Bush says we have too much justice
Leno played video of part of this clip, the part in bold, and it got a big laugh.

It's one thing to have justice; it's another thing to go overboard with justice, because people start to lose work.

3. Too much justice? When Robert Novak is free to walk the streets?
That is too funny; we mustn't let that one die out!

5. Sometimes "gaffes" are a window to the soul.
Kinda like his John 16:3 comment. I just wanna know why the media doesn't bludgeon him about this more often. Lord knows if Kerry said that we'd never hear the end of it.

11. The 16:3 Thing
Was the first Bush, not the second, according to Cal Thomas.

6. That's like a neocon claiming to have too much money.

8. Democracy is Bush*s biggest problem
The ability to exploit people is impaired by too much justice. One of his famous quotes goes something like this. Things would be a lot easier if this were a dictatorship.

9. Barak Obama's convention speech is the antithesis of this sentiment.
