Bush OB/GYN gaffe on official WhiteHouse.Gov website

To the WH's credit, I'm almost amazed they don't "SIC" these or otherwise somehow "fix" his gaffes.

About half the way down webpage.

But let me tell you what else we need to do. We need to do something about these frivolous lawsuits that are running up the cost of your health care and running good docs out of business. (Applause.) 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. See, I don't think you can be pro-doctor and pro-patient and pro-hospital and pro-trial lawyer at the same time. (Applause.) I think you've got to make a choice. My opponent made his choice, and he put him on the ticket. (Applause.) I made my choice. I'm for medical liability reform now. (Applause.) In all we do to improve health care, we will make sure that health decisions are made by doctors and patients, not by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. (Applause.)

1. Well, they did clean it up a bit

They pulled the dramatic pause before the "love" quote.

2. So, if he wants to make sure that decisions are made by

doctors and patients, why did he oppose the Patient's Bill Of Rights?

Flip-flop or just a lying sack of shit? You decide. I think we all know the answer to that one.

3. The man is deranged
