Bushisms

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I'm partial to teh one that was in my sig fro a while:

"I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome."—Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 2005, on the reception of American forces in Iraq

I like it because it's not only hilarious, but also because it's not an example of him being tongue-tied; it actually reveals how willing he is to spout non-sequiters rather than admit any error in judgment.

This is my fave,



"Do you have blacks, too?"—To Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001

horrible.

I'm supporting Obama for pres, though I probably won't get a chance to vote for him, as Hilary will win out, and I don't vote in primaries because I'm independant.

Only thing is Obama has almost no experience. Only been a senator since 2004. Local politic before then. But he seems smart. I think it would be nice to have a smart president for once.

Brazil has black people too?

A smart president? Isn't that an oxymoron?


Just kidding. We had Washington, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, so that makes three.

How can you forget Thomas Jefferson and John Qunicy Adams?

Adams was an abysmal president.

Siro, come on, Al Gore won the Oscar for the best "documentary" and the Nobel for .. peace.

You know, anything is really possible. It doesn't mean Bush is smart just because he got drunk at Harvard few times. It doesn't make him stupid either, but you get the point.

People give way too much credit for people because they've been awarded with some plastic thing or because they allegedly visited a place once. So what? It is in the actual _accomplishments_, when we should judge someones intelligence or stupidity.

No matter what, all the candidates for the next race seems pretty smart to me. Arnold should be the president though, because he kicks butts.

And to avoid a complete threadjack, bushism:

The one with fool me once is pretty good

Bushi is a living legend

he needs a third term on entertainment grounds


this one is my favourite

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.

he needs to continue as a stand up comedian, in case he is not allowed to continue in the office.

My only question about this is whether Rumsfeld was even paying attention to what he said. It looks like he wasn't
