September's Bushisms

Recommended Posts

"I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. It's pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 23, 2004

"I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 23, 2004

"The CIA laid out several scenarios and said life could be lousy, life could be OK, life could be better, and they were just guessing as to what the conditions might be like." —George W. Bush, New York City, Sept. 21, 2004

"Free societies are hopeful societies. And free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 17, 2004

"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." —George W. Bush, Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004

"We will make sure our troops have all that is necessary to complete their missions. That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental — supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel." —George W. Bush, Erie, Pa., Sept. 4, 2004

A sad commentary of the quality of an education from Yale or Harvard.

Question: has any other POTUS ever been so openly mocked with respect to his intelligence and competence?

Stand-up/SNL fodder off the top of my head
Clinton: Lewinsky, awkward daughter, McDonalds
Bush Sr.: "Read my lips","Thousand Points of Light"
Reagan: can't remember anything, former actor

We've had plenty of womanizers, drunks, and crooks, which are all bad things, but have any of them had their very intelligence called into question?

Just curious.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

And? Why? Examples, por favor.



Stupid, hick, slow talking, peanut farmer.

I kinda liked the guy, but that was the joke.

He has since gotten a little crazy, but during his administration I respected the guy.

Ah. I remember him being president and being very impressed with that, but not much else about him.

Nothing wrong with talking slowly. I think more people, myself included, should try that sometimes.

"Think before I spout off? Absurd!"

I don't believe we've had one this stupid since Harding.

I'm used to disagreeing with my presidents. I'm more than a little worried when I'm smarter than my president. :(

but if you remember some of the BEST Reagan skits had him as a bumbling incompetent publicly and evil genius as soon as the cameras were off...

At least they parodied him as a genius... [:/]

Did that start when he entered office, or later? I really don't remember what the public sentiment was when he was in office - was his intellect regularly doubted?
