Do You Have An All-Time Favorite Bush Quote??
A few days after September 11th he said, (refering to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar in Afghanistan)


"We'll smoke 'em out, and git 'em runnin'."


Hmmm... Let's see... We smoked 'em out... They ran... But we certainly didn't git 'em! Osama is still at large, and Mullah Omar (a man with one eye) managed to evade the U.S. military.
:wtf:

5. Three
For funny, the one about "I know how hard it is to put food on your family".

For very stupid and thoughtless: "Bring 'em on."

Honorable mention:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again." George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

11. "The War on Terror has nothing to do about oil"
Other than the usual syntax problems, this statement is a baldface lie.

Well, if it's not about oil, maybe it's about war-profiteering.

25. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see our candidate in a debate ask *
"Why did you ask the President of Brazil, 'you have blacks too?'" Oh God, how would he answer that? What would the american people think (the ones who aren't stupid dumb f*ucks).

24. I just enjoy thinking about...
the collective "D'OH!"s which emit from the room where the Presidential Aides hang out, everytime Chowderhead opens his mouth. Picture a room with candybowls filled with extra-strength Advils, to counter the effects of all that forehead-slapping!

29. it's hard to decide
on a fave, there's so many good ones.

I like this one...

"Do you have blacks, too?"
-- George W. Bush, meeting with Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso; allegedly, in this incident, reportedly witnessed only by members of the White House Press Corps, Condoleezza Rice was present and jumped in to save Cardoso from having to answer, informing Bush that in fact Brazil is home to more blacks than any country outside Africa (date: November 2, 2001 ???)
