"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean,

That one always has me twisting in painful laughter. Along with:
"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." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
...and a whole host of other quotes. Can't believe the formidable
plethora of timeless idiotic statements this man brought upon the world.
It really is quite sad.
HA! HA! HA! HA! I've never heard this one before:
"People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other
than, like, a few people? Of course I do." --George W. Bush,

The more I learn about him, the harder it is to believe that he was made president. What is it with the Republicans? Were they serious when they made him president.?I don't get it.

full of insight and wisdom, and then there are those that stand the test of
time for being... well, suffice it to say: now that the fool can't directly harm
the world any more, it's comforting to know his comedic lack of verbal skills
will live on forever, yeah?

Who is smarter, Kerry or Bush?
Richard Benedetto
"When Bush's grades were first made public in 1999, he was then the Texas governor and Republican front-runner for the 2000 presidential nomination. Vice President Al Gore was his likely Democratic opponent. Bush's mediocre college record was trumpeted by Gore backers as proof that the Republican candidate was a dummy. But in the spring of 2000, The Washington Post published Gore's college grades at Harvard. Like Kerry, he was hardly an honor student, either.
Nonetheless, Gore backers kept up the "dumb Bush" mantra. Gore himself tried to lend the impression during his first debate with Bush that he was the smart one, often sighing and shaking his head in disdain when Bush answered questions. Post-debate polling suggested that the strategy might have backfired. Many of those surveyed said Gore came off as too arrogant.
Some analysts consider that the turning point in the election. Going into the debates, Gore was ahead in the polls. After the debates, Bush, who polls showed came off as more human and more likable, opened a slight lead.
But Kerry strategists and backers never seemed to pay much heed to that lesson of the past. They plunged headlong into painting Bush as the dummy and Kerry as the genius.
Kerry himself apparently believed it. In April 2004, he was quoted in Newsweek as saying, "I can't believe I am losing to this idiot." The widely published remark was made in an aside to aides while watching a Bush news conference.
That theme carried over after Kerry lost. Many of his backers publicly attributed Bush's victory to a dumb electorate. During the campaign, his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, underscored that feeling while promoting Kerry's health care plan.
"Only an idiot wouldn't like this," she told the Intelligencer Journal in Lancaster, Pa.
Kerry's grades were made public this past week by the Boston Globe, which found them in his U.S. Navy officer training school application. During the campaign, Kerry refused to waive privacy restrictions for the full file, but gave the Navy permission to release the documents last month, the Globe reported.
The transcript showed that he got four Ds in his freshman year, Bush received one D in his four years, in astronomy. At the time, Yale considered grades between 70 and 79 a C and 60 to 69 a D.
