        I was no supporter of GWB, but he was a decent man lead by indecent people. Trump is an indecent man lead by more indecent people.

        Could have been referring to the #FunkyRainCoat he was wrestling, but it's perfectly said if he meant to comment on the #Inauguration

        NY Times claims 3 people heard GWB make the "weird shit" comment, and that makes it true? Typical as usual, NY fish-wrapper fake news BS.

        Which certainly allows that it's something he COULD have said. This is certainly one of those "don't ruin a good story with facts!"

        He said it and knows he did. Admitting it on NPR, though, is a bridge too far.
