Ladies and Gentlemen, you have to read the whole thing, to get the point:
“My only point to you is, is that we’re in constant contact with people on the ground to help make sure that we save lives. Now that the water is beginning to recede, the question is, how do we help with the recovery? And Secretary Chertoff briefed me on plans, particularly when it comes to housing. A lot of people are going to be wondering, is there short-term help for housing? And there is, and we’ll provide that help.
Secondly, what’s going to happen in the long term to the homes? And so Michael is going to set up a housing task force similar to the kind we set up in California for the wildfires, to work with state and local authorities to have an orderly strategy to help people get back in their homes.
I fully understand people are upset when they lose their home. A person’s home is their most valued possession. And we want to work with state and local folks to have a clear strategy to help people find — get back into a place that — where they can live.
Secondly, we’re worried about farmers and ranchers. The country that’s being affected by these floods has got a lot of farm country, a lot of people raising livestock. And the Secretary of Agriculture has briefed me on the conditions — and we’re still assessing how widespread the damage is on the farmlands — and assures me that his team is in place to help farmers and ranchers with the federal aid available.
And finally, Director Nussle is here from the Budget Office. We’ve got what we called a Disaster Relief Fund. There’s enough money in that fund to take care of this disaster. But what we’re concerned about is future disasters this year. And therefore, we’re going to work with the Congress. Jim Nussle is going to go up to work with Congress to get enough money in the upcoming supplemental to make sure that fund is — has got enough money to deal with a potential disaster, another disaster this year.” – George orWell Bush, Oval Office, June 17th, 2008
WOW!!! “only one point”, with a “secondly”, and another “secondly”, and a “finally” to boot?
Well, the point is, Dumbya shoulda been booted long ago. He wasn’t, but in 156 days he’ll be gone, and January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

“One of the interesting initiatives we’ve taken in Washington, D.C., is we’ve got these vampire-busting devices. A vampire is a – a cell deal you can plug in the wall to charge your cell phone.” – George aWol Bush, Denver, Aug. 14, 2001
Say, Boy Blunder? You’re misunderestimating, again!!!
That said, it is amazing that Bush The Lesser would actually consider a cell deal vampire busting as a legitimate method for conserving energy, especially since his pal, Bushy McSame, mocks a different kind of energy conservation tool. Amazing, isn’t it? Boy Blunder actually almost grasps a difficult concept, yet Bushy McSame rejects the time-tested and simple step everyone else gets.
Thankfully, in 158 days Boy Blunder And The Plunderers will all be gone – signifying The End Of An Error.
And God help us if in 159 days Bushy McSame is sworn in, signifying The Beginning Of A New Error.

Today’s a Triple Dose Of Dumbya Day!
“The trial lawyers are very politically powerful. But here in Texas we took them on and got some good medical malpractice.”
“There may be some tough times here in America. But this country has gone through tough times before, and we’re going to do it again.”
“I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here.”
– George aWol Bush, speaking at the President’s Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002
Well, let’s toss in another one – Dumbya was on a roll….
“Tommy (Thompson) is a good listener, and he’s a pretty good actor, too.” -George aWol Bush, apparently confusing his Health and Human Services secretary with Sen. Fred Thompson, Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002
Yes, Boy Blunder was on a roll, that day in Waco. He was on a roll before, and since, too. But in 159 days, this misAdministration will be in the history books – as will the Adventures In BushSpeak, and January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

Q – Did President Putin ease your concern at all about the spread of nuclear technologies by Russia, and is this a man that Americans can trust?
A – I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country. - Boy Blunder, June 16th, 2001
What a moron. Bush The Lesser looked into Putin’s eyes, and thinks he saw Putin’s soul??!?
Putin used to run the KGB; he don’t got no (cheney)in’ SOUL. And only a moron trusts a guy that ran the KGB. Which, of course, would explain Dumbya.
You cannot spell “worst” without Dumbya, and January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

Then again, probably not as today’s Bushism is (sadly) typical; there’s a trove to choose from. But as noted yesterday, not so much during the summer, when Boy Blunder takes the bulk of his many, Many, MANY Vacations – at least 70 to Crawford, Texas alone. Anyway, The Texas Fence Post Turtle gave this one on this date 5 years ago from Crawford:
“And that’s just the nature of democracy. Sometimes pure politics enters into the rhetoric.” - George aWol Bush, Crawford, Texas, Aug. 8, 2003
Can’t make that up, folks. And you can’t make up that January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Extended Vacation Error.

“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.” — George aWol Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
And he wasn’t kidding. From the bait ‘n switch “War Of Choice” and The RumsFailed Doctrine of “War On The Cheap” to ‘Berto “Americans don’t got no steenkin’ Habeas Corpus” Gonzo to Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson’s escapades, to John Ashcroft hiding Lady Liberty to “Clear Skies Initiative” to Paul “Give That Girl A RAISE!!!” Wolfowitz, to ChickenHawks, to The Plame Game to “Kenny-Boy, I hardly knew ya” to GannonGate to Armstrong Williams to…. well, how much time to you have? Suffice it to say that until the misAdministration of Boy Blunder And The Plunderers, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d miss Richard Milhous Nixon.
And I really never thought I’d see the day, that Spiro T. Agnew wasn’t the worst VPOTUS.
January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error – can’t arrive too soon.

“In this job you’ve got a lot on your plate on a regular basis; you don’t have much time to sit around and wander, lonely, in the Oval Office, kind of asking different portraits, ‘How do you think my standing will be?’” — George (The “W” stands for “Worst”) Bush, Washington, D.C., March 16, 2005
Say, Dumbya? If they could talk, those dead men in the portraits would tell you that you’re really, Really, REALLY not destined as “The Future Fifth Face On Mount Rushmore”. And Buchanon, Pierce, Harrison and Harding probably would tell you that they’re mighty happy you came along. For those that aren’t pushing daisies, January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

“But all in all, it’s been a fabulous year for Laura and me.” - George orWell Bush, summing up his first year in office, Washington, D.C., Dec. 20, 2001
Yeah, “right.” Fabulous, simply fabulous. Thankfully, there’s only 181 days until The End Of An Error.
“I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.” George aWol Bush — Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen, January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error. And as we count down to the day when Boy Blunder And The Plunderers are in no longer “in charge” (yeah, “right”), it’s important to look back at some of the most memorable of Boy Blunder’s “Bushisms.”
Now, it’s obvious that there are more to hear, than the “one a day” we’ll try to do from here to that glorious day next January, when honor and integrity will be restored to The Oval Office, but we’ll try to pick those that reflect the utter ineptness of The Guy That Couldn’t Talk Straight, who is in charge of The misAdministration That Couldn’t Govern Straight. So stay tuned, while we look forward to the day we won’t have to listen to the daily mangling of the English language, by The Texas Fence Turtle that says stuff like:
“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.” –George aWol Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
