Bushisms
Love him or hate him, fear him or revere him, but there is no doubting, George W. Bush is a master comedian. Either that or just plain bloody stupid!

"A Bushism is any of a number of peculiar words, phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms, semantic or linguistic errors, and gaffes that have occurred in the public speaking of United States President George W. Bush." Source: reference.com
I heard one today and it made me laugh so much I wanted to preserve some on my own site for posterity... and to poke more fun at this incredibly inept (and dangerous) man.
The comments, stumbles, gaffs and blunders of George Bush give us all a unique insight into the mind of the man.
So in no particular order, here are some of my favorite Bushisms:
"Our nation must come together to unite."
George W. Bush
"One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected."
George W. Bush
"I'm conservative, but I'm not a nut about it."
George W. Bush
"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures."
George W. Bush
"Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their, their love with women all across this country."
George W. Bush
"A lame duck session, for people who don't know what that means, it means the Senate is coming and the House is coming back between now and Christmas and they've got a few days to get some big things done."
George W. Bush
"As Luce reminded me, he said, without data, without facts, without information, the discussions about public education mean that a person is just another opinion."
George W. Bush
"As governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards."
George W. Bush
"I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose - You disarm, or we will."
George W. Bush
"In my sentences I go where no man has gone before."
George W. Bush
"We cannot let terrorists hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile."
George W. Bush
"We are ready for any unforeseen event which may or may not happen."
George W. Bush
"I understand small business growth. I was one."
George W. Bush
"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
"I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state."
George W. Bush
"Whether or not it needed to happen, I'm still convinced it needed to happen."
George W. Bush
"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."
George W. Bush
"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."
George W. Bush
"This administration is doing everything we can to end the stalemate in an efficient way. We're making the right decisions to bring the solution to an end."
George W. Bush
"I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together."
George W. Bush
"Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time."
George W. Bush
"The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production."
George W. Bush
"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."
George W. Bush
"We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor just like you like to be liked yourself."
George W. Bush
"We look forward to analyzing and working with legislation that will make - it would hope - put a free press's mind at ease that you're not being denied information you shouldn't see."
George W. Bush
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."
George W. Bush
"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well."
George W. Bush
"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. That's what I'm telling you."
George W. Bush
"I mean, there needs to be a wholesale effort against racial profiling, which is illiterate children."
George W. Bush
"There's not going to be enough people in the system to take advantage of people like me."
George W. Bush
"I can't wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbors back into neighborhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs."
George W. Bush
"That woman who knew I had dyslexia: I never interviewed her."
George W. Bush
"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?"
George W. Bush
"I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."
George W. Bush
"He can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road."
George W. Bush
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
George W. Bush
"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it."
George W. Bush
"The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case."
George W. Bush
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."
George W. Bush
"If you find a neighbor in need, you're responsible for serving that neighbor in need, you're responsible for loving a neighbor just like you'd like to love yourself."
George W. Bush
