What do you think is the most embarassing Bush sound byte ever?

[SammyBlue]

It can be something stupid or scary!

My vote is:

"We have to make the pie higher!"

[LEW]

1. I have to pick one!!!!

He's an embarrassment every day.

[LisaM]

44. The one where he was asked to define sovereignty

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

[babylonsister]

2. One is, "You're doin' a heckuva job, Brownie." So many

to choose from though!

[Carla in Ca]

80. I saw this article earlier

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.

this country."

This is the same speech where he says "See, we're challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations."

:(

[Pam-Moby]

7. This one has my vote

OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women

[CottonBear]

9. It creeps me out to think of OB-GYNs practicing their love with women.

:(

[Lisa]

36. no kidding. One doctor in my town lost his license for that ...

Turned out he'd been "practicing his love" on a whole bunch of his female patients. Creepy, indeed.

[Blue_In_AK]

52. We had one of those here, too...

He got some serious time for it.

[Pam-Moby]

82. Me too...argggg

[hlthe2b]

13. that one has my vote too... it not only shows Bush* stupidity...

but gives a very disgusting view on his perverted way of thinking.

[CottonBear]

22. He is perverted. Yuck. I need to bleach my brain now. n/t

[journalist3072]

55. That one has my vote too!

What the hell was he thinking?

That's right--he doesn't think!

[No Exit]

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".

[LiberalAndProud]

81. Yup. that's the one.

[GrumpyGreg]

4. "Nucular" will always be my favorite---kinda like the gift that keeps

on giving.

Neverending pleasure-(and laughs).

[skordane]

5. Brownie

"Brownie, Your doing a heck of a job"

10. I saw that speech on CSPAN. It was beyond stupid.

The looks on the faces of the journalists in the audience and on the panel had to been seen to be believed. They were stunned AND disgusted at the same time.

[SammyBlue]

11. Yes. . .this one was just painful to listen too. Painful!!! eom

[liveoaktx]

8. our enemies........

....never stop thinking of ways to harm our citizens and neither do we!

[Mme. Defarge]

70. Got my vote!

[NI4NI]

72. Our enemies is the one

not only the stupidest, but actually a fact

[tulsakatz]

75. of all the stupid things he's said..........

.......and there have been plenty....that one has always stuck in my mind.....it's what you call a freudian slip.

[Catrina]

83. One of my favorites, thanks for posting it

I was just about to post it actually!! If you really listen to him, he tells the truth many times if it is unintentionally!

I also love 'Is our children learning'?

[aquamarina]

12. Fool me once... uh, uh, uh

can't get fooled again.

It still creeps me out.

[Roon]

I was going to post this one if no one else did

It creeps me out too, I was only able to watch it once and I can't bear to watch it again.

[Blue_In_AK]

54. That one is my favorite...

It cracks me up every time I see it.

[KansDem]

14. "Bring it on...!!!"

I think prodding enemies to attack our troops is reprehensible. He should have impeached on that alone. This isn't some after-school slugfest...

[Gabi Hayes]

117 clips here.....have fun....take your time

[Dees]

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.

[CottonBear]

15. We may not be able to narrow this down to just one scary or stupid quote.

I doubt that any other president has been so intellectually and verbally challenged.

[tocqueville]

19. I refuse to be sucked into your hypnotheoretical arguments nt

[CottonBear]

23. Did he really say that? He did, didn't he? :( n/t

31. "The problem with the French is, they have no word for entrepreneur."

Just for you: a reference to the French language! ;)

[Demit]

34. I think maybe that one is a maker-upper. SO believable, though.

[RagingInMiami]

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.

The Brazilian football team which is 90% black.

Of course his follow up about Brazil was when asked what he thought of Brazil, he said "It's big"

That quote says so much about him.

[tocqueville]

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!

[kliljedahl]

61. There's a song in there somewhere

[Frustratedlady]

18. Boy, that's a hard one...

"I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity."

or, "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." or,

"We've got an issue in America. 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."

Sorry, but there are way too many to pick from and I'm ROTFLMHO while trying to narrow it down to one.

[...of J.Temperance]

35. What EXACTLY does "I am the pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity" mean?

Eh?

[Frustratedlady]

43. Darned if I know....

unless he was referring to his determination to succeed, which only brings up another guffaw, as he hasn't succeeded at anything he's done, YET.

[...of J.Temperance]

45. The only thing that Junior's ever succeeded in is in

Destroying EVERYTHING that he's ever gotten involved with...be it businesses, the lives of people, entire countries.

He's only successful at destroying things...he's a destroyer. He's a one-man wrecking crew.

[walldude]

66. So basically he's a success at total failure. hehe n/t

[...of J.Temperance]

77. Yes, in BushWorld success is failure!! n/t

[KyuzoGator]

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.

[CottonBear]

28. The last sentence about waging and preventing war makes no sense at all.

:( 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.)

"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."

[annabanana]

21. 'they never stop thinking of ways to hurt this country..

and neither do we"

one of the few times he spoke the truth and it was by mistake

[...of J.Temperance]

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.

41. His first sqeak to announce his arrival on the

planet. The fudding devil was born.

[stanwyck]

46. the entire Katrina photo op.

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.

[WI_DEM]

47. "I do solemnly swear..."

[rzemanfl]

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.
