advocates of his immigration overhaul. “Amnesty means that you’ve got to pay a price for having been here illegally, and this bill does that.”

The article continues that that is not what he meant

When word started to get out about the gaffe in media reports, the White House scrambled to fix it.White House press secretary Tony Snow issued an unusual statement to, in essence, correct his boss.

“Earlier today, in speaking about comprehensive immigration reform, President Bush misspoke,” Snow said.

“This has been construed as an assertion that the comprehensive immigration reform legislation before the Senate offers amnesty to immigrants who came here illegally,” he said. “That is the exact opposite of the president’s long-held and often-stated position.”

I went through this a couple weeks ago in my article “Is It Amnesty? You Bet Your Sweet Bippy!”

The FACT is that amnesty is not a situation where one does not pay a price (which is what President Bush meant). The FACT is that amnesty is a situation where all or part of the existing punishments for a crime are not required to be meted out as punishment.

Someone get President Bush a dictionary please! Because he’s starting to sound like a moonbat and there is no excuse for it!
