DAY 36:
Pair of Bushisms

"More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than - I say more Muslims - a lot of Muslims have died - I don't know the exact count - at Istanbul. Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill." — President George Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2004

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things." — President George Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

1. fucking moron.

so killers kill huh? that's one thing he understands, killing.

2. Not to be too persnickety, but ...

... doesn't "dispatch" mean "kill"?

I'm not much of a killing man myself. I dislike Bush, but killing him would be a little too extreme.

Impeachment, conviction, imprisonment ... that's more my speed.

5. Gonna have to update my lexicon ...

I'd probably avoid it, anyway ... I've almost never heard "dispatch" used in the derogatory sense except as definition #3 (putting to death). But it's probably just the luck of my draw.
