Reported in today's Washington Post:

When George W. Bush was running for President, he once asked the question, "Is our children learning?"

Yesterday, he indicated that over the past seven years he has found the answer to that question: "Childrens do learn." This statement was made at a gathering he convened in New York City, for the purpose of discussing education, to which he summoned the city's Chancellor of Schools, one principal, several teachers and about twenty students from one school.

Quick research revealed that during the period when Bush attended Andover, Yale and Harvard Universities, each of them required mastery of subject-verb agreement in its English classes. The article did not disclose whether the formation of irregular plural nouns was also covered.

What's your favorite Bushism?
 
Too many.

"And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it."

Mission Accomplished.
 
My job is a job to make decisions. I'm a decision ...if the job description were, what do you do....it's decision maker."
 
my favorite bushism?

"I solemnly swear to uphold the constitution of the United States"

yeah right...
 
"The solution to Iraq -- an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself -- is more than a military mission. Precisely the reason why I sent more troops into Baghdad." - April 3rd, 2007

Fucking retard LOL.
 
"Fool me once, shame on...you? Fool me twice....fool me once can't get fooled again."

Ahh.
 
"The challenge facing the United States is that we have to be right one time."

or maybe

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
 
"I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?" --in a note to to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a U.N. Security Council meeting, September 14, 2005


"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." --Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005
 
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

On signing of Defense Bill in 2004
 
this one is actually not a slip up and hence it is much worse.

For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein's regime is a better and safer place.


"The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., July 12, 2007

"There are jobs Americans aren't doing. ... If you've got a chicken factory, a chicken-plucking factory, or whatever you call them, you know what I'm talking about." --George W. Bush. Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." --George W. Bush, interview with CBS News' Katie Couric, Sept. 6, 2006

see?
i dont think he is joking.
i play "the stupid american" here in belgium too. its very easy to convince people that you are stupid, as opposed to trying to convince people you have any fucking clue whats going on.
people want to believe that bush is stupid, or bumbling, or whatever. it makes it that much easier for him to slip some crazy shit past them openly.

i happen to think he is an extremely cunning guy. maybe he isnt so good at running a business, and maybe he rode his daddy's back to power....doesnt matter, if he can convince half the country that he is retarded, and the other half that he is the messiah, he has got it made, politically.
its important to remember what a polarizing force bush has been. he has to push the left into a position of calling him stupid, so that they arent challenging his actual policy...otherwise, he wouldnt be able to get anything done.
i happen to think that focusing on his "speech problems" is exactly what he would want. the longer you are thinking about what a terrible orater he is, the less time you spend being upset about his policies.
thats just my 2 cents, though.

Indeed. I reckon him as a very cunning and calculated person as well.

Although he has very embarrassing moments.

This is one of the most morbid:

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."—Washington, D.C., May 25, 2004
 
I also like. “The only way we can win is to leave before the job is done.”

Oddly accurate.

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

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories … And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."

"Can we win? I don't think you can win it." —after being asked whether the war on terror was winnable, "Today" show interview, Aug. 30, 2004

"I try to go for longer runs, but it's tough around here at the White House on the outdoor track. It's sad that I can't run longer. It's one of the saddest things about the presidency."

I can't believe how stupid this guy is.
 
I like the heading.
Oof, Bush is renown for his silly, air-headed statements. He really does make some wacko statements, and half the time your wondering how the hell he made it into power. Not only this, but all the officials love what he says. :bugeye:
