- DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -6/+135"I bet you guys made fun of the retarded kid in school didn't you?"
Yeah, but who ever thought that kid would go and show us and become President. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+95"2. "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." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004"
Are you serious? - Keddren, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7615. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

HEAD A-SPLODE! - abbott75, on 10/12/2007, -12/+79"This is the official list of the 50 dumbest things President George W. Bush *every* said."
Those who live in glass houses... - xerus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+69...shouldnt walk around naked?
- matiasrasmussen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+65It's a good list, but you missed one of my favorites:
51. "The problem with the French is that they have no word for 'entrepreneur.'" - betacmag4u, on 10/12/2007, -12/+64I bet you guys made fun of the retarded kid in school didn't you?
- kounavi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53it's even worse when a TOP 50 is not close to being enough
- mattsidesinger, on 10/12/2007, -10/+59This is not the official list. The official box is being protected in the "lock box."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+50"It must be a sad, pathetic life to sit around and hate a person so much."
Not as sad and pathetic as admitting you voted for a complete idiot who ran our country into massive debt, wasted our army on pointless war that was so ill-conceived they had to lie us into it, and in the process beat to death the last remaining shred of decency and civility in our political process.
And after all the harm he's done this great country you still support him.
Now THAT is sad and pathetic. - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+43Six months between those two first quotes, for those of you who aren't up to doing math right now. "It is our number one priority," to "It's not our priority" took all of six months. 180 days, give or take a couple.
I'm not pinning all the blame on Mr. Bush, mainly because I don't think he's smart enough to have orchestrated all the bizarre and truly Orwellian actions this administration has undertaken. Bush is the Zaphod Beeblebrox, the decisions are actually made by people behind the scenes that you and I don't even know exist, and fed to Bush via Karl Rove.
And don't get me wrong - I'm not a tinfoil hat wacko. Since Bush is simply not capable of coming up with all this, someone else must be. - paintist, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44He might drop a few malapropisms here and there but Bush - as this list clearly implies - usually completely ***** up the entire logic of what he's trying to say.
- arkanebeats, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41No list of bush phrases is complete without:
"I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep on the soil of a friend." —on visiting Denmark, Washington D.C., June 29, 2005 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37I really admired Bush for extending the olive branch to our aquatic bretheren: "I think the human and fish can coexist peacefully".
- makido, on 10/12/2007, -10/+46Yeah, those damn liberals, always labeling people. Always generalizing. All liberals are the same.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38Really?
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
That doesnt sound like a mix-up or mistranslation of words to me, that sounds like A ***** INCOMPETENT ***** STAIN. Oh sorry *that* was a mistranslation, you see I have this condition where sometimes I type ***** ***** instead of president and so on. It really is debilitating. - CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34I haven't read all of these, but my alltime favorite is when he's realized he's ***** up a word and says,
"I've misdispernunciated a word."
Not even a good fiction writer could come up with that. - brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31At this point I would prefer Zaphod Beeblebrox over Bush.
- taylorcomm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27.... or the person who wrote whose instead of who's.
- DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28"It must be a sad, pathetic life to sit around and hate a person so much. Liberals, this kind of behavior is why your causes will go nowhere."
If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, I'll think about what you just said and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Then I'll cry. But first, oh how I'll laugh. - broohaha, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28Make sure you point that out to Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Michael Savage, too.
- makido, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26To all the "stop calling Bush stupid" folks..
Be glad were aren't pointing out the sheer total incompetence of the man and his administration, and sticking to fairly mundane stuff such as name calling.
To all the "you can't judge his intelligence by what he says!" folks..
Really? What can we judge it by, then? His knowledge of the world? His policies? There ain't much to go by, if you're trying to defend his intelligence. I'm all for trying not to personally insult people, but at some point it's kind of necessary. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28@dampeal
So far no-one on this thread has given even a single argument in favour of George Bush. Either tell us why he isnt a ***** idiot.. or.. SHUT THE ABSOLUTE ***** UP YOU GOD DAMN ***** INBRED REDNECK ***** STAINED *****. - CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24That's becuase everyone hates him. Plus he provides so much material that we could have one of these on here everyday until the end of civilization.
"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23
15. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
I swear the next ***** who calls John Kerry a flip-flopper is going straight to Guantanamo. - plaunie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Post a list of intelligent quotes or cogent arguments made by the president in the last 6 years. I haven't heard any yet. Don't attack the messenger attack the argument.
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20@BrK1:
The level of a person's activity on Digg does not define their value, nor does a low level of Digg activity preclude them from running in other circles, on or off the Internets.
Go stroke your e-penis elsewhere. - plaunie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Let me help, it's the president.
- cyberdork, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21The difference is that the average digger is not commander in chief of 2.6 million soldiers and also in control of 10.000 nuclear warheads.
- mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20@AnneFrank
You have overlooked the possibility that Bush is both prone to malapropisms AND dumb as a rock. - thefirstenemy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Jesus *****?! Someone made a typo on the internet? Dear Lord, that guy has to be a complete retard.
- mattsidesinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."
I think a lot of people on digg do the same thing. They then get briefed by reading the comments. - mathchemist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19It doesn't really matter how dumb the average digger is, because the average digger isn't elected to an office of great world influence. It is the responsibility of the president to *NOT* be a retard.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20No im sorry, but this goes far beyond ***** journalists taking things out of context. You just tell me the ***** CONTEXT that these two quotes were 'taken out of' while Kerry was accused daily of being a 'flip flopper' (which in reality means someone who isnt so ***** arrogant that they can actually accept a change of view and admit that they were once wrong).
15. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
Oh and while your at it, tell me how "stay the course" and "we've never been stay the course" were taken out of context? Go on then! Its easy to claim your ***** ***** but I challenge you to back it up. - roastedbagel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19How is this "opinion"? It is a fact, that these quotes he has made, are very illiterate, that some of his words are not pronounced properly. That is not an opinion, it's a sad, sad fact. I am emabarassed of our President.
- jpsucks3999, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2062,040,606 dumbest things American citizens ever did? Voted for this clown.....AGAIN!
- jakeblat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18This should be number 1:
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." - b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15"47. "We both use Colgate toothpaste." —after a reporter asked what he had in common with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Camp David, Md., Feb. 23, 2001"
I can't believe Colgate passed on the amazing potential for advertising there.
"COLGATE - USED BY WORLD LEADERS!" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16@eth3l:
"Now why do I deserve to be slapped - am I that stupid for voting for him?"
Yes. You're a ***** idiot. - frepont, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19You know its sad when you can make a TOP 50 list of dumb things a president said.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16he's got plenty of time left to say dumber ***** than this.
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16It is because he says and does a lot of stupid things. Look, when president Clinton did his stupid things, there were jokes on every talk show and every news outlet on the planet. Why is it that now that Bush sends the nation into a endless new era Vietnam we aren't supposed to be able to criticize the man? Come on, get real. He says funny things, makes up his own laws and totally ignores both parties. He has to be made fun of some.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22This one sounds like it would've been a joke, not a stupidity, out of context.
"47. "We both use Colgate toothpaste." —after a reporter asked what he had in common with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Camp David, Md., Feb. 23, 2001 "
I also don't see what's so bad about this one
"38. "Haven't we already given money to rich people? Why are we going to do it again?" —to economic advisers discussing a second round of tax cuts, as quoted by former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil, Washington, D.C., Nov. 26, 2002"
Again, this one sounds like it could more more of an intelligent statement than something stupid
"34. "This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating." —as quoted by the New York Daily News, April 23, 2002"
Yet again! This one was PROBABLY a joke, and probably something else followed it. It's not hard to make Bush seem stupid, but this is ridiculous. You don't need to try so hard
"32. "It is white." —after being asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001 "
Besides 'trifecta' not being the most appropriate word to use, I see nothing wrong with this one, either
"19. "You know, when I was one time campaigning in Chicago, a reporter said, 'Would you ever have a deficit?' I said, 'I can't imagine it, but there would be one if we had a war, or a national emergency, or a recession.' Never did I dream we'd get the trifecta." —Houston, Texas, June 14, 2002 (There is no evidence Bush ever made any such statement, despite recounting the trifecta line repeatedly in 2002. A search by the Washington Post revealed that the three caveats were brought up before the 2000 campaign — by Al Gore.)"
The rest of them are legitimately stupid. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14very clearly the list is someone's opinion about what consitutes dumbest. I assume the accuracy of the statements. Some that I think are worth commenting on are...
15. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
>> complete reversal in just 6 months!
13. "But all in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me." —summing up his first year in office, three months after the 9/11 attacks, Washington, D.C., Dec. 20, 2001
>> does the man really have no principles or sensitivities?
9. "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." —to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004
>> one of the most blasphemous utterances by someone in public. Probably since John Lennon’s one about God that caused huge outrage at the time.
8. "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." —speaking underneath a "Mission Accomplished" banner aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 1, 2003
7. “We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories … And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." —Washington, D.C., May 30, 2003
>> can someone entrusted with one of the most powerful positions in the world really say something like this and get away with it? - Easty, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18lol @ 32:
"It is white." —after being asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001 - igyigyigy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I always liked this one:
"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific." —George W. Bush, who apparently forgot about a little something called World War II, Tokyo, Feb. 18, 2002 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@annefrank -
could you please identify the malaproprism(s) in the statements below, any one of which is so shockingly stupid that it should, by itself, disqualify anyone for US public office? which words, precisely, are mistranslated below?
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
"Do you have blacks, too?" —to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." —Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003 - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13#19 is Bush misquoting himself. He's claiming to have said something that actually came out of the mouth of his opponent, Al Gore, before the 2000 campaign. No, there's nothing wrong with the statement apart from that. I agree that the explanation was a bit confusing; I had to reread it a couple times to get it.
I'm with you on the others. I liked the "It is white" one, in fact. -
