Making a joke at the expense of a reporter, of senior citizens, altzheimer sufferers, etc. Basically, it reads: Bush: "You're acting old, get it? You can't remember anything like an old person, YOU'RE OLD!!, GET IT? OLD PEOPLE CAN'T remember...AHHAHAHAHAHA. Next question."
President Holds Press Conference: "Q I seem to remember a time in Texas on another problem, taxes, where you tried to get out in front and tell people it's not a crisis now, it's going to be a crisis down the line -- you went down in flames on that one. Why --
THE PRESIDENT: Actually, I -- if I might. (Laughter.) I don't think a billion-dollar tax relief that permanently reduced property taxes on senior citizens was 'flames,' but since you weren't a senior citizen, perhaps that's your definition of 'flames.'
Q I never got my billion --
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. Because you're not a senior citizen yet. Acting like one, however. Go ahead. (Laughter.)"
