Bushisms

Ahhh, the days of the Bush administration are blissfully numbered. And already the nostalgia begins! The Associated Press released a list of their favorite Bushims over the years, which you can find right here.

Excerpted verbatim below from the AP article, are five of my personal favorites:

Bush on Foolishness:
• "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.

Bush on Gynecology:
• "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.

Bush on, Like, Total Awesomeness:
• "Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House.

Bush on Success:
• "There's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail." — Oct. 4, 2001, in Washington. Bush was remarking on a back-to-work plan after the terrorist attacks.

Bush on That Magical Place Where Jobs Come From:
• "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.
