You have, unfortunately, repeated a liberal "urban myth." George Bush I was not "surprised by how an electronic checkout works." The truth of that is the checker showing it to him took a torn UPC tag and scanned it.

It still worked. THAT was what surprised Bush I; it still scanned despite being torn.

Billybob, do you have some citations for this? It has become so entrenched in political "history" that proof will be needed to convince anyone otherwise.

Thanks for straightening that out for me. That event occured before I "woke up" to media bias. I'm not surprised the event did not occur as intimated.

It just goes to show how those who pay little attention to politics can be misled so easily.

Media bias can be proved by the multitude of nonevents that have been used to tar republicans, and the monumental scandals that democrats are given a pass on. Examples:

Dan Quayle mispells a word (he didn't "potatoe" is in the dictionary and the school gave him a card with that spelling) vs. Bill Clinton violently raped a woman.

George Bush Sr. dared look at his watch during a debate vs. Bill Clinton fondled a distraught WH volunteer who's husband had committed suicide that morning.

Trent Lott never said a word in support of segregation but clumsily praised a 100 year old senator. vs. Ted Kenedy drowned a young woman in his car went home and got a good night's sleep, had breakfast with an advisor before telling anyone.

Dan Quayle danced with a woman and rented an apartment to an unmarried couple. vs. Al Sharpton incited anti-Korean racial protests that resulted in innocent people being burned to death, and supported the Tawana Brawley faked rape/abduction.

Hey, this is fun, if it weren't so damn disgusting!

Thanks for pointing that out. About Bush and the UPC scanner.
