Scrubbing away. Shrub game some speech about HIV/AIDS in Philly today. Here's what several news sources report him saying:
Every man and woman and child who suffers from this addiction, from the streets of Philly to the villages of Africa, is a child of God who deserves our love and our help. And that's what I'm here to talk about today.
And then here's what the White House transcript has him as saying:
Every man and woman and child who suffers from this affliction, from the streets of Philly to the villages of Africa, is a child of God who deserves our love and our help. And that's what I'm here to talk about today.
It's one thing that all his damn "uhh"s and "umm"s get edited out of the transcripts. That's fairly standard, though it does take away some of the sense of confusion that pervade his words. But to change the actual words is, oh, what did Shrub like to call it? Oh, that's right, "historical revisionism." Silly.
