You seem to like hearsay, Lurker. Here's some I'll bet you'll choose not to swallow (just spit it into a tissue. No one will notice).
Bush 'Paid For Abortion'
The Daily Telegraph - UK
President Bush faced an extraordinary claim last night that he once paid for a girl-friend to have an abortion.
The pro-life president arranged for the procedure in the early 1970s, according to porn publisher Larry Flynt.
The controversial publisher of Hustler magazine told the New York Daily News he will make the claims in a book coming out this summer.
'This story has got to come out,' said 61-year-old Flynt. 'There's a lot of hypocrisy in the White House about this whole abortion issue. I've talked to the woman's friends.
'I've tracked down the doctor who did the abortion, I tracked down the Bush people who arranged for the abortion I got the story nailed.'
But Flynt would not disclose if he plans to name the woman.
The White House had no immediate comment on the claim.
The abortion claim is the first hint of serious scandal that has emerged to harm the president's re-election chances.
Having won his party's support and the endorsement of family and conservative groups with his strong pro-life stance, it is certain to come under close scrutiny as the election in November draws closer.
