While this is not a political blog of any sort, it is a blog about fail. Who better to exemplify the ideals and accomplishments of “fail” than President George W. Bush? Instead of tossing out insults or posting silly pictures of the silly President, we will post to commemorate the first day of the last 6 months of the Bush debacle with 16 of our favorite “Quotes of Fail”. Enjoy, even though, sadly, none of this is funny at all.
- “I am here to make an announcement that this Thursday, ticket counters and airplanes will fly out of Ronald Reagan Airport.”
- “And one thing we want during this war on terror is for people to feel like their life’s moving on, that they’re able to make a living and send their kids to college and put more money on the table.”
- “Our nation must come together to unite.“
- “My plan reduces the national debt, and fast. So fast, in fact, that economists worry that we’re going to run out of debt to retire.”
- “Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.”
- “More than two decades later, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary War coming out any other way.”
- “The solution to Iraq — an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself — is more than a military mission. Precisely the reason why I sent more troops into Baghdad.”
- “Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.”
- “I think it was in the Rose Garden where I issued this brilliant statement: If I had a magic wand — but the president doesn’t have a magic wand. You just can’t say, ‘low gas.’”
- “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.”
- “I will not withdraw, even if Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting me.”
- “I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.”
- “Iraq is a very important part of securing the homeland, and it’s a very important part of helping change the Middle East into a part of the world that will not serve as a threat to the civilized world, to people like — or to the developed world, to people like — in the United States.”
- “I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun.“
- “Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.“
- “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on –shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Today, with 6 months left until Bush vacates the White house, we can look back with a chuckle and a tear. The chuckle is for the boneheaded things he has said. The tear is for the boneheaded things he has done.
Bush. Fail.
