That was the punch line of the joke where the then president was supposed to have walked on water to save a drowning person. I just detest the leftist slant used by the media against their enemies. But it doesn't stop there.
Today's news has it that the remains of Natalie Holloway from Birmingham have been found by her father and a private investigator. Nothing wrong so far, they met with an informant who told them where to dig. But the media called her "infamous teen".
To the best of my knowledge, there was nothing infamous about her. She was an innocent who was victimized by a predator. Maybe her mistake was just going on the group trip to a place with some pretty loose laws. Turns out the assumed killer had a father who was a judge and knew his way round getting his son off the hook. It didn't work the next time he pulled his shit. He's now 8 years into a 28 year sentence for his next murder. I have no idea how courts and prisons work in South America, but I would hope 28 years there means 28. So now we wait and see what the DNA reveals about the bones.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

He's comparing the joke about Bush walking on water(being unable to swim) to the poor representation of the girl in the article. It's about "the leftist slant used by the media against their enemies".
That said, until last year sometime(Im in my mid-30s) I thought that infamous and famous were basically the same thing. Maybe whoever wrote the article thought the same because, no, it doesn't make sense in context.

I wonder if there was any usable evidence found that could tie Van Der Sloot to the murder. If he survives his sentence in Peru, maybe they can charge him.
An added {Natalie Holloway} in the title would be advisable.
Naw. I thought it was a joke about Reggie Bush, who is a black athlete. It is fun to read threads where the thread title does not match the content. Just like watching the local news on television.
