How can someone that says that truly represent our country?
I think that statemenst says more about Bush and his motives than anything he has said at the debates. I sure wish that statement would be mentioned at the debates.

Terryjim, that is a crock of shit. Bush was speaking at a bi-partisan fundraiser, one that Al Gore was at in fact. He wasn't even in office at the time.
That's why they call Moore a "spin doctor".

Another Bush joke is presented as an obvious joke, although important context is missing. Near the end of the movie, Bush speaks to a tuxedoed audience. He says, "I call you the haves and the have-mores. Some call you the elite; I call you my base." The joke follows several segments in which Bush is accused of having started the Iraq war in order to enrich business. As far the movie audience can tell, Bush is speaking to some unknown group of rich people. The speech actually comes from the October 19, 2000, Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. The 2000 event was the 55th annual dinner, which raises money for Catholic hospital charities in New York City. Candidates Bush and Gore were the co-guests of honor at the event, where speakers traditionally make fun of themselves.
