The 10 Stupidest Things President George W. Bush Has Ever Said

So, I got this email today entitled, “The 10 Stupidest Things President George W. Bush Has Ever Said.”

The first question that popped into my head was, “How the hell did they narrow it down to just ten?”

For your reading pleasure, I’m reprinting a copy of the email here (with comments, of course!). Enjoy! : )

10. "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
—LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Oct. 18, 2000
9. "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."
—Greater Nashua, New Hampshire, Jan. 27, 2000
8. "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft."
—Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, Missouri, Oct. 8, 2004
Internets? There’s more than one? Maybe one for Texans and one for the rest of the world…
7. "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
—Saginaw, Michigan, Sept. 29, 2000
Not with the Republican environmental policies.
6. "You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that."
—To a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005
This is just ignorant. I bet that hard-working mother was dying to smack the taste and the silveer spoon out of his mouth.
5. "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
—Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Sept. 6, 2004
Tee hee!
4. "They misunderestimated me."
—Bentonville, Arkansas, Nov. 6, 2000
The whole country did….
3. "Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"
—Florence, South Carolina, Jan. 11, 2000
Is they? Come on, is they REALLY gettin’ that good book learnin’?
2. "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."
—Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
Dear George,
You are the biggest threat to the safety of the American people.
Sincerely,
~p~
1. "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."
—Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe he fucked that up…


I now understand why my dad always REFUSED to put bumper stickers on ANY of his cars. (Well, the one exception was Cleveland Browns stickers. That’s one thing that will NEVER change. He’ll always be a Browns fan!) Things change. People change their minds. And, I don’t know about you, but scraping sticker goo off a bumper is usually not too high on my list of priorities.

Since I live in the state LOADED with election fraud, which just happens to be the state in 2004 that managed to fuck up the election, I am particularly bitter at those who choose to advertise their conservative (read: Pro-Shrub) political preferences. Specifically, the “W-04” stickers that seem to be everywhere. (Hey, if you have one of those, IT’S NOT 2004. YOU’RE LIVING THREE YEARS IN THE PAST!)

I see them all over the place. Not quite so much anymore, but still more than enough. I would LOVE to walk up to someone with that sticker on the ass of their car and ask, “So, do you still think you made the right choice? Still proud of the fact that you (re)elected a moron who, as a senior partner or executive, managed to destroy THREE separate oil companies? Still think that invading Iraq was the right thing to do? Still think that it’s good we’re STILL there? Still think that the Iraqi people are singing our praises?

The fact is that Bush made a mistake, LIED about making a mistake, is STILL lying about making said mistake, and is spending trillions of tax dollars that could be feeding malnourished children in American inner cities fighting both sides of his daddy’s war.

Still confident of that choice?
