Bush quotes most notable of 2006 expert says
Bush quotes most notable of 2006 expert says

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - President Bush scored high Thursday on a list he may not be keen to top.

Three of Bush's quotes, led by his "I'm the Decider" remark in April, head 2006's most notable quotations compiled by Fred R. Shapiro, editor of the Yale Book of Quotations.

Bush's comment that "I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense" is followed by his State of the Union address quote that "America is addicted to oil" and by his comment on Hurricane Katrina to high school students in New Orleans: "I take full responsibility for the federal government's response."

The "decider" quote was also named "Bushism" of the year by the Global Language Monitor, which issues a list of best George Bush quotes each year. The monitor's Paul JJ Payack said No. 2 on that list was "I use The Google."

snip...
Right-wing polemicist Ann Coulter made the list for her attack on the widows of men who died in the World Trade Center on September 11:

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husbands' death so much."

2. "I Use The Google" is my personal favorite...
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm heading to The Starbucks to pick up a black tea lemonade.
