Bush Quote Generator
Hey hey kids! It’s time for another useless gadget to add to your web page. This one will spit out a randomly selected quote from our favourite president, George W.!
To use, all your need to do is copy this code into your blog! Stick your favourite photo of the man himself above for extra effect.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://marsupialmusic.net/stu/scripts/bush-script.php"></script>
Bye for now!
**Update**
Now you can add the quote generator to your Google home page! Hooray!
**Update** - 28/1/2007
Thank you for your continued support of the George W. Bush quote generator. In response to a couple of comments, I have modified the program to include a citation so that you can verify for yourself the accuracy of these quotes.
I’d also like to add a couple of hat-tips. The generator runs using Pascal Hakim’s excellent fortune program, together with Don Seiler’s Dubya module.
**Update** - 26/7/2007
Yes yes, I have disabled the google plugin. Two reasons: firstly, the gadget is growing immensely popular; and secondly, my coding is so clunky that the server can no longer handle all the hits. If anyone has a solution, wants to rewrite the code, or help host the thing on their server, let me know.

hi there - added this to my Google homepage - thanks! for the record, George W. makes Forrest Gump & Rain Man look like Steven Hawking and Albert Einstein.

Is it true that georgous george once said, “This allegations are completley false, i know who these alligators are and will bring them justice”
November 11th, 2006 at 6:33 am
he’s soo crazy
November 21st, 2006 at 8:15 am
this is absolute rubbish not even worth getting none of it is true as i am a george fan and i am gay
November 29th, 2006 at 2:49 am
Never underestimate the deficiencies of dubya!
This service is great. It would be even better if you could give some citations (where, when). That way I would have some credibility when I annoy my Republican friends with these quotes. (OK, I admit it, I don’t really have any Replubican friends, but I could at least polish my Democratic credentials.)
December 4th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
i have these quotes on my home page to remind me every day on how democrats are so eager to tear down the president of the US that theyll post a phonetics err of his everyday. What is this doing for our contries moral in such a desperate time…nothing

Sorry some village in Texas is missing their Idiot

This is showing the rest of the world that in america we are free to speak and to act out anyway we see fit. What type of country would this be if we couldn’t critisize our president. It is the peoples voice that makes him the president and the peoples voice that should change his way of thinking. Plus it just shows that republicans can also be stupid with an education.

This is the most powerful man in the world. How can the American people elect someone like this?
January 13th, 2007 at 4:23 am
bush just proves that in American politics, its not what you know (very little!), but who you know, and how much you are prepared to pay to get the big red button. thank goodness he’s not allowed another go after this one.
Sadly, being British, we have a leader that actually listens to him, and seems to follow obediently. i teach my children to tidy one toy away before starting on another, if bush could do this with wars????

January 13th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
LOL. This is providing me hours of amusement.
January 15th, 2007 at 9:56 am
I see that those who are gullible or war monger are so upset by George’s lame utterances. I for one thing that if Bill could be impeached for a blow job, that BOTH George Walker Bush and The Big DICK Cheney both should be impeached for incompetence and dragging our country into the toilet, let alone an illegal war, and profitting from it.
Long live this gadget. I for one will put it on my page and on my google homepage. And the point is… every time that moron opens his mouth, it’s always his moronic stupidity that supplies the multitude of quotes… Time to renew the picture for the dart board.
January 15th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
I’m as amused by the musings as I am by the presidential “udderances” - like it or not, he is the president and for you die hard conspiracy theorists, like it or not, by our processes, he was ELECTED not appointed - fantastically, TWICE - let’s just all cast informed ballots in 08 and get someone, ANY PARTY or not party at all, who can get this nation on track while we still have a sovereign nation and a handful of international allies. If someone can do that, I can forgive a failing grade in English, grammar, history, biology . . .
January 16th, 2007 at 2:31 am
these are hilarious. i added it to my google homepage but i wonder if it’s possible to take the photo of bush off… a) so i can fit more fun on my homepage, and b) so i don’t have to look at him- i can just read his jackass quotes
January 16th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
The Bush administration is enough to make us all religious fundamentalists-God Save Us & our country from these corrupt, idiotic, warmongering fools (obviously neither the electorate or the bungling splineless democrats are of any use)! Dixie Chicks got it Right-Rock ON!
January 17th, 2007 at 6:08 am
awesome work, i alos have added it to my google homepage
keep it up
this website gives me some of my philosphy quotes, and thpughts of the day - that i live by
January 17th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
1. The American People didn’t elect George Bush. He was appointed by the U.S. Supreme Court after the Florida Secretary of State–chair of his election committee in the state–hired a firm to disqualify voters who were convicted felons. Some 50,000 people were incorrectly struck from the voter rolls, a majority of which were minorities who probably would have voted for Gore. In my own state of georgia, my Senator, a triple amputee from Vietnam War was characterized as unpatriotic and defeated.
2. In 2004, this coward who was AWOL ran for re-election and his minions ran a dirty campaign against a decorated Vietnam veteran (Kerry) and won when Kerry refused to sling mud back.
3. As we used to say about Richard Nixon, “He’s not MY president.”
4. Thanks for your site and your Google add-on. If I didn’t laugh, I’d have to cry that my country is being governed by a religious fundamentalist who doesn’t care about world peace or global warming, because “Jesus is just around the corner.”
January 17th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
bush is such a joke i cannot believe he is in office [crying face inserted here]
January 18th, 2007 at 2:33 am
I LOVE THIS THING!
I put it on my desktop immediately.
For Dahlia Cormont: just click the upper-right MENU and hit COLLAPSE. then you can just punch it up from you desktop any old time.
When writer/musician Kinky Friedman recently ran for Governor of Texas, on of his campaign slogans was, “HOW HARD CAN IT BE?” He was right, of course. Any dolt can do it, as Bush once proved. Just now, he’s doing it to the whole country, and by extrapolation, to the whole world!
“KINKY FRIEDMAN FOR PRESIDENT!” Hell, “BONO FOR PRESIDENT!”
“MORE TREES - LESS BUSH” is a good one, too.

