Being able to laugh at yourself is a rare quality in a leader. It's one thing George W. Bush can do that Bill Clinton couldn't. Unfortunately, as we bid farewell to Bushisms, we must conclude that the joke was mainly on us.

Hehe, true.

George Bush is being giving his daily briefing. He is told that yesterday three Brazilian soldiers were killed.

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sit stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally he looks up with a devastated expression on his face and he asks, "How many is a brazillion?'

Letum 01-14-09 01:43 PM

You missed the one about peaceful fish.

*edit* Also:

"If you don't stand for anything, you don't stand for anything! If you don't stand for something, you don't stand for anything!"
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."
"It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas."
"I'm gonna talk about the ideal world, Chris. I've read — I understand reality. If you're asking me as the president, would I understand reality, I do."
"The fact that he relies on facts — says things that are not factual — are going to undermine his campaign."

And my favorite:
"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific."

Nah, I'm not bashing him, he said those things and even he would admit, they are funny. ;)

I tend to sympathize with the President, I also have a habit of thinking ahead or on different tracks while I speaking and getting mixed up. :doh:
