The latest version of the Progress Report from the disreputable Center for American Progress includes a bunch of phony quotes from President Bush, which CAP bills as a "translated" version of his priorities in his budget:
BUSH: 'TOO MANY POOR KIDS GO TO COLLEGE'...
BUSH: 'OIL COMPANIES AREN'T MAKING ENOUGH MONEY'...
BUSH: 'LEAVING NO CHILD BEHIND ISN'T WORTH THE COST'...
BUSH: 'NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE ENTERING OUR COUNTRY UNDETECTED'...
BUSH: 'VETERANS SHOULD PAY MORE FOR HEALTH CARE'...
BUSH: 'TRUST ME -- TERRORISTS WILL NEVER TRY TO HIDE EXPLOSIVES IN AIRLINE CARGO'...
BUSH: 'I STILL WANT TO PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY'...
BUSH: 'DRINKING CLEAN WATER IS A PRIVILEGE'...
BUSH: 'MY HIGHEST PRIORITY: TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHIEST'...
Making up stuff and putting it in bold quotes is just a nasty cheap shot. I wouldn't be surprised if lefty CAP supporters end up thinking these are real quotations.
