One of my favorites is during the debates when asked whether or not he felt he had been an good steward of the environment and what the most important environmental policies he put forth were and he replied "Stricter emission controls on 4-wheelers". I mean, WTF?? Of all the environmental problems facing our country he picks 4-wheelers?? It shows how he just doesn't get it. What a moron!

"You fucking son of a bitch. I saw what you wrote. We're not going to forget this." 1988. A drunken George W., storming into a Mexican diner in Dallas, and approaching Al Hunt (Wall Street Journal editor). Al was dining with his wife and 4 year old son, when Dubya interrupted cursing for several minutes in front of everyone.

Matthews: "What's that in English?"
Bush: "Fifteenth of September."

Joke of the day.
A Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an insurgent soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby, on the opposite side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert. As first aid was given to both men, the Marine was asked what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. Seeing each other we both took cover. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable low-life scumbag, and he yelled back that George Bush is a lying, good-for-nothing tool."
"We were standing there shaking hands when a truck hit us."

Let's not forget what he said during a campaign speech: "terror fell from a soft autumn sky."
Poor fucker was trying to be poetic and didn't realise that autumn begins on Sept. 22nd.
