Bush's "...if I were dictator..." statement - anybody remember it? Link?
It was on CNN just before or after the 2000 election - and he had that smirk on his face. It was such a chilling & creepy statement. If anybody has the direct quote, I'd appreciate it.

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

By the way, according to BuzzFlash, he has said he'd prefer to be a dictator at least three times.

10. Sad, but awesome site - Thanks & welcome
I have a feeling there are a lot of lurkers out there, looking for real information, rather than the non-news seen on T.V. Kinda like some of those countries we're trying to liberate.
