"Is our children learning?" and other "Bushisms"

These are some quotes from President George W. Bush that have become commonly known as "Bushisms."

  • The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case.
  • I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is misunderestimating.
  • Actually, I this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I'm talking about when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me.
  • Dick Cheney and I do not want this nation to be in a recession. We want anybody who can find work to be able to find work.
  • The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants.
  • Rarely is the question asked, . . . is our children learning?
  • Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
  • First, I recognize we live in a momentous time. For those of you watching, we seem to have a mechanical flaw.
  • That makes sense to me, doesn't it?
  • The United States and China are two nations divided by a vast ocean.
  • We have a big border between Texas and Mexico.
  • The primary component of gasoline is crude oil.
  • You can't read a newspaper if you can't read.
  • I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed.
  • One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards.
  • As you know, my position is clear – I’m the commander guy.

    A Coattail With Handles

    Greetings Listers!

    Do you hate it when people ride the coattails of others? I do! Or should I say, I did. After I started thinking about it, I realized that everyone is always saying life is all about the associations you create with others. So where do you draw the line between mooching and networking?

    • Hillary Clinton didn’t sever ties with Bill (despite his ability to have sex without having “sex”).
    • George W. Bush didn’t change his last name and burn all his birth certificates.
    • Paris Hilton would have nothing if the Hilton Paris was never built.
    • Kobe Bryant rode Shaq’s extra-long coattails to three NBA Championships.
    • And Ben Affleck held on to Matt Damon’s hand as long as he possibly could.

    So, as always, the real question is, how do you feel? Have you gotten where you are today by shoveling your own coal, digging your own ditches, and weeding your own garden? Or did your mom do your homework for you, your dad give you a summer job, joined a fraternity or sorority in college, and now work for your smarter, better-looking best-friend? Hey, I’m not ragging on it, if my best-friend from high school became a successful movie star in Hollywood you better believe I’d be out there swimming in his mansion’s pool and drinking his Bud Light. But just because your last name is Williams, Jones, Miller or Smith doesn’t mean you can the next anchor on NBC’s Nightly News, an adventurous archaeologist in a temple of doom, start your own beer brewing company, or flash your blonde hair and oversized bosoms and get a ring from a rich old oil tycoon.
