When you are in the middle of a battle to win an election it's probably not a good idea to threaten the voters. But George Bush did just that as he added to his long list of verbal blunders in a speech.
In a televised speech yesterday, President Bush told a roomful of top Pentagon officials that his administration would never stop looking for ways to hurt America and its people.
"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," Bush said.
No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.
In a previous election campaign, Bush made another gaff when he said: 'A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.'
The Republican leader is facing a tough challenge from Democrat John Kerry before November's election.

More Bushisms:
'Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.'
'If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.'
'The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this
century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.'
'Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?'
'Laura and I really don't realise how bright our children is sometimes until
we get an objective analysis.'
'Welcome to Mrs Bush, and my fellow astronauts.'
'I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy
- but that could change.'
On the California power cuts: 'The crunch really is the result of not enough
power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of
generating plants.'

Dave Letterman gives it to him every nite.
One segment is called, "Great Moments In Presdential speeches."
It goes from Nixon to Kennedy and then to Bush just bumbling about some crap that has alienated

Another beauthy is the footage of him getting out of a chopper and hocking a loogie
the size of Texas out the side o his mouth,yet appears to be attempting to be discriminate.

Using the personalised google setting you can add random Bush quotes to your google page ;D
I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.
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 told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier -- just as long as I'm the dictator.
It means that doctors are practicing what they call preventative medicine. In other words, if you think somebody's going to sue you, if you're in a litigious society, then you'll take extra care by prescribing more and more either procedures, or whatever it may be.

From Today's "new" ::) war in Iraq strategy:
"If the Iraqi government does not follow through on its promises, it will lose the support of the American people, and it will lose the support of the Iraqi people," Mr Bush said.

3,500 American troops dead and Bush comes up with crap like this ::).
In remarks made Wednesday to the Associated General Contractors of America, President Bush defined his view of the success in Iraq that he hopes to accomplish.
"Either we'll succeed, or we won't succeed," he said. "And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not, no violence."
While saying "succeed," Bush appears to chuckle.
The president then compared Iraq to the United States saying that there were parts of the US with "a certain level of violence," but that "people feel comfortable about living their daily lives" in those areas. That level of violence, said Bush, is what the US is aiming to achieve in Iraq.
At a White House Press Briefing later in the day Suzanne Malveaux of CNN asked Press Secretary Tony Snow to clarify what would constitute an "acceptable level of violence."
"That's a very good question," replied Snow. "I don't have an answer."

When words get in the way, Bush goes phonetic
Article from: Reuters
September 26, 2007 11:29am
HOW do you keep a leader as verbally gaffe-prone as US President George W Bush from making even more slips of the tongue?
When Bush addressed the UN General Assembly, the White House inadvertently showed exactly how - with a phonetic pronunciation guide on the teleprompter to get him past troublesome names of countries and world leaders.
The White House was left scrambling to explain after a marked-up draft of Bush's speech popped up briefly on the UN website as he delivered his remarks, giving a rare glimpse of the special guidance he gets for major addresses.
It included phonetic spellings for French President Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-KO-zee), a friend, and Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe (moo-GAH-bee), a target of US human rights criticism.
Pronunciations were also provided for Kyrgyzstan (KEYR-geez-stan), Mauritania (moor-EH-tain-ee-a) and the Zimbabwe capital Harare (hah-RAR-ray).

1) Paris Hilton talking to press about the US chain store: "Wal-Mart... do they like make walls there?"

3) Alicia Silverstone on her role in Clueless: "I think that the film was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."
4) Chantelle Houghton when Big Brother said she had changed since becoming a celebrity: “I've changed? What do you mean... I've changed my clothes?"
5) Jodie Marsh in a recent interview: "Eskimos are uncivilised because they don't have any shops."
