Had a good day? At peace with the world ? Tensions at an all time low? TIRED OF THIS HARMONY ?? Wanna have one of them big juicy headches that make you wish you were a headbanger ?
Ya, me neither. But that's what I ended up with in the end. Because I got hit by a literary brick. It's ironical because I was actually looking for the author of one of my "golden oldie fav" quotes when I came across this list from the MESSIAH of our generation. Like all the icons of previous times , his quotes too make people think, make them pause..make them reach for an ice pick to stab their own brains out.
I present to you

BUSHISMS ( Click for more : I just chose a select few )
P.S. You must read all the chosen quotes below at a stretch -Doctors orders

Bush On Family & Friends:

"We had a chance to visit with Teresa Nelson who's a parent, and a mom or a dad."
"I appreciate my love for Laura." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., April 20, 2005
"I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep on the soil of a friend." --George W. Bush, on visiting Denmark, Washington D.C., June 29, 2005
"I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them then I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president."
"Now, we talked to Joan Hanover. She and her husband, George, were visiting with us. They are near retirement — retiring — in the process of retiring, meaning they're very smart, active, capable people who are retirement age and are retiring."
"I want to thank my friend, Senator Bill Frist, for joining us today. You're doing a heck of a job. You cut your teeth here, right? That's where you started practicing? That's good. He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."


Bush On the War :

"I am here to make an announcement that this Thursday, ticket counters and airplanes will fly out of Ronald Reagan Airport." —Washington, D.C., Oct. 3, 2001"The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the — the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."
The folks who conducted to act on our country on September 11th made a big mistake. They underestimated America. They underestimated our resolve, our determination, our love for freedom. They misunderestimated the fact that we love a neighbor in need. They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the Commander-in-Chief, too.""As you know, we don't have relationships with Iran. I mean, that's -- ever since the late '70s, we have no contacts with them, and we've totally sanctioned them. In other words, there's no sanctions -- you can't -- we're out of sanctions."
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.""Who could have possibly envisioned an erection -- an election in Iraq at this point in history?"
"You took an oath to defend our flag and our freedom, and you kept that oath underseas and under fire." --George W. Bush, addressing war veterans, Washington, D.C., Jan. 10, 2006
"It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way."
"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."
"We're still being challenged in Iraq and the reason why is a free Iraq will be a major defeat in the cause of freedom."
"I'm going to spend a lot of time on Social Security. I enjoy it. I enjoy taking on the issue. I guess, it's the Mother in me."

Bush On the World :

"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific." —Umm, what about Hiroshima Nagasaki?
"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."

Bush ON Dope?? :
"For NASA, Space Is Still A High Priority."
"I Don't Need To Be Subliminabable."
"I Understand Small Business Growth. I Was One."
"Will The Highways On The Internet Become More Few?"
"I Know How Hard It Is For You To Put Food On Your Family."
"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe — I believe what I believe is right."
"And so, in my State of the — my State of the Union — or state — my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation — I asked Americans to give 4,000 years — 4,000 hours over the next — the rest of your life — of service to America. That's what I asked — 4,000 hours."
"I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging." —George W. Bush, at the dedication of his portrait, Austin, Texas, Jan. 4, 2002"I think -- tide turning -- see, as I remember -- I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of -- it's easy to see a tide turn -- did I say those words?" --George W. Bush, asked if the tide was turning in Iraq, Washington, D.C., June 14, 2006
I've reminded the prime minister-the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship."
"I can only speak to myself."
"If they pre-decease or die early, there's an asset base to be able to pass on to a loved one." --George W. Bush, on Social Security money held in private accounts
"I'm also mindful that man should never try to put words in God's mouth. I mean, we should never ascribe natural disasters or anything else to God. We are in no way, shape, or form should a human being, play God."
"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a -- you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."
"I think it's very important for the American President to mean what he says. That's why I understand that the enemy could misread what I say. That's why I try to be as clearly I can."
"I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn't cut them. The Congress cut them. I asked them to cut them."
"I'll be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie. I've heard about it. I hope you go -- you know -- I hope you go back to the ranch and the farm is what I'm about to say." --George W. Bush, after being asked whether he's seen Brokeback Mountain
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country.""You've also got to measure in order to begin to effect change that's just more — when there's more than talk, there's just actual — a paradigm shift."


I guess it's only appropriate that I end your misery with another Bushism that probably speaks your state of mind right now -

"I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" --George W. Bush, Beaverton, Oregon, Aug. 13, 2004
