Bush on bin Laden tape: ‘It sounded like he was plagiarizing Michael Moore’ By Alex Pappas--The Daily Caller 12:02 PM 11/09/2010 ADVERTISEMENT
Former President George W. Bush in his new book compares the words of terrorist Osama bin Laden to those of liberal activist and filmmaker Michael Moore.
Bush reflects in “Decision Points” that the October surprise of his 2004 presidential campaign against Sen. John Kerry was an Oct. 29 Osama bin Laden tape “mocking my response to 9/11 in the Florida classroom” — something Moore did in one film — as well as warning Americans of another terrorist attack.
“It sounded like he was plagiarizing Michael Moore,” Bush wrote of bin Laden.
The Daily Caller reviewed Bush’s 481-page memoir, which was released Tuesday. Here are 10 other passages we found interesting:
1. Bush thought about replacing Cheney in 2004 with Sen. Bill Frist.
When Vice President Dick Cheney suggested Bush should think about running with someone else in 2004, Bush considered replacing him with Frist, the Republican leader in the Senate from Tennessee.
Bush spoke with advisers, but decided against it. In his book, he writes about Cheney: “While Dick helped with important parts of our base, he had become a lightning rod for criticism from the media and the left. He was seen as dark and heartless — the Darth Vader of the administration.”
Bush also recalls his conversation with Cheney in 2000 about joining the ticket. When Cheney disclosed that his daughter was gay, Bush responded: “I could not care less about Mary’s orientation.”

Couldn't of said it better myself. Bin Laden probably was plagiarizing Moore.
“It sounded like he was plagiarizing Michael Moore,” Bush wrote of bin Laden.

Great swipe at both scumbags.
that’s really good ;-)
We would have been better off if it was Cheney/Bush. Dick would have gotten Obama Ben Hidin. DEAD OR ALIVE!
Very , very funny. Made my morning.
That statement's not going to get a lot of press. Remember, Bush hates homosexuals.
“When CIA chief George Tenet asked Bush whether waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation techniques could be used on terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Bush said he simply responded: “Damn right.” “
There’s a reason why the Jihadists were careful about screwing around with Bush (and why they really don’t give a rip about what Obama says).
“That statement’s not going to get a lot of press. Remember, Bush hates homosexuals.”
Wait, I thought he hated black people.
No, he didn’t care about black people. Not the same thing.:)
“No, he didn’t care about black people. Not the same thing.:)”
Ahh, I get it now. He hates homosexuals and just doesn’t care about black people. Leftists are so hard to understand Thanks for clearing that one up.
God I love this man!!!!
Matt Lauer tried to suggest that Cheney was not “testing” Bush but was instead “testing” the Republican Party. As you can see by Cheney’s popularity inside the GOP, his daughter’s sexual preference was a really big deal. /sarcasm
so do i!
Make that three of us (at least).
now that you mention it, I’ve never, ever seen Bin Laden and Michael Moore in the same buffet line...
Michael Moore engaged in naked treason, the same sort of propaganda that Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw and Jane Fonda had engaged in.
Have you ever noticed you never see anyone behind Michael Moore in a buffet line? ;-P
