Talk:Bushisms

Quote # 4 is from Quayle, I am fairly certain. But who the fuck cares, since they are both silly neocons that bitch underneath the trembling wrath of a president that later wrote a book on why invading Iraq would be moronic. But whatever.


 * Not a bushism but ....


 * Quote of the week:


 * "Learn from the experts. The George Bush School of Government Certificate in Advanced International Affairs."

- Ad spotted on the Washington Post's website

Damn! I used to have a whole calendar full of these things. Now, when it's becoming funny again towards the end, I can't find it! ... 11:40, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Question...
Should all of these be real, or can I add "I should run for president"? -- Gen. S.T. Shrink  *Get to the bunker*  01:28, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Request to epxand section
Since Bush is out of the white house, I am suggesting we expand this section (War on Language) on the following manner: Any ideas on this? Thieh 00:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * War on grammar in the realm of CP (or other places like ASK)

 * To me, bushisms are a unique snapshot in history, and deserve their own page, even though the culprit has been finally beheaded umm impeached or rather voted out of office, that is, replaced. -- 00:48, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with WFG. Also, K6478345, you are engaging in your own version of a war on English on this wiki, seriously, a compendium of most of your edits would be hilarious.  Perhaps leave the English stuff to us and stick to being smart?  05:05, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
