Not since former Vice President Dan Quayle has a top politician made so many misstatements in this country. Yesterday GW Bush stuck his large foot in his bigger mouth when he said this about the Queen of England.“Queen Elizabeth II helped the United States celebrate its bicentennial in 17, uh, I mean, 1976.”
This actually doesn’t seem so bad when compared to some of the other dumb things GW has said during his presidency. Here are some of my personal favorites:
“We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile.”
When asked when a woman first starts to show her pregnancy, Bush replied, “Uh, I don’t know, August?”
“My (critics) misunderestimated me.”
“Fool me once – shame on, shame on you. Fool me twice – you can’t get fooled again.”
“The illiteracy level of or children are appalling. At least that’s what Dick said he read somewhere.”
“(Our enemies) never stop thinking of new ways to harm our country and our people. And neither do we.”
“Too many OB/GYN’s aren’t permitted to their love with women all over this country.”
“It was not always a given that the United States and America would have a good relationship.”
