and he bumbled so badly the audience started laughing (he said something along the lines of "to be sovereign means you have sovereignty...")

It won an award, one of many he could win for being a stupid man, right?

<http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051229/pl_nm/life_bush_dc>

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Call it the wrong phrase at the wrong time but "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" was named on Thursday as U.S. President George W. Bush's most memorable phrase of 2005.

The ill-timed praise of a now disgraced agency head became a national punch line for countless jokes and pointed comments about the administration's handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and added to the president's reputation for verbal gaffes and clumsy turns of phrase.

Paul JJ Payack, president of Global Language Monitor, a nonprofit group that monitors language use, says Bush's statement in support of the then-director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency may be remembered for years to come

more.

74. I vote for this one!!!!
I had trouble believing that was what he'd actually said.

Then I remembered how these fundamentalists (which he claims to be... though we know his only true god is profit) use the word "love" in really funny ways. Example: years ago, Alabama had a repuke governor named Guy Hunt, who was also a primitive Baptist preacher. He got in trouble for taking illicit money. His idiot supporters explained that it was usual for such preachers to be handed money; it was called "love gifts".

42. "practice their love" and "can't get fooled again"
We got an issue in America. Too many good docs are gettin' out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their -- their love with women all across this country.

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. You fool me, you can't get fooled again.

51. He said that !?
The Origin & Meaning of the Word Entrepreneur:

The word entrepreneur comes from the 13th century French verb entreprendre, meaning “to do something” or “to undertake.” By the 16th century, the noun entrepreneur, had emerged to refer to someone who undertakes a business venture. The first academic usage of the term was by economist Richard Cantillon in 1730. For Cantillion, the bearing of risk – engaging in business without an assurance of the profits that will be derived – is the distinguishing feature of an entrepreneur.

The term entrepreneur was further popularized by economist Jean Baptiste Say, who in the early 1800s, used the term to refer to individuals who create value in an economy by moving resources out of areas of low productivity and into areas of higher productivity and greater yield. In 1848, economist John Stuart Mill used the term in his very popular book, Principles of Political Economy. To Mill, the distinguishing feature of an entrepreneur was that they assume both the risk and the management of a business. This is in contrast to a “capitalist” who might own an enterprise (and thus assume the risk) but generally doesn’t partake in its day-to-day operations or management.

17. Make the Pie Higher
Make the Pie Higher

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!

20. From one of the 2000 debates:
MODERATOR: New question. How would you go about as president deciding when it was in the national interest to use U.S. force, generally?

BUSH: Well, if it's in our vital national interest, and that means whether our territory is threatened or people could be harmed, whether or not the alliances are -- our defense alliances are threatened, whether or not our friends in the Middle East are threatened. That would be a time to seriously consider the use of force. Secondly, whether or not the mission was clear. Whether or not it was a clear understanding as to what the mission would be. Thirdly, whether or not we were prepared and trained to win. Whether or not our forces were of high morale and high standing and well-equipped. And finally, whether or not there was an exit strategy. I would take the use of force very seriously. I would be guarded in my approach. I don't think we can be all things to all people in the world. I think we've got to be very careful when we commit our troops. The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation building. I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders. I believe the role of the military is to fight and win war and therefore prevent war from happening in the first place. So I would take my responsibility seriously. And it starts with making sure we rebuild our military power. Morale in today's military is too low. We're having trouble meeting recruiting goals. We met the goals this year, but in the previous years we have not met recruiting goals. Some of our troops are not well-equipped. I believe we're overextended in too many places. And therefore I want to rebuild the military power. It starts with a billion dollar pay raise for the men and women who wear the uniform. A billion dollars more than the president recently signed into law. It's to make sure our troops are well-housed and well-equipped. Bonus plans to keep some of our high-skilled folks in the services and a commander in chief that sets the mission to fight and win war and prevent war from happening in the first place.

Edited on Thu Dec-29-05 05:12 PM by CottonBear
:( Notice that he'a already referring to himself as commander in chief and he's just itching to go to war ASAP and he hasn't even been selected yet. :scared: (It's not really even a proper sentence.)

24. Oh heck, there's so many (link to a favorite website included)
"The problem with the French is, they have no word for entrepreneur."

"I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep on the soil of a friend."

"I understand small business growth, I was one."

"We have overcome a recession. That means things are going backwards."

"We can help somebody who hurts by hugging a neighbor in need."

"Most of our imports come from overseas."

"If America goes to sleep, the rest of the world is in trouble. If we blink, the rest of the world will close their eyes. So we're not blinking and we're not going to sleep."

This website I love, it's full of Junior's moronic babbling...fuck he is SO stupid, it'd be hilarious if he wasn't so dangerous and batshit crazy.

The quotes are sectioned into topic categories.

when he, finally, got to Louisiana. His smirky demeanor while people were, literally, dying all around him was beyond shocking. It was worse than his 7 minutes disconnect.
He joked about "having too much fun" in New Orleans with "hurricanes". And he ended his folksy, jokesy performance with a vow to rebuild millionaire Trent Lott's house.
Meanwhile, babies and the elderly were dying of dehydration. Families were on rooftops hoping for rescue.
And the president of our country was cracking jokes about his dissolute youth.
How anyone can defend him after viewing that video is incomprehensible.
The man just isn't right. He has no genuine empathy. Unless it's scripted for him, it's not there.
I sincerely believe he has severe psychological problems.

48. When he called the people responsible for 9/11 "folks" like they
had keyed a car or something. This was on 9/11 when he was in hiding somewhere.

58. My favorite, someone explain it to me please
"Because the—all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those—changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be—or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the—like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate—the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those—if that growth is affected, it will help on the red."—Explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

65. That's tough.. so many choices.. Food on Family is tops though
I bust a gut when I heard that one. A semi-intelligent person would have to REALLY TRY to screw "put food on the table for your family" up that badly.
