A personal insult? It is a matter of historical fact that Bush
said
the world would be a better place if he was dictator. That's not
an insult, its a simple fact.
Please cite a verifiable source.

Newsday
Transition of Power: President-Elect Bush Meets With Congressional
Leaders
on
Capitol Hill
Aired December 18, 2000 - 12:00 p.m. ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM
AND MAY
BE
UPDATED.
FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: In the nation's capital, it's all about
George W.
Bush -- he's here and doing business -- while in state capitals,
it's the
day
the Electoral College meets and votes. And if all goes as planned,
the
electors
will certify Bush's narrow victory in last month's election.
He's already looking forward as he makes the rounds here in the
nation's
capital. A key item on his agenda today: meeting congressional
leaders.
CNN's Chris Black joins us from Capitol Hill with more now -- Chris.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENT-ELECT: I told all four that
there
were
going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But
that's
OK.
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just
so long
as
I'm the dictator.

Well, if you took that seriously you were probably the only one.

If you think that quote was inaccurate, it's your turn to provide a
verifiable
source. You didn't ask me to provide only verifiable sources I took
seriously....merely to provide a verifiable source, which I believe I
did.
Whether or not I took it seriously has nothing to do with it.
I never said it was inaccurate. I simply implied it was probably
intended to
be
humourous.
Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired
And I didn't say anything.....one way or the other, so I don't know what
made
you think I took it seriously. It wouldn't have been that you didn't
think that
anything existed at all by way of a cite and felt obliged to make light of
it
when one turned up, would it? Nah, of course not! You were just making
funnies. Yeah....that must be it. Sure it was.
One could doubtless find an example of some President making a humorous
reference to space aliens--that does not make it germane to the issue of
whether or not said President actually believes in space aliens. Face it,
Georgie--you were stretching for another opportunity to try and make Bush
look bad,.....
You sure do have a reading comprehension problem, don't you. Try to follow the
bouncing ball:
1. I was asked to provide a verifiable cite regarding a comment Bush was
supposed to make regarding being a dictator.
2. I provided the source that contained such a remark supposedly made by
him.
3. I was not asked to, nor did I certify that the remark was accurate, or
to describe the context in which it was made and I did NOT, in fact, make any
such certification or description.
4. Now, if you've followed it that far, then you need to pick a fight with
somebody else if that's what you're trying to do, because I had nothing else to
say during this exchange, one way or the other.
5. That's all there is.....I'm not stretching, or making any claims, or for
that matter, taking part in the exchange. All I did was to provide a cite for
the remark. If you think it was inaccurate, take it up with Newsday (since they
provided the CNN transcript).
Now, if you want to keep on arguing, find someone else with whom to take it up.
I provided a source for a comment.....that's all. If you want to pick nits,
pick them with someone who's in the argument, and that's not me. Got it?
