Last December 9, Capitol Hill Blue published a story in which Bush -- in the Oval Office, in front of Republican congressional leaers -- proclaimed the instantly-famous line: "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
I happen to know that an upcoming movie will present this quote as genuine. But is it? When asked to reconsider this decision, the film-maker stood by his belief in the story, because it supposedly has three sources.
But all three sources (supposedly) spoke to only one man: Doug Thompson, the fellow who runs Capitol Hill Blue, which some people denounce as a gossip sheet. Thompson has defended his reporting, but he will not name any one of the three, and no-one who was actually in that room that day has stepped forward.
It seems unlikely that Congressional leaders would confide such damning words to the editor of a not-very-highly-regarded periodical which has published articles calling Bush's mental health into question.
Does anyone know of any further evidence, some piece of verification? I'm not looking for arguments along the lines of "Well, it sounds like something Bush would say." We need another source.

For GWB, the Constitution *is* just a piece of paper. This man can't even read a rehearsed speech with intonations and pauses which indicate he understands what he's saying.
Even without its semi-archaic language, the document would overwhelm that ten minute attention span of his (10 minutes according to his former Chief of Staff, in Texas). Small wonder he has contempt for the law.
In my mind, there's a better chance that the Bush quote is true than the chance that the 9/11 "hijacker" dialog is true. I believe the evidence calls into question almost every aspect of the 9/11 official story.
We live in a hall of mirrors, and you, Mr. Cannon, seem to be as duped about 9/11 as most of the ignorant Joes.
Reader BG used this occasion to promote the bombs-in-the-building theory, even though that theory has nothing to do with the matter discussed in my post.
"Controlled demolition" is a new religion. You are free to practice that religion as you wish, of course. But this is not one of your houses of worship, and you are just doing damage to your own POV if you act fanatically.
I've explained the rule before: You may discuss the tenets of your faith freely if the body of the post addresses that faith. Otherwise, I will hit the delete button.
Final warning.
"by their fruits ye shall know them",,says Holy writ and the fellows ensconced in the house of white of late, have very bitter fruits indeed. Whether the Bush said such and such or such or such is irrelevant. He sleeps with a shredder as do the rest of his demons in his company..and they play shred the paper..shred the paper (constitution) every nacht before they throw darts at it for practice.
Incidentally they are strictly focussed on the absolute destruction of America in case you have not noticed.

I don't see anything in BG's post which refers to CD or even buildings! Methinks you dost protest too much, Joseph.
