Anyone got Bush on video saying "The constitution is just a godammned peice of paper"?

Seems like it was behind closed doors, good luck finding video or audio:





DOUG THOMPSON | December 9 2005





Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.





Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.





GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.





“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”





“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”





“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”





I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”

Anyone got Bush on video saying "The constitution is just a godammned peice of paper"?
"No. That story came from Capitol Hill Blue, who's not enamored of Bush, and was as [allegedly] told to the reporter by 2 unnamed staffers of unnamed legislators that it was said in a private meeting with Bush.





That means it is uncorroborated and unverifiable."

Yes But, I still do not put it past him. It defiantly sounds like a bush answer to me.
Reply:I hadn't heard audio or seen video for that but I wouldn't put it past him to say such insane things.





All he's ever shown us is just because he wears the "commander in chief pants" that he can abuse that power and authority to do whatever, whenever he wants with no question or consequence.





Good luck finding the audio or video....if you do then post it soon..I'll be looking for it as well.
Reply:No. That story came from Capitol Hill Blue, who's not enamored of Bush, and was as [allegedly] told to the reporter by 2 unnamed staffers of unnamed legislators that it was said in a private meeting with Bush. [ed] I re-read it and it is 3 unnamed persons. The number doesn't make it any more believable.





That means it is uncorroborated and unverifiable.





I don't put too much stock in uncorroborated reports from unnamed people as reported by people who vehemently oppose the target of their dirt. That's rarely a good source of truth.





By the same token, I don't believe any stories about my political opponents that have the same lack of corroboration or ability to be verified. It is especially important to verify such reports against your political opponents, else you'll be called out (and rightly so) and all your statements will be suspect.

[ed] Also, one should look at the rest of Bush's tenure in office, because there is nothing of similar nature at all, in fact, he's shown very strong support of the Constitution and has bent over backwards to not run afoul of it while still trying to accomplish everything.





Thus being uncorroborated and not in keeping with the character of the rest of his actions, it has little chance of being the truth, IMO.
Reply:No do you ?
Reply:Ive read about this many times but never seen it on video, just reminds me of the hundreds of un named 'official sources' who wrote about the AQ threats, Osama, the Taliban, Saddams nukes,and his WMD stories....why the hell we all believed them Im damned if I know.
