Bush:

KERRY: But what you can do is create a fair playing field, and that's what I'm talking about.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's just not true what he said. The Wall Street Journal said 96 percent of small businesses are not affected at all by my plan.

And you know why he gets that count? The president got $84 from a timber company that [he] owns, and he's counted as a small business. Dick Cheney's counted as a small business. That's how they do things. That's just not right.

BUSH: I own a timber company?

(LAUGHTER)

That's news to me.

(LAUGHTER)

Need some wood?

(via Transcript)

The truth:

President Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business owner" under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise.

Hey, I guess Bush is doing so well he just can't keep track of everything he owns! "Go figure."

And it is, of course, especially rich that it is none other than FactCheck.Org that gives us, well, the facts. The very same FactChecks.Org that Cheney Cheney'ed himself with (back) earlier this week.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-!

YABL, YABL, YABL!

Bush "wood" if he "could"....

NOTE Pandagon was right.

UPDATE Nice to see the Kerry Campaign press release on this was posted at at 10:45PM.
