I'll start:

"I think we agree, the past is over."
"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are fantastic pictures."
"If this was a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."
"Let me put it to you this way, I am not a revengeful person."
"And there's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail."
"Do you have blacks too?" - as said to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso
"Arbolist...Look up the word. I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, somebody who knows about trees."
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."
"I want to thank you for taking the time out of your day to come and witness my hanging."
"Anyway, I'm so thankful and so gracious--I'm gracious that my brother Jeb is concerned about the hemisphere as well."
"It's about past seven in the evening here so we're actually in different time lines."
"Our nation must come together to unite."
"The reason I believe in a large tax cut because it's what I believe."
"Home is important. It's important to have a home."
"I've coined new words, like 'misunderstanding' and 'Hispanically'."

And my favorite, from earlier this week:

"We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are gettin' out of business. Too many OB/GYN'S aren't able to practice their--their LOVE with women all across this country. - George W. Bush (the video to this quote can be found here: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/atrios/bushlove.wmv )

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur..."

"Our enemies never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

So... comforting. *sheds a tear*

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"

"I want to see strong resolutions coming out of that U.N. -- a resolution which says the old ways of deceit are gone; a resolution which will hold this man to account,"

Bush was really out of it on this one. Who could expect the UN to produce something strong. :rolleyes:

I don't think any of the Bushism's are funny, especially after the 5000th time I've seen them. Maybe our sense of humor differs. :rolleyes:

i think is our children learning is still pretty amusing, and strategery

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it." --Reuters, May 5,

I think this is one of my all-time favorites. I never get tired of hearing it.

Since Dubya apparently loves random inserts of español, he's the biggest cabeza estupida (eng.: stupid-head) I have ever heard of.

On the threat from North Korea's nukyular program, the Prime Minister and I see the problem exactly the same way. We will not tolerate nukyular weapons in North Korea. ...We will not settle for anything less than the complete, verifiable, and irreversible elimination of North Korea's nukyular weapons program. ...At talks held in Beijing last month, China called on North Korea to renounce nukyular weapons... The issue of North Korea's nukyular weapons is a grave challenge to entire world. We will not at all tolerate the possession, the development or the transfer of nukyular weapons by North Korea. North Korea must promptly and completely dismantle all nukyular weapons development programs in a verifiable manner. ...It is extremely important for Japan to comprehensively resolve the various issues, including nukyular weapons. ...Acceptance by the international community and potential help will come when [the North Koreans] change their behavior and their attitude toward nukyular weapons. ...Then we will have the Japanese and South Koreans join the dialogue so that there's now five of us sitting around the table, all discussing how to see that the Korean Peninsula is nukyular-weapons-free. ... And the importance of this meeting today should say to the world that Japan and the United States stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the issue of North Korea's nukyular weaponry.

My name's George Walker Bush, and I don't want North Korea to have any nucyular weapons.

Like Margaret Cho says: It's nuclear fool!"

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur..."
this guy is stupid, unmistakably (is this a word? :p)

It reads like a mystery. Like a novel. It's well written.
W. on the 9/11 report.

Sorry, this is the best place for this, which I found funny: (from the Onion)

Bush Campaign More Thought Out Than Iraq War
WASHINGTON, DC—Military and political strategists agreed Monday that President Bush's re-election campaign has been executed with greater precision than the war in Iraq. "Judging from the initial misrepresentation of intelligence data and the ongoing crisis in Najaf, I assumed the president didn't know his ass from his elbow," said Col. Dale Henderson, a military advisor during the Reagan Administration. "But on the campaign trail, he's proven himself a master of long-term planning and unflinching determination. How else can you explain his strength in the polls given this economy?" Henderson said he regrets having characterized Bush's handling of the war as "incompetent," now that he knows the president's mind was simply otherwise occupied.

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur..."
Great example of how moronic a chief executive we have. (1): the Frenchies invented the word and (2): the problem with the Frenchies is that they are so hateful. Well :upyours: to France!

the problem with the Frenchies is that they are so hateful. Well :upyours: to France!

Um...anyone else see something wrong with that?

Um...anyone else see something wrong with that?
Don't worry. I found that hilariously ironic too. ;)

Here's a good Bushism:

In the heart of this great city, we saw tragedy arrive on a quiet morning. We saw the bravery of rescuers grow with danger. We learned of passengers on a doomed plane who died with a courage that frightened their killers. We have seen a shaken economy rise to its feet. And we have seen Americans in uniform storming mountain strongholds, and charging through sandstorms and liberating millions, with acts of valor that would make the men of Normandy proud.

