Some Bushisms...

"But the true strength of America is found in the hearts and souls of people like Travis, people who are willing to love their neighbor, just like they would like to love themselves."—Springfield, Mo., Feb. 9, 2004 (Thanks to George Dupper.)

"My views are one that speaks to freedom."—Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2004

"In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences."

"There is no such thing necessarily in a dictatorial regime of iron-clad absolutely solid evidence. The evidence I had was the best possible evidence that he had a weapon."

"The recession started upon my arrival. t could have been—some say February, some say March, some speculate maybe earlier it started—but nevertheless, it happened as we showed up here. The attacks on our country affected our economy. Corporate scandals affected the confidence of people and therefore affected the economy. My decision on Iraq, this kind of march to war, affected the economy."—Meet the Press, Feb. 8, 2004

"I was a prisoner too, but for bad reasons."—To Argentine President Nestor Kirchner, on being told that all but one of the Argentine delegates to a summit meeting were imprisoned during the military dictatorship, Monterrey, Mexico, Jan. 13, 2004

"he illiteracy level of our children are appalling."—Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004 (Thanks to Lewell Gunter.)

I used to think he was stupid, but now i am leaning towards evil genius...

by the way, how many posts do you have to reply to before making one of your own?

try in ask the adminstrators forum or dumail the boss (skinner)

I just kinda waited till I got a feel of the place. Maybe about 40 or so. BTW, welcome to DU taxidriver! :toast:

A very, very bad combination.

I would be willing to bet that he hasn't read 1% of the papers that have come across his desk in the last 40 months. Stupid is hard to define or discern - ignorant is not. He would have a hard time answering ANY policy question on any subject - the economy, world affairs, defense, unemployment, health care, the environment. This is ignorance, not stupidity.

Its a quick study, math with the linguistics. See if you can understand the equation

"In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences."

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

Just pure unabashed evil. chaotic evil.

chaotic evil is a nice term from my Dungeons & Dragons days... however, I don't think chaotic would describe his regime.

A silver spoon dullard with puppeteers calling every shot. He's as dumb as a post, and i think his words, actions, and history prove it.
The Professor

I just think he is fantastically lazy and incapable of focusing on more than 1 thing at a time.

If he did not have family connections, he would have gone to the University of Connecticut or Central Connecticut State instead of Yale and would likely be a faceless low level manager in a big corporation.
