The Ultimate George W. Bushisms: Bush at War
"This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all."
As the end of the Bush era approaches, the legacy is George W. Bush is a wartime president. His enemy, battered but not defeated after repeated the English language. The ultimate edition of George W. Bushisms captures this legacy -- from the Gulf Coast to Iraq and back -- with all-new pearls of wisdom and the twenty-five greatest hits of the entire presidency.
"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one."

Mildly amusing. A long way to say Weisberg is smart with the power of Google, Bush is stupid. Which is probably true, because of Google.

One of the funniest books I've read. Almost - and notice I said almost - makes the last 8 years worth it. Old W missed his calling as a comedian. He could have made a lot of money without fucking up the world.
