Bush League

Over at Slate, Jacob Weisberg provides the "Bushism Of The Day".

Now we've all seen samples and forwarded emails of Dubya's "accidental wit and wisdom". But some of these quotes are just priceless. I mean, this guy's the most powerful person on the planet. "Leader of the free world". Gawd.

This one slays me:
"There's an old saying in TennesseeóI know it's in Texas, probably in Tennesseeóthat says, fool me once, shame onóshame on you. Fool meóyou can't get fooled again."óNashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

And then there's this gem:
"I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to beóa literate country and a hopefuller country."óWashington, D.C., Jan. 11, 2001

Sure, maybe Clinton couldn't keep it in his pants, but at least he had something between his ears.
