Town Hall has was it claims is a transcript of Bush's fun filled riot of laughs before 1,500 guests at the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association:

Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere. (Laughter and applause.) ... Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere. (Laughter and applause.) ...
(via Drudge via Atrios)

Of course, Bush does lay on the sanctimony at the end:

To honor those who died on September the 11th, and to make a statement of their own commitment to this country's security, these Americans buried a piece of the World Trade Center in a place in Afghanistan where the al Qaeda once ran free.

There Bush goes again, mistaking a wish for a fact. What Bush meant to say "once ran free, except for the ones we didn't catch because we got sidetracked in Iraq, and who just escaped us again using tunnels."

And back to the sick humor (which I guess I'd prefer the lies to, if I had a choice). The sickest part of all is this:

Bush feels—rightly—that he can get away with this disgusting behavior in front of 1,500 members of the press.

UPDATE The Kerry reaction, again quoted by Drudge here. (Can't Kerry get his press releases up on his site?)
