Who Said This?

Hint: They're all from the same person.

That's the great thing about our society, is that we expect our individual citizens to be involved and you can reach your own conclusion you want to reach.
....

You know, a trucker, if he's interested in moving through Northwest Arkansas in expedition [sic] fashion will pay a little extra money to be able to do so.
....

One of these days we're going to be able to make ethanol out of wood chips or switchgrass. It's called cellulostic [sic] ethanol.
....

I'm -- I marvel -- isn't it interesting, by the way, it's the first military question -- just an observation point -- I marvel at our military, and I marvel at the kids who -- in the military. Not only kids, but -- at 62 you can call them "kids" -- 61 you can call them "kids."
....

It's one thing if the enemy couldn't hit us here at home, we could just let them -- let the world run its course; just let everything happen that's meant -- that it may be meant to happen, you know, just let it go.
....

Sometimes international bodies are non-consequential. In other words, they're good talking, but there's not a consequence.
....

Kyoto I thought was bad policy, because Kyoto would have basically -- basically would have said that we would have had to ground our economy down in order to achieve -- maybe achieve some positive changes in greenhouse gases.
....

Secondly, I believe government ought to incent people to go -- to be able to have available -- ought to incent -- ought to change the system to make sure an individual can get into the marketplace and be able to better afford private insurance.


After listening to the above statements, there are people, real people who ask "questions" like this:

Q But I also want to say, thank you very much for being my President for the last seven years.
....

Q After all of the presidential hopefuls had paraded through for three days before you got there, and you gave your wonderful speech, the straw poll throughout the entire room, sir, was that we wish you could run for another four years.


Thanks to Holden at First Draft for doing the hard work.

  2. How could anyone have voted for him the first time?!!!!

    You are assuming anyone did... ;-)

    And yet, I still know people who insist that he's a great president doing a great job. There are none so blind...

  3. Sometimes I despair of the American people.

  4. Grandmère, if you only despair of the American people sometimes (as opposed to, say, daily), then you are, as I have long suspected, a woman of great faith.

  6. DP, Bingo!

    I hope you're not having to do this:

    From the AP via the Times-Picayune:

    LONDON - A shortage of National Health Service dentists in England has led some people to pull out their own teeth or use super glue to stick crowns back on, a study says.

  7. I still think that he's at his best dealing with medical matters - the infamous "emergency rooms" Marie Antoinette moment and, of course - still my personal favorite - his famous comment condemning the spiraling costs of medical malpractice insurance, "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country".

  8. Wrong DP....Mickey Mouse is smarter than he is!

  9. Fool doesn't even know how old he is.

  10. Lapin, we can't forget the OB-GYN love.

    Caminante, his getting his age wrong cracked me up, too.

    It must be embarrassing for the folks who load this crap on the White House website.

    And yes, Mickey Mouse is smarter.

    Speaking of medical care, I went to the doctor's office today. My appointment was for 10:30. I was 10 or 15 minutes late, but I didn't see the doctor until 11:50. And we're afraid of socialized medicine?

  11. Grumble. I was at the gym this morning and on the treadmill when he was on tv.

    I am perpetually annoyed by his inability to speak English for starters... saying things like "bad" when he should have said "badly". (My example if I were the English teacher would be which one is right: "The president is behaving bad." or "The president is behaving badly.")

    And can he not actually say "them" but has to say "'em". He doesn't work down at the fillin' station with JoeBob and the rest o' 'em.
    (No offense to JoeBob, the fillin' station or any of 'em!)

    This was astounding to read. I have the vapors now.

  12. Franiam, his public persona is based on denying that he is what he in fact is - a Phillips Andover/Yale/Harvard (still amazing to look at him and realize that this is the case, isn't it?) New England Wasp - third generation in the Senate and above. That background but coming on as a Texas GOB has to result in some sort of disfunction.

    "Nucular" still gets me - particularly coming from the guy whose thumb is on the button but can't even pronounce the damned thing. Heard Condi Rice say "nucular" on television a few months back. Talk about kissing up!

    Am I still in the doghouse for calling you a "Librarian", Mimi?

  13. Regarding, Bush, I have my suspicions that there is something not quite right with him. I know that he can switch to the serious Texas drawl at will, but I don't know that he has the ability to speak literate English any longer, unless he has a written text before him.

    I don't think it's only that he wants to show off the old boy Texas persona any more. I think he is just plain incoherent.

    Lapin, you are forgiven. Jesus says I must.
