It must be true, John Kerry said so.

What was Kerry talking about anyway? That couldn't be a complete fabrication, was it?

And it only took 10 seconds of dead air to come up with that line. What a comedic genious!

Maybe Bush was in shock... I know I was.
Besides, it made me chuckle. I didn't laugh, but I chuckled. |

Kerry startled Bush by saying that the president is counted as a small business for tax purposes because he once earned $84 from a timber company he owns.
"I own a timber company?" Bush asked. "That's news to me." Then he paused and added, "Need some wood?" That baffling exchange arises from an analysis by the Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org debunking Bush's claims that Kerry's plans to raise taxes on the richest Americans would increase the tax burden on 900,000 small businesses. The analysis found that the Bush campaign is counting every rich person who has even $1 of outside business income as a small business owner, even if they have no employees. The analysis said even Bush qualifies under that definition because he reported $84 in income from his part-ownership of a timber enterprise on his 2001 federal tax return. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ate_fact_check |

They said on NBC that Kerry was referring to Bush claiming $84 as income from owning a small share of a timber company. As such in 2001 he would be considered a small business owner according to his way of thinking about business owners. That is why the 900,000 figure is too high. For more see the discussion between Edwards and Cheney on factcheck.org.

Bush is obviously a skilled politician. The last President couldn't get away with that response.

Does anyone seriously think that Kerry, Gibson, and I were the only people in that room that earn at least $200,000? With all the liberal activists who slipped in pretending to be "undecided" voters, I am sure that is not true.

So Bush doesn't even know what is on his own tax returns?
