On the Bush abortion scandal charges: CNN transcriptCNN DELETES FLYNT ATTACK ON BUSH FROM CROSSFIRE TRANSCRIPT Sunday evening a surprised Bush watcher reported that Larry Flynt's Friday evening Crossfire allegation that George W. Bush was "involved in" an early 1970's abortion and that he had proof of it was removed from the transcript posted on the CNN web site at cnn.com. Here's how the relevant portion of the transcript now reads: HUGHES: It is effective, but I -- it needs to be coupled with technology tools. And let me just say that the points that I'm making, I'm speaking as an individual commissioner. All right, so I just want to make that clear.

Tell me what you wanted to say. FLYNT: Well, during the impeachment debacle, we did an investigation which resulted in the resignation of Bob Livingston and others and we have continued this investigation and for eight months we've been looking into George W. Bush's background. And we've found out in the early 1970s he was involved in an abortion in Texas, and I just think that it's sad that the mainstream media, who's aware of this story, won't ask him that question when they were able to ask him the drug question without any proof at all, and we've got all kinds of proof on this issue. NOVAK: Well, you're...
