President George W. Bush will leave behind a legacy of Bushisms, the label stamped on the commander in chief's original speaking style. Some of the president's more notable malaprops and mangled statements:

• "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." — Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.

• "The people in Louisiana must know that all across our country there's a lot of prayer — prayer for those whose lives have been turned upside down. And I'm one of them. It's good to come down here." — Sept. 3, 2008, at an emergency operations center in Baton Rouge, La., after Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast.

You missed some of the best ones!

"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."

"Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."

"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."

That was on there.

It kind of makes you dizzy, working out these sentences and all.

[PortraitOfSanity]

Personally, it made me lose faith in humanity. But that happens daily, so nothing unusual there.

[Albert Mond]

If it were the internet, Bush would look like a troll.
Forum Bush After 9/11: "Al-Qaeda is a worldwide Terrorist organization. Some of them are in Afghanistan. Let's aimlessly blow up Afghanistan."
Forum Bush Slightly Later after 9/11: "Let's blow the shit out of Iraq, too."
"Did you hear the Pope's last speech? It was awesome!"

[Renatus]

There are several books out on Bushisms.

[Cen0bite]

Yeah. The bf and I have a calender of Bushisms counting down til Inauguration Day. The last one just speaks for itself. " You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone."

[PortraitOfSanity]

Woah, it's Cen0bite.... Where the hell have you been?

[Beneath the Shadows]

Ah, yes, Bushisms. The laughter never ceases. My favorite one is "I am here to make an announcement that this Thursday, ticket counters and airplanes will fly out of Ronald Reagan Airport."

• "Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House. such a casual attitude towards the pope, heh, I might be the same way, at least he didn't call him Popey...

[CptSternn]

'Awesome speech'. What a great way to show appreciation to the Pope after he shows up at your home and leads a formal MASS.

It makes you wonder if he thinks his own speeches are somehow religious, since he seems to categorise religious services the same as giving a speech...
