from the great leader of the free world himself :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.”
“If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.”
“Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.”
“Welcome to Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.”
“Mars is essentially in the same orbit…Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.”
“The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.”
“I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy – but that could change.”
“One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is ‘to be prepared’.”
“I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.”
“We’re going to have the best educated American people in the world.”
“I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.”
“We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.”
“A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.”
“When I have been asked who caused the riots and the killing in LA, my answer has been direct & simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame.
“We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.”
“For NASA, space is still a high priority.”
“Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.”
“It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.”
“[It’s] time for the human race to enter the solar system.”

The easiest way to use the quote function is to type:
[ quote ]COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT YOU WANT TO QUOTE[ /quote ]
Don’t leave the spaces between the [brackets]. This way you won’t have to botter with pop-up boxes. It is also easier to copy stuff that way and edit it if you need to.
If you want you can also make (parts of) the text bold or italic by using the normal codes [ b ] + [ /b ] for bold and [ i ] + [ /i ] for italics. Here too, leave out the spaces between the [brackets].
The computer will NOT copy the original layout. If the text you want to quote is partially intalic and/or bold, you will have to add that yourself.

It depends Rabie, what you like better. Me calling Bush a moron or Elizebeth a — female dog }> (with all do respect for the labrador-race which does not fall under this category). Actually I have no problem with GWB going to linguistic wonderland. Our own royal family beats GWB in this field. Especially if they try to speak Dutch: nice to have a royal family who can`t even manage to speak the same language as 65 % of its population. }>. Let alone those 20 000 German-speaking Belgians (sorry frank ;-)). Yeah, that happens if you have to find a royal family for your new-born country. We got the left-overs: they fill their days making babies, writing books on dogs, raping F-16s and speeding.
Nah, I`d rather had the Habsburgers.

RE: Is Rabie giving GW speech lessons?
Rabie
Have you been giving GWB speech lessons? If so it would explain some of his occasional lapses. 🙂
I happened to catch GWB giving a speech a few weeks ago. He talked for almost 26 minutes without a single miscue, without once looking at a note and without a prompter. I enjoyed it.
The following sunday I happened to catch a speech by a American leftist university prof made to a anti-American crowd at Carlton U in Ottawa, Ontario. This character mumbled and stumbled his way through a typical anti-American rant which featured comments about GWB being stupid, inarticulate, blah, blah, blah. He read the whole piece, constantly losing his place and fliping pages. I wondered afterward if this dolt even wondered why his talk fell flat.
I also saw a segment late last year where GWB and his wife acknowledged his tendancy to slip into linguistic wonderland and her occasional reaction to it. He accepts his stumbles with good humour.

Sauron

RE: Quotes
A biopic on Bush Jr? A Braindead sequel would be nice, especially if he can make a similarly nice parent-child relationship as in the original Braindead (for those who don’t know: the hero’s mother is bitten by a Sumatran Rat-Ape and changes into a zombie, while the hero tries to take care for her and keep the damage minimal… hahaha).
But why not a movie on the whole current White House? Meet the Feebles II. In the end we can have Condoleezza Rice rampaging through the White House with an M-60, killing everyone except for Powell who only get’s shot in the kneecaps. Good thing about Meet the Feebles II would be that a completely new episode of Frogs of War can be included as well (for those who haven’t seen Meet the Feebles: try and check it out. Some info can be found on http://www.badmovies.org/movies/meetfeebles/ ).
As for Bush: well, probably the best thing he could do is just admit he’s dyslexic. It’s either that, or he is really dumb.

RE: Quotes
When Peter Jackson has finished “The return of the King” (ie Lord of the rings part 3) he should do a biopic of Bush… I think he should call it “Braindead II:Revenge of the Axis of Evil.”. }>
