"Sometimes when I sleep at night I think of Hop on Pop." - George W. Bush, 2002
In these incredibly trying times as we continue in our vigilance to reclaim democracy, why don't you take a moment's respite to laugh at the utter absurdity that is the Bush administration. George W. Bush will be remembered as the worst president in modern memory. As well, he'll be remembered as one of the least articulate. Why not have a little fun reading through this week's Bushisms, voting on your favorite, or even providing a Bushism of your own? Enjoy.

Bush sells his tort "reform" as the magic solution to the health care coverage crisis, in speeches rife with gaffes:
1. "Thanks for waiting on me. I had a visit with some of the -- some folks from the area here. A neurosurgeon, a cardiologist, the administrator of a hospital, OB/GYN, a patient, all about the health care crisis that exists here in this part of the world."
--Collinsville, Illinois, Jan. 5, 2005
It's hard, hard work!
2. "I believe we are called to do the hard work to make our communities and quality of life a better place."
-- Collinsville, Illinois, Jan. 5, 2005
Bush tries to remind us all that he's "workin' hard at lovin'" us.
3. "People sometimes say what's more important than the country is my politics."
[No way, they're slanderers all!]
-- Washington, D.C., Jan. 3, 2005
Bush reminds us that justice or not, we've got to keep that money flowing! Straight into his and his cronies' pockets!
4. "We need to reform our legal systems so the people, on the one hand, can get justice. On the other hand, the justice system doesn't affect the flows of capital."
-- Washington, D.C., Dec. 16, 2004
Break out the fishtank platforms! Pimps don't have anything on George W.! Here's a Bushism alltime favorite:
5. "I always jest to people, the Oval Office is the kind of place where people stand outside, they're getting ready to come in and tell me what for, and they walk in and get overwhelmed in the atmosphere, and they say, man, you're looking pretty."
-- Washington, D.C., Nov. 4, 2004
