"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

I understood Bush's point; it's NYT's I'm asking for, but thanks for playing the jackass. Not suprised you did that...
His point is that he was talking about modern Germany's role in the Iraq war, so his malapropism did not come from making a Saddam-Hitler analogy as the thread title would suggest.
By "his" point, I obviously meant NYE's point, since Bush wouldn't be making points about the thread title. You should have been able to "figure that out from context." Clearly, however, you suck at that. Ironic, since context is the topic of conversation right now."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

I'm surprised they have the free time in Russia to make all those posters."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

He was talking about Germany and Iraque and mixed both nations speaking wise. That's what happens to everyone once in a while. You talk about trees and bees and say bee when you mean tree.
And about the "Most of our imports come from overseas"
That's not really stupid since import can come from Canada and Mexico as well, not the mention all of southern america. That's not overseas.
Besides that, yeah, once in a while Bush says stupid things by accident. That's funny though 8)Formerly known as "CyberShy"

For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled." --explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." (Laughter) --touring hurricane damage, Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005
