This came to me by way of an email from a friend and unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to confirm its veracity (though I myself have little trouble believing it). If you have time to investigate, please do let me know whether or not such incredible ignoramity actually occured.
"Newsweek reports that George W. Bush, appearing before a right- to-life rally in Tampa, Florida, on June 17, stated:
'We must always remember that all human beings begin life as a feces. A feces is a living being in the eyes of God, who has endowed that feces with all the rights and God-given blessings of any other human being.'
Bush repeated his error at least a dozen times before realizing he'd used the word 'feces' when he meant to say 'fetus.'"
Concerning Bush's alleged "feces" confusion, take a look at this:
