Five Dumbest Bushisms of The Year


You can cast a vote for the number one dumbest thing that came out of pResident Bush's mouth this year. I don't know how anyone managed to narrow the pool down to only five of the dumbest, but here they are.

Read them and laugh, or cry.

1) "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." —to FEMA director Michael Brown, who resigned 10 days later amid criticism over his handling of Hurricane Katrina, Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005

2) "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." —Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005

3) "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." —on "Good Morning America," Sept. 1, 2005, six days after repeated warnings from experts about the scope of damage expected from Hurricane Katrina

4) "You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." —to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005

5) "I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?" —in a note to to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a U.N. Security Council meeting, September 14, 2005

I wouldn't let this man pet sit my dog or water my plants. But here he is running the country. Go figure.
