If Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden said that about the US
Constitution, you'd bet there'd be an uproar from our government. But
when our own president makes such a ludicrous statement, there's
surprisingly little comment in the conservative-controlled media.
Luckily, the conservatives don't control it all:

Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper'

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office
to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the
controversial USA Patriot Act.
Naturally, the Bush apologists in this group took me to task.
I guess none of you have changed your mind? Even though the detainee
bill the House and Senate just passed does away with things like habeus
corpus and permits torture for detainees?

Back in 1973, I recognized that my support of President Nixon was
misguided. I read enough and saw that he was guilty of helping to
cover-up the Watergate mess.
Bush is guilty of so much more. But it's amazing the way people
support him. He's done more damage to the Constitution than any other
enemy, foreign or domestic.

Not so much the Bush apologists, but people who believe the facts do
matter. The fact is, no one has ever stated that they heard Bush say the
quote you've attributed to him. Nor has anyone ever given the name of any
person who supposedly heard him say it. This was true last December, when
it was pointed out to you, and it's still true today. There is no
evidence that this statement is anything more than an anti-Bush fantasy.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
