This is my personal favourite:

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."—Sept. 6, 2004, Poplar Bluff, Mo.

Say what you want, President G. W. Bush is one of the finest in the history of this land. The reason why so many liberals are so outspoken against this President is because he is far greater than their hypcratic hero Clinton. The louder they get (and with the liberal media piling on) the more they think they are making a dent into the great legacy this President will leave. One minute he is an evil genius and the next he is an idiot. Its just immature, banal, petty and really quite a shame for them to act that way. Truth, honesty and facts are all on the side of President Bush.

Clearly, Bush is not our most articulate president. But that quote, like the others, is a malapropism, a gaff. It's not even intentional, let alone spiteful.

**Edit**
I guess I should put some words here:
Is that why he has the lowest satisfaction rating in recent history? Most of the country is banal, petty, and immature?
:hmm: Somehow I don't think so!

Yes, I've heard on the radio George W. Bush caused the Pacific Tsunami with a nuclear device.

That happened some weeks ago over here with a senator explaining his vote for the new head of the supreme court, which is a woman:

"As a GYN, I've learned to deal closely with women, to understand very profoundly the feminine sensibility".

If he wasn't a GYN, there wouldn't be any problem, he could've just said what he wanted to say, without remembering he was a GYN. But even basketball players can do bad, this substitute senator said:

"I've heard alot about her competence, her knowledge of the law, her intellectuality, but my vote also counts her beauty and charm". Dunked.

Its my favourite because its funny. As are most of the ones I posted (though some are simply creepy - like the one about "catapulting the proganda"). Is GW spiteful? You bet he is, or did you not see him on camera mocking the retarded woman he had denied clemency to (while Governor) and who was about to be executed? However, I thought I'd instead post the lighter side of GW as he can be pretty amusing at times too.

Sea Demon 04-19-06 09:35 PM

Some of you here are funny. :lol: I realize that a popular way for some Democrats to cope with America's political realities is to call G.W. Bush "stupid" or an idiot. Something he's clearly not. But if it makes you feel better....go for it. Just because an individual is not a great public speaker does not mean they are stupid. While I find these Democrats who assume this as amusing myself, I got to say that it displays alot about the accuser. It's called immaturity. And it's not going to win Democrats any votes.

But that's of little significance. I wonder how you guys are going to cope when Republicans retain control of the House and Senate next fall. And yes, G.W. Bush will still be President.

Last month, Pew released its latest study of American attitudes, finding that just one in three support Bush's leadership. Even among those who say they voted for Bush in 2004, his support has fallen from 92 per cent at the beginning of 2005 to 68 per cent. Asked for a one-word description of the President, the most common response was "incompetent," followed closely by "idiot" and "liar."

That's a verbatim quote from a magazine article I posted in a separate thread (Is George W. Bush the worst president in 100 years?). But why let reality intrude upon a good rant. :lol:

Oh...polls...schmolls. Pew also showed a John Kerry victory 1 week before last Presidential election. And we saw how that turned out. The only poll that matters is election day. And the American people have made clear their wishes both times.

BTW, did you know last election, G.W. Bush got more votes than any Presidential candidate in American History??? But that's OK, keep calling Bush a moron and read the polls. Won't change reality one bit.

As I always seem forced to point out, Bush did win by the greatest number of votes, but also by the narrowest margin in history.

Ahh. But you also miss the point, my good friend. Last election we were told that the American people were "fed up"..."ready for change"...."sick of this administration"etc...etc. Polls showed J. Kerry leading all the way up to the election. Yet the GOP managed to turn out more than 62 million voters. :hmm:

I hadn't realized my posting quotes of things Bush has actually said was somehow calling him a moron. In any case, here's another funny one for ya:

"That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental—supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."—Erie, Pa., Sept. 4, 2004

Happy Times 04-20-06 04:22 AM

Is he dyslexic? Does he read these from a teleprompter? Something ive wondered many times. Id rather see Bush as your president, though he has been a little soft in the ME :lol: But he is better than some ex hippie, pothead, pasifist. The problem with the two party system is that all kind of freeks can "hide" inside the partys. :hmm:

mapuc 04-20-06 08:35 AM

I personally think your president is doing a fine job, But I think he or should I say they have made some mistakes when it comes to Irak.

His general did a great job, planning for the war, but they forgot the peace

have a question that I gonna ask in a new posting

I don't know about dyslexic but he does read from a teleprompter, which has to be positioned in such a way that it doesn't block the many cameras recording him. Maybe he has trouble reading from it due to glare or distance - I have no idea. At any rate, Americans have gotten used to a certain image standard when it comes to the presidency. There's so much energy put into making things look good - Nixon looked bad on TV; Reagan redefined the role of the president as a showman; Clinton was probably the most charismatic dude since Reagan (and for some people, moreso).

I think that's partly why Bush's mistakes earn him so much criticism. Sometimes it seems like he runs into trouble when he strays away from what's on the 'promp and decides to say something in his own words. He either fumbles or loses his place. Almost all presidential speeches are written by professional speechwriters, and choreographed to the umpteenth degree. It's like a Superbowl halftime show, so you can imagine what it's like when he opens his mouth and out flies a "wardrobe malfunction."

I assume you mean that the closest he's come to combat was wrestling the family dog. Heck, I'm no warrior but, unlike W., at least I can say that someone has shot at me in anger.

Yeah. It just goes to show that there are at least 62 million people in the US who can challenge Bush to a moron contest.

No he's been in combat... with a cedar tree:

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself—not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."—After visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006
