3. You know, I think he forgot Poland
But at least he remembered Italy. Too bad Kerry didn't remember to remind Smirky McBunnypants that Italy's pulling the hell out.

33. at first I thought it was "inches"
(increased wetlands by 3 million "square inches")

but then my super-smart Future President reminded me that they only accomplished the 3 million ACRES by changing the definition of "wetland" :eyeroll:

I'm glad we had our Future President up there to explain this stuff to us. It's hard to keep track of ALL of it!

8. He's anti-slavery !!!

Yes, Bush disagrees with the Dred Scott case. That is his standard for justices.

That almost made me cry. I strongly suspect that will be on the Daily Show!!!

16. I proposed Hydrogen fueled cars.
He didn't propose anything of the kind. Hydrogen cars and buses already existed before he started to run for President.:eyes:

I think we have our "I invented the internet(S)" to use.:evilgrin:

38. This one I believe could be "I invented the net" line.
BMW started the massive research on this. Now GM Group and Several other manufactures are on board with BMW.

46. it was "ma'am" however...
...I think he addressed it to the questioner. Keep in mind, unlike Kerry, Bush was unable to remember the names of any of the people in the town hall.

Kerry, by contrast, made a point of noting and using each person's name. A small courtesy but, I think, an important one. And very telling when your opponent is a rude boor who shouts down the freakin' moderator.

43. He attacked the UN, Kyoto, and the World Criminal Court.
I forgot if he made up some new Bushisms along the way. But, this guy hates anybody who doesn't agree with him...especially 'foreigners'.