Or is that not quite what you were looking for?

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur..."

Please tell me you're joking. Surely even Bush can't be that stupi- oh, wait, what the heck am I talking about? Of course he can!

This is one of my favorites, it was on the end of Ferenheit 9/11.

"Most of our imports come from other country's." -Dubya

MOST not all?
So where do the rest come from?

LOL, That's freaking hilarious.

I just can't pick my favorite. A friend of mine has a book of them, they're all so retarded.

Those arnt really that funny or making Bush look stupid. Now non of them are as funny and stupid as John Kerry's quote:

"I actually did vote for the 87 billion, before I voted against it"

You dont see Bush acting as dumb as that.

"I want to reinerate what I said the other day. Our policy is to deny sanctuary to terrorists any place in the world, and we will be very actively in doing that."

"We didn't need any more theory in Washington. We needed people that actually done."

"Make the pie higher!"

"I admit it. I am not one of the great linguists."

This is all well and good, but remember, this is our president. I find this kind of sad that the guy WE voted in a guy who can't talk no good (I meant to say that). Is this really the best the U.S has to offer? I mean seriously, what the heck?

While certainly a flub in a sound bite world, the difference is when you take this one in context and what he was saying it actually makes sense, where "Most of our imports come from different countries" will never make sense. Most of that guys job is communicating-the fact that he sucks ass at it is important.

I have a Wesley Clarkism -

"And when the President does two things that I agree with - one of them attacking the Taliban in Iraq . . . then I'm going to say so"
Funny thing, General Clark, the Taliban are in AFGHANISTAN!

I've seen this all over the internet:

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.

I know that the human being
and the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!

Vulcanize Society!

Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

Heres one: "I gotta admit, a dictatorship would be a lot easier."

You don't see Bush acting dumb as that? Obviously you haven't been reading this thread...
:rolleyes:

I called him a cabeza estupida (translation in the post in ?).

And what is so ironic or wrong about the fact that I said the French are hateful? It's the truth.

As you know, we don't have relationships with Iran. I mean, that's -- ever since the late '70s, we have no contacts with them, and we've totally sanctioned them.

Four years ago -- well, none of us will ever forget that week when one era ended and another began. On September the 14th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I'll never forget.

I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island and talk about what slavery meant to America. It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America. America is what it is today because of what went on in the past.

We've got -- John Biagas is with us. John, thank you for coming. Newport News, Virginia. Newport News, Virginia. John purchased his business in 1997. He took a gamble and said, I'm going to buy the business from the previous owner. I think he said they might have had a million dollars' worth of sales in 1997 -- they're over $14 million now. That's pretty good growth, isn't it, in a five-year period of time?
-- Great, except that 1997 is seven years ago, Washington, D.C., Jul. 2, 2004

I don't think any of the Bushism's are funny, especially after the 5000th time I've seen them. Maybe our sense of humor differs. :rolleyes:
It's the same as having a remote. Try flipping the channel if you've seen it already. You have enough free time and wit to visit something so clearly labeled and headlined that you want to see it all again PAST the "5000th time"?
Typical Republican blatant exaggerations aside, one would think you would know what to do better with your time.

Here's a good Bushism:



Or is that not quite what you were looking for?
Consider the difference between that and a great many of the posts here ... he very likely didn't write that one. He may have practiced it and he may have spoken it but he probably didn't write it or come up with it on his own at all.
You can feel proud all you want about someone that says nice things to make you feel good about being arseraped by your own government but you're only fooling people who deserve to be fooled.

I forgot all about "make the pie higher!" So what, you going to inject an apple pie with marijuana?

And I'm still waiting to read what makes my comment about the hatefulness by the French so ironic. Is it b/c I was being just as hateful towards them as they are towards the US?

It reads like a mystery. Like a novel. It's well written.
W. on the 9/11 report.
Queries ... did he say that before or after his admin reps harangued the panel into not asking certain questions per "security reasons" or after the 78 some-odd pages were extracted for "security reasons" and overall flowing readability? Did his version have pop-ups?
Or was he talking about "My Pet Goat" which he so cleverly stuck into the 9/11 report bookjacket to appease lookers-on?

That's my attitude towards the Frenchies. Come to think of it, I wish I could find one of those "piss on..." window stickers where the kid that looks like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is doing his biz on a map of France. Of course, even if I did find one of those, I would have to buy a vehicle for it to go on.
