We're making progress! It used to be that we were too compassionate.

Brilliant. Fucking brilliant. The Iraqian soldiers behaved so badly, that the American soldiers had to behave even worse!

It's good to see that you don't have to have more than 10,5% IQ to join the army.

Goodgawdalmighty, that made me choke and laugh. I'm still trying to take it in, I mean the fact that he said it, that it came from the depths (or surface) of his mind. I don't think I'll work on the content though.

The depth of his mind - all 0,8" of it!

I didn't mean to make you choke.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, though, because these are so easy to Google that I felt a little ashamed of myself for posting it. Just type "Bushisms" and you'll find more sites devoted to our boy than Dan Quayle ever dreamed of. The sites were stale until recently. Then the spring crop matured enough for harvest, and the roadside stands are overflowing with fresh, vine-ripened Bushisms...I don't want to be greedy. I'll just post this juicy morsel and let somebody else post the rest.

Oh, right. Blame me.

I couldn't resist this one. Swallow your coffee first, okay?

Stop me!

These Bushisms are salted pistachio nuts. I can't stop at one, even though a fistful of them will make me sick.

Perdita, get into crash position for this one.

"The march to war affected the people's confidence. It's hard to make investment. See, if you're a small business owner or a large business owner and you're thinking about investing, you've got to be optimistic when you invest. Except when you're marching to war, it's not a very optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war."

—George W. Bush, Springfield, Mo., Feb. 9, 2004 (Thanks to Garry Trudeau.)

Sher, thanks for the warnings, and the really big laughs. I'm really speechless. P.

"The best way to find these terrorists who hide in holes is to get people coming forth to describe the location of the hole, is to give clues and data."

I have given up wondering how this putz became president. Obviously, I don't understand politics on that level.

But, tell me, would you trust this man to collect your garbage?

Yes, I would. With absolute confidence.

To collect it? Yes.
To describe the process of collecting it? No

[Guest]

To collect it? Yes.

And also delivering it to the right dump?

Let's not go too overboard here, shall we?

If someone can’t find their way from the subject through the verb to the sentence’s object, then I won’t trust them to find their way from the garbage can to the back of the truck to dump the garbage.

They would be just as likely to dump the garbage into some parked car’s window.

What about Rush Limbaugh's piece about the Abu Ghraib guards just "blowing off steam"? It was after he described the abuse as no more than "hazing".

Dr. M. - Here are a couple more Rush quotes I found.

Our armed forces shouldn’t be over there - they’re good at killing people and blowing things up, not peace-keeping.
--Rush Limbaugh on Clinton’s deployment of troops to Bosnia.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.
