"Bush Wins" - CNN four years ago.

Maybe not so funny to those of you out there who look down on a man who makes regular verbal fumbles, but who actually has a pretty good political track record.

Hysterical for the rest of us though.

And odds are he will do it again.

You just interrupted a conversation about how we're working on a strategy to help the Iraqis become a free nation.

Not funny?

"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." —George W. Bush, May 14 2001

How can you not like that one?

You know what else I think? You know what else I think when they say, tax the rich? Most rich people are able to avoid taxes, and if you can't raise enough money from taxing the rich, guess who pays the taxes? Yes, you do.
-- Dubya explains his tax priorities by portraying the concept of taxing the rich as a pipe dream. I guess we might as well drop their rate to 0%. Albuquerque, New Mexico, Aug. 11, 2004

We have overcome a recession. That means things are going backwards.
-- Dubya seems intent on burning this meaningless phrase into the ground, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mar. 26, 2004

If you're working all your life to build up your small business, and you want to leave it whoever you want to leave it to, they shouldn't -- that asset shouldn't be taxed twice, shouldn't tax your income when you're making money, and shouldn't tax it when you pass it on to your son, daughter, whoever you want to pass it on to, it doesn't make -- we're working with the Congress to get rid of it.

Higher productivity means that workers earn more.

I can laugh at others in a funny way, not mean, I can laugh at myself,
IM no good at joke telling. Not a quote but a bad joke - Santa-Nita Bush,
I have an intresting Clinton joke story coming, so one for Bush and one
for Clinton to be fair, remenber I admit bad.

I put commas between words after space , I mispel words , I admit
my punctuations are awful , . There is a rumor going oround Santa- Nita,
from a credible witness that the now President 20 years ago in shool
was taking a test, rewrite the sentences placing the verb here, the adjective
there, noun here etc, etc, had nothing on his paper, time was running out,
decided the best thing to do was rewrite the sentences the best way they
sound to him and forget the verb here, the adjective there , the noun here,
and he got an A on the test, told the teacher and you should have seen
the look on her face, she did not like it. These revelations are causing
trouble mainly in Santa- Nitas Parliment calling for the Vice Presidents
resignation, how did he ever get elected President with 90 percent voter
turnout and 77.78 Percent of the vote, for 70 Percent of the Nations support,
but then agiain there is George W.
I have a story joke on Clinton I heard so I figured be fair to both sides.
Ps. I am a Republican I have my reasons and Democrats have their reasons
in a democracy.

President Carlos A Cruz favorite subjects in shool, Math, History, Geography,
also Statistics, Biographys, Economics, Politics, A Political Junkie,
have been praised by teachers for my writing style but bad Punctuations

We've got pockets of persistent poverty in our society, which I refuse to declare defeat - I mean, I refuse to allow them to continue on.
