Got Wood? Bushisms of the Second Presidential Debate...

[jerryman814]

I love the presidential races. Especially the ones in recent history. Why you ask? Well, nothing is funnier than watching President Bush - leader of the "free" world - show the incompetence that encumbers him. Here's a few of the Bushisms that was showcased during the Presidential Debate on 10/8/04 (feel free to add your own):

1 - "Anybody need some wood?" - No, but monkey seems to want a banana...

2 - "Iraqis love to be free" ... "I know how these people think".

3 - "Hydro... Hydra... Hydrog... Hydrogenated automobiles" - I think the correct phrase is "Automobiles with Hydrogran Fuel Cells"

4 - Question #4 - President: "People Love America" ... (Fast Forward) ... Question #18 - President: "Saddam hates America".
>Begs the question, "Are we going to invade everyone who hates America?"

5 - "Many will view some of my decisions as MICK-STAKES"

6 - "We are working hard."

7 - "I went to Washington to fix problems"

8 - We want to make sure the medicine "works".

9 - "I'm going to spend what it takes to win the war."

10 - "Is my time up yet?" - No, just a couple of weeks more, friend.

11 - "I'm still trying to decipher that."


Did I miss any?

1. Got wood?

How 'bout my head? It's wooden.

[WLKjr]

2. I got 'wood'

:evilgrin:


I'll buy some wood from you Bush, I will use it to light a fire under you or use the longest flatest knottiest peice and beat the shit out of you.

[Bluebear]

3. He works with "Sylvia Burlesque", the president of Italy

[NightTrain]

4. "There's rumors on the Internets...."

:eyes:

[notadmblnd]

5. you forgot

the steward of the evnironment.

[jayctravis]

6. My favorite:

"You gave me a look like my clock was out."

[jerryman814]

7. LOL

[neebob]

8. Replacing Europe with more effective equipment

"And so we're moving troops out of Europe and replacing it with more effective equipment."

[stranger_with_candy]

9. He said fastel

or something to that effect. I don't even remember what he was talking about and have absolutely no idea what he meant to say. All i know is i laughed and said what does fastel mean?

on edit: just saw in the transcript he said facile. i heard fastel.

[MattBaggins]

21. I thought he said phallus

[jerryman814]

30. Well...

He did offer people some wood later on so I don't blame you for hearing "phallus"...

[thinkingwoman]

33. do you think he knows that facile

is french?

And what was the context? I remember thinking that was a stupid word choice at the time (nothing shocking when bush is speaking).

[Perky]

10. Got Wood? Its the perfect line for trying to win back the

Log Cabin Rebublicans

[tedzbear]

23. Muhahahahahahaha!

I didn't think of that.

[Oilwellian]

11. Did I understand this correctly?

When Bush was talking about the kind of judge he'd choose for the Supreme Court, he said he'd choose a strict "constructionalist." Errr, did he mean to say "constitutionalist?"

[w4rma]

12. I think he did mean constructionalist in a Freudian way. (nt)

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. He does mean strict constructionist.

"Reading the Constitution literally is also called strict construction." Modes of Constitutional Interpretation, #2 Textualism. http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/410/410lect02.htm

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I'm not tellin

That was the best line of the night.

It captured how he has run the country for his entire term.

[neebob]

13. Here's another one

"The truth of that matter is, if you listen carefully, Saddam would still be in power if he were the president of the United States, "And the world would be a lot better off."

[Dob Bole]

14. What I've said on the other threads...

"Let me talk, Charlie Gibson!! I need this, baby!!"

[neebob]

15. And another one

When he was talking about Dred Scott:

"That's a personal opinion. That's not what the Constitution says. The Constitution of the United States says we're all -- you know, it doesn't say that. It doesn't speak to the equality of America."

[troubleinwinter]

16. "OB-GYNs"

[jdj]

24. Here's what he was about to say before he caught himself

"... that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"

From the dec. of Ind. not the constitution.

[neebob]

26. Oh, then he's very facile

That does seem to be the word of the day. One of the Fox post-debate commentators used it, and then I heard Charlie Gibson use it on Nightline. He said he thought Kerry and Bush were both facile. Bush starts a trend.

[barb162]

25. he argued against himself on that one since the Constitution

at that time didn't recognize blacks so the judges really were strict constructionists. You would have had to be an activist judge not to send Scott back to the South to be a slave again.

[Catherine Vincent]

28. Heehee! I laughed so hard when he said that.

[GinaMaria]

18. about the draft question

there's rumors on the Internets (I've only been using one. Is there a secret one that liberals haven't been told about?);-)

[jerryman814]

19. it's called

FreeRepublic... but those who go there, NEVER COME BACK!!

[troublemaker]

20. "It might be from Canada or from a Third World"

[barb162]

27. lol

[jdj]

22. I like his rap reference to al quaida

"The great threat to our country is that these haters end up with weapons of mass destruction."

Hate the player, not the game?

[kimchi]

29. OK, let me incent you to go on the government."

I HAD to find that before I went to bed. I knew it wasn't just my imaginarium.

[MisterP]

31. offroad diesel engines

[Andrushka]

32. The whole environment bit held some of the best...

"offroad die-sell engines"

"I've got a plan to increase the wetlands by 3 million."

"...so I proposed a hydrogen, uh, automobile, hydrogen-generated automobile, we're spending a billion dollars to come up with the technologies to do that, that's why I'm a big proponent of clean coal technology..."

"I'm a good steward of the land"

:crazy:
