Bushy Bush Be-Gone!


Bush has 2 weeks left as our Commander in Chief. In light of the change that will soon be here I thought I'd share w/ you a few of the more humorous things I've heard/read Bush say in his 8 years as our President. B/c lets face it I'm pretty sure Obama will not be nearly as entertaining in his speeches.

Also, I'm not posting these to get into political banter. I'm posting this for pure entertainment joy.

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." — September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.

"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" — January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.

"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." — Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.

"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." — Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.

"Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." — Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.

"It was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship. After all, 60 years we were at war 60 years ago we were at war." — June 29, 2006, at the White House, where Bush met with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

"Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die." — Dec. 7, 2006, in a joint appearance with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"These are big achievements for this country, and the people of Bulgaria ought to be proud of the achievements that they have achieved." — June 11, 2007, in Sofia, Bulgaria.

"Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House.

"The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place." — May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.

"Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people." — July 4, 2008 in Virginia.

"This thaw — took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw." Oct. 20, 2008, in Alexandria, La., as he discussed the economy and frozen credit markets.

Great holy geez, he's got some doozies. Anyone else got any good ones out there? I found these from Yahoo but I know there's got to be several more.

God help me, I think I'm gonna miss him. :)

I'm going to miss Bush as much as I miss my genital wart baring roommate wearing my underware.

I wish I was kidding.

HAHA!! Every time I hear him talk I hope and pray he will finally just stop dead in his tracks and admit he has no clue what he is doing.

For sure this is not going to be a sad goodbye.

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

Lol! I think I'm at a point where I can laugh about that, now. I need to make one of those quotes part of the "Himbolicious Quote" series on my blog.
