You are a little bit right on all of the above. And yes, you seem not to have understood it. Interesting the difference a few years make. In 1968 I was standing on the corner of Haight and Ashbury feeling like the king of the freeking world.

Claim: President George W. Bush proclaimed, "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."
Status: False.

Origins: Yet another
"George W. Bush is dumb" story has been taken up by those who like their caricatures drawn in stark, bold lines. According to scuttlebutt that emerged in the British press in July 2002, President Bush, Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, and France's President Jacques Chirac were discussing economics and, in particular, the decline of the French economy. "The problem with the French," Bush afterwards confided in Blair, "is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."

The source was Shirley Williams, also known as the Baroness Williams of Crosby, who claimed "my good friend Tony Blair" had recently regaled her with this anecdote in Brighton.

Lloyd Grove of The Washington Post was unable to reach Baroness Williams to gain her confirmation of the tale, but he did receive a call from Alastair Campbell, Blair's director of communications and strategy. "I can tell you that the prime minister never heard George Bush say that, and he certainly never told Shirley Williams that President Bush did say it," Campbell told The Post. "If she put this in a speech, it must have been a joke."

And by the time I got to San Francisco in 1976 it was just a gay paradise. Still some street people but they were mainly just there to sell stuff to the tourists to go withe their "I escaped from Alcatraz" T shirts

LMFAO....and you are going to believe Alistair Campbell....yeah right. Even if it is an urban legend, which I have read before, it is totally believable. So either way, it works.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is hysterical and totally believeable. But I showed it to my wife and she said it must be wrong so I had to look it up.

If you read the whole article there is a note in there that one of the other things that was said back in 2002 was that he waved at Stevie Wonder. That one made me choke.lolololol

Bet you think I did acid too.


It looks pretty interesting Might be inclined to give it a perusal.

Thanx
