Someone please explain to me why anyone would vote for a dimwit who said this:

This is my Bushism quote for the day:

"It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America" - George W. Bush in Dakar Senegal July 8th, 2003

Did this dumbass actually say this in front of an African audience. Oh lordy!

[skygazer]

1. He is such an embarassment

Yup, they cheerfully got on boats with their luggage and their passports, waved goodbye and sailed over here, past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. A new life! A new hope! A new beginning!

My aching ass.... :banghead:

[LynneSin]

2. so your ass is in your brain

:hide:

[skygazer]

4. No, my head's up my ass

And its dark. x(

[MysticalChicken]

3. Oh... my head...

*dizzy*

[driver8]

5. This can't be true...I know he is stupid but he isn't THAT stupid, is he?

What a freakin' moran!

[bluedigger]

6. That is, without doubt,

the stupidest thing I ever heard! Did he REALLY say that? I have just lost ALL respect for Yale and Harvard!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. about 50%

of Amerika are Kool-Aid drinkin' FReeper freakies... at least that was the case when he was supposedly reelected.... so that 'bout 'splains it...

[SacredCow]

25. Don't be hatin' the Kool-Aid.....

to me, the ultimate FReeper drink seems to be some nasty imitation of beer (Miller Lite or some such crap)...

[GenDem]

8. His tribal sovereignty definition even got a chuckle from the press corp

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." —President Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004

I wouldn't vote for a mayor if he talked like this.

[LSK]

9. nobody can be this stupid

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LibDemAlways]

10. It says more about the American people than it does

the chimp that the last two elections were close enough for the repukes to steal. All you have to do is listen to the idiot for five minutes to know he's a moron. He can't complete a single coherent unscripted sentence.

That the repukes had the nerve to foist him on the public in the first place is a travesty. That millions of people actually voted for the turd is almost beyond belief. George Bush is dumb, but the people who voted for him are even dumber.

[Whisp]

11. lol! I've been looking for that quote for ages now.

apparently he really really said that - it was up at the .gov site a couple years ago I think - couldn't find it last time I looked tho.

I know! what an idiot! holy crap that is the stupidest damn thing ever to come out of his stupid yap.

[redqueen]

12. ARGH!

And he does it ALL THE FUCKING TIME!

:wtf: :banghead:

:crazy:

[LynneSin]

13. Yeah but this one was especially bad

If I imagine what he said happened it means all these slaves were just so happy to leave their home lands and work harsh conditions for a pittance.

[redqueen]

14. Yeah... it's really bad, even for him. And that's sayin a LOT.

*sigh*

[LeftyMom]

15. Because they want to have a beer with him!

Yeah, I don't get that one either.

[TZ]

16. I believe it..heres another nice one about Africans.....

"It was Condoleezza Rice, national security advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing situation. During a conversation between the two presidents, George W. Bush, 55, (USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil), Bush bewildered his colleague with the question "Do you have blacks, too?"
Rice, 47, noticing how astonished the Brazilian was, saved the day by telling Bush "Mr. President, Brazil probably has more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the Country with the most blacks outside Africa." Later, the Brazilian president Cardoso said: regarding Latin America, Bush was still in his "learning phase".
Although I must say snopes can't confirm or deny this, somehow this seems quite in character

[SacredCow]

17. Have a source and/or link for that one?

Just too good not to remind a few FReeper colleagues of their leader's grasp of reality....

18. Here's a citation

[SacredCow]

19. I'm a little bothered by that "inaudible".....

Exactly how much was inaudible? There could have been some sentences in there that would have changed the meaning drastically.

20. Hello from New Iberia!!!

:hi:

[SacredCow]

21. Greetings, fellow Louisianian!!!

How're things?

[Courtesy Flush]

23. Great. Where are you?

[SacredCow]

24. I'm in Baton Rouge....

Home to all things boring and culturally insignificant!

:silly:

[Courtesy Flush]

26. I know. I was born and raised there. Left in '77.

[SacredCow]

27. Born and raised here, too...

Kind of stuck here, until my son gets out of school so I'll be here for at least 10 more years....

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. And they had to hold onto that freedom with those heavy chains.

:sarcasm: :puke:

[yardwork]

28. Wet brain. Like I've been saying. Wet brain.
