[lbo-talk] How about this one?

[Ylle]

NEWSWEEK reports that President Bush, appearing before a right-to-life rally
in Tampa, Florida on June 17, stated: "We must always remember that all
beings begin life as a feces. "A feces is a living being in the eyes of God,
who has endowed that feces with all of the rights and God-given blessings of
any other human being."   The audience listened in disbelief as the
President repeated his error at least a dozen times, before realizing that
he had used the word 'feces" when he meant to say "fetus."
