I stay informed. I think. I give a rat's ass and that's why I do this.

Look at this weird statement by Bush: (This could be an indication of just how strange 4 more years might be.)


In an apparent misstatement while speaking of medical liability for OB-GYN doctors, the president said: "We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."


If anyone has any idea what the hell this means, I'd like to hear it.

And that's his argument for tort reform. I like the original, as quoted message, but trying to feign ignorance about what he's trying to say is too easy.

You just have to chalk it up to another of Bush's freudian slips. He does not like it when we psychoanalyze him, and he has a point: only he knows what truly happens inside his head. But, on the other hand, he has a track record of telling us truths in these types of statements. I think misstatement is an inaccurate portrayal of his words.

And I am not going to psychoanalyze either -- just relating what I hear. What I get from this statement, if I may pose my likeliest hypothetical, is: somewhere he's talked to a group of presumably male doctors (we know he ain't meeting with gay doctors since he lost the Log Cabin endorsement) who cannot practice medicine because lawsuit damages from admiring instead of examining a vagina are too expensive.
