Island- I really don't think that Kerry was trying to insinuate anything as 'woody' as you think. Why would you gather that he was trying to argue that Bush was setting up some phoney timber business on the side?

Really his point was that the administration has been saying that any tax increase for the top 2% would mean a tax increase for xxx,xxx small businesses and that would be bad because that means this many 'businesses' won't be hiring as a result. (That was what had come out of Bush's mouth immediately before the woody moment.) This count is based on tax return filings, & the methodology that the administration is using to create this count is such that it includes Bush as a 'small business owner' based on his return. The administrations own standards for counting the number of small businesses affected would define Bush as an 'owner' of the timber company. This is obviously ridiculous- the fairly distant relationship of Bush to the company mentioned above by others.

If Factcheck.org is the internets' (plural) liberal propoganda machine why did Cheney suggest that tens of millions of viewers use it?
