How many times does hearsay need to be repeated before it becomes irrefutable? Is there a hard and fast rule?

If Bush denies it, does it become false?

Holden it only becomes hearsay if Bush denies it. To my knowledge he has not.

If he denied it then the matter would be up for debate. But as he has not, the quote is seen as fact.

It is not a quote.

It does not have to be denied to remain uncorroberated.

If it were not true someone on the bush team would speak up. thats all the proof I need.

Corrobboration? lmao who needs that. This article ran in the washington Post and no retraction was ever issued. I am sure if you search through newspapers you will find it pretty much made all of them(the major ones) at one point.

maybe he didnt say it and he thinks it was something he should have said so he never discounted it. Or maybe it was similar enough to what he said. Sounds like bush to me. Am I sure? maybe lol

I didnt realize this was a trial? are you sure it is??? lol

just for the record if I ever do go serve on a jury be sure I would take it with the utmost sense of respect and fairness. I would also would expect the defendant to deny the charges.

No need to have a sense of respect or fairness elsewhere.

ok forget it now. you are just attacking me personally.

I held up a mirror to your statement. Take it how you like, however it was not a personal attack.

Man, they probably let guys that think that way on juries all the time. Scary.
