Is Bush Wired?

Just watched the second debate. Kerry in a landslide, though Bush made it a little closer. Best line of the day: "I own a timber company? That's news to me. [8 second pause] Need some wood?"

From FactCheck.org: (http://www.buzzflash.com/buzzscripts/buzz.dll/sub3)

"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
. However, 99.99% of Bush's
total income came from other sources that year. (Bush also qualified
as a "small business owner" in 2000 based on $314 of "business
income,'but not in 2002 and 2003 when he reported his timber income
as 'royalties' on a different tax schedule.)"
