Football season!
So far, Bush has done pretty well with keeping his nose clean and staying out of trouble (of course, since he would be compared to clinton, it is pretty easy for him to look clean), but you just gotta love (and wonder) about all of these "Bushisms".. We all know he is not a very good public speaker, so he needs to do something to keep the embrassing moments to a minimum.. But, since it is America, we can laugh and enjoy his comments without a threat of being killed..
The one I love the most: "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
And I know politicians have come up with some pretty interesting one-liners all through history..
"I cook occasionally just to see how easy a woman's work is." --Tip O'Neill, rep from Massachusetts
"The only way we'll ever get a volunteer army is to draft 'em." --F. Edward Hebert, rep from Louisiana
"The first Black president will be a politician who is Black." --Doug Wilder, gov of Virginia
"There ought to be limits to freedom." --George W. Bush, gov of Texas, upon unsuccessfully filing a lawsuit to shut down a parody website.
"Wait a minute. I'm not interested in agriculture. I want the military stuff." --William Scott, senator from Virginia, during a DoD lesson on missile silos
and of course the ultimate pot-kettle statement:
"Part of growing up is learning how to control one's impulses." --Hillary Clinton, introducing Bill at a gun-control fundraiser
That one still has me cracking up.
