There are so many!
"Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job."
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."
"My answer is bring them on."
"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."
"I'm the master of low expectations."
"We ended the rule of one of history's worst tyrants, and in so doing, we not only freed the American people, we made our own people more secure."
"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'm also mindful that man should never try to put words in God's mouth. I mean, we should never ascribe natural disasters or anything else, to God. We are in no way, shape, or form should a human being, play God."
"After standing on the stage, after the debates, I made it very plain, we will not have an all-volunteer army. And yet, this week—we will have an all-volunteer army. Let me restate that."
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."
"Security is the essential roadblock to achieving the road map to peace."
"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."
"I want to thank my friend, Sen. Bill Frist, for joining us today. … He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. (Laughter.) Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."
"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."
"I was a prisoner too, but for bad reasons." (to the president of Argentina, comparing himself to the political prisoners there. ???)
"Do you have Blacks too?" (to the former president of Brazil; Condoleezza Rice had to school him that Brazil had the most Blacks of any country outside the continent of Africa)
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
"I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."
"You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order—order out of chaos. But we will."
"I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose: you disarm, or we will."
"You see, the Senate wants to take away some of the powers of the administrative branch."
"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."
"There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world worst leaders to hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and allies with the world's worst weapons."
"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."
"And so, in my State of the—my State of the Union—or state—my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation—I asked Americans to give 4,000 years—4,000 hours over the next—the rest of your life—of service to America. That's what I asked—4,000 hours."
"I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them."
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."
"I mean, there needs to be a wholesale effort against racial profiling, which is illiterate children."
"It's [Al Gore's tax plan] going to require numerous IRA agents."
"We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."
"I don't know whether I'm going to win or not. I think I am. I do know I'm ready for the job. And, if not, that's just the way it goes."
"The only things that I can tell you is that every case I have reviewed I have been comfortable with the innocence or guilt of the person that I've looked at. I do not believe we've put a guilty ... I mean innocent person to death in the state of Texas."
"We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal—federal cufflink."
"We ought to make the pie higher."

According to
Reuters, it's a real photo of him asking Mammy Condi can he get up and go.
The photographer actually speaks about it too.

This is one of my top 3

Miller, want to cry in some tumblers filled with Scotch? Speaking of which, I have some vodka to drink.

This is the most telling:
"I want to thank my friend, Sen. Bill Frist, for joining us today. … He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. (Laughter.) Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."

Wow, Erik, I've never mixed vodka with scotch. Does it make one forget that Bush is still in the White House? If so, sign me up for a double.

Sorry Miller, I drank .5 litre of vodka Friday. I don't want to drink anymore. I needed to depress and get to that point. No matter how shit-faced I get it doesn't change the fact that 50 million people really are that dumb, greedy, selfish and change-fearing.
So all we can do is mimic our chosen leader. We will all fail miserably at our endeavors. Thus we will be lowering our expectations and making life easier for ourselves. I really believe that if we act together and do not try very hard and think about it, we can do it. If we pull together and continue our nation-wide complacency and consumption we can complete the next three years with familiarity.
I was just trying to authenticate my dry-drunk slur

Oh goodie...does that mean I can become a coke sniffin' drunk, just like our leader? Oh joy, no more guilt! Gosh Erik, you just made my life a whole lot easier. For that pesky depression, I recommend meth. Scotch and/or vodka can be a downer. You need some puppie-uppers!
