For Jeb, George Sr., and anyone else who would like to clean up George W Bush's reputation

Here's a brief reminder of the kinds of utterances we could expect from this man on an almost-weekly basis. Please feel free to add your own Bush memories, if so moved.

"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." --George W Bush, August 6, 2004.

And for those AEI types who want to rehabilitate Dick F'ing Cheney's reputation, I don't have a quote, just a memory: one sunny Sunday afternoon, I turned on my PC, and found that the Vice President of the United States of America had shot a man in the face with a shotgun. Not only did he shoot a man in the face with a shotgun, he also covered it up for almost 24 hours while he sobered up and developed a plan. And then he got the poor bastard (Harry Weddington, brother-in-law to Bush family fixer James Baker) to apologize in a nationally-televised news conference for getting his skull in the way of the Vice President's shot.

I have nothing but spit-in-your-face contempt for the entire Bush Administration, and with recent moves to cleanse the family name and the administrations record, I just wanted to bring up a couple of the high points of those 8 horrible years. Again, feel free to add your own if you'd like.