Apparently the President’s antics catch on with his fans. Deperate time? Yes, indeed it’s so desperate you may have to sell your third car to buy an I-phone while Iraqui’s are getting bomb for Haliburton stock owners.
The Generator reminds me of how 1 jackass can manipulate half of the country.
January 18th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
This is a great tool… It reinforces everyday to me why our world is in the state it is. It is unfortunate that the leader of the most powerful nation in the world (arguably in decline) with the capability to help so many chooses war. It is interesting that the U.S. does not have to answer to anyone (the UN general assembly, UN security council, ICC) but somehow everyone must answer to them. Not only do they not answer to anyone, there is blatant lying to get away with this illegal war.
I believe leaders like George W. Bush and the foreign policies of predecessors are to blame for 9/11, and have turned this so called “war on terrorism” into a conquest for resources to maintain the current unsustainable lifestyle we live. In saying this, it should be recognized that all Westerners have exploited these developing nations and the U.S. is not itself fully liable for these injustices; but is the predominant player in this exploitation.
It would be interesting to have the Bush administration provide the families that have lost loved ones in the “war on terror” an explanation on how one of their killers may have been trained in a US boot camp their taxes supported. Or even more importantly, how much money the state has made in the past year due to weapons proliferation with undeveloped nations, in which they fall in the wrong hands frequently. Even more disgusting, is the fact that in many cases there is a history of arming both sides of the conflict; instead of trying to mediate these wars we are better equipping each side to slaughter each other.
**By the way, if you are one of the individuals that turns to Fox news for “balanced news” keep in mind that academic studies have shown that people who watch FOX news are actually more misinformed on important issues than people who do not watch any news at all! Let alone a less partisan station. Any station that ends a news cast everyday with a countdown stating “___ days until George W Bush is re elected” is not “fair and balanced” and is most definitely not allowing you to decide, as they claim. Who knew it was professional and balanced to have Bill O’reilly yell at guests to “shut up” and cut their mic off when they disagree calmly with the Bush Administration?
- you might be interested in seeing the film “Out Foxed” its pretty interesting
Anyways, This is a great thing to have on your home page, it provides some comedy to the current situation.
January 20th, 2007 at 11:29 am
A good bit of fun, if they really are truly the accurate ramblings of a world leader, then Gos help us all.
If they are made up, well it still makes me laugh, so what the hey!
January 23rd, 2007 at 5:58 am
If I were George W Bush, I would have this generator on my google home page. I would also have chimpomatic on my google home page. Then when I screwed up something else I would start a (day-off)raffle for the cabinet member who could predict the exact date and time that it would appear on the page. Then I would appoint Monica Lewinski to “head” the Housing and Urban Development Department. Was that a symbol and a snare drum that I just heard. Either someone got my Monica Lewinski joke or George W spoke again. I love this country.
January 24th, 2007 at 7:59 am
Ok, at first I thought this stuff was made up and just a bit of “artistic freedom” or “poetic license” but I’ve looked a few of them up…

Don’t take it too hard our prime minister - Ehud Ulmert is worse.
To think that these, how shall I call them, lead our countries
January 29th, 2007 at 2:52 am
@ dan (nov 21st) saying it is not true ‘as you are a george fan’ is not really a convincing argument, is it?
seriously, how did he ever get elected as president?? did he even finish elementary school? sometimes you wonder…
January 29th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
There are few things more hilarious than politcal humor - it’s to be taken with a grain of salt however.
People forget all context when judging this President. Bush inherited a declining economy and was the first President to actually had to fight the war on terror. He also was the first President to be faced with a Katrina-type disaster. Iraq is a mess, but change in the Middle east will be paid for in blood, just like change in this country was. One of the most brutal dictators in history is gone(Saddam killed hundreds of thousands), and our country is in good shape. History will be much more kind to Bush than CNN.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:24 am
if I may … I think thats propably why Bush was elected … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCkYfYa8ePI
many of americans dont even know what country starts with U …
that can only happen i United States of America …
January 30th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Re Ken Bagwell’s comments. Indeed could not agree more regarding the political humour however when you are the most powerful man in the world the breadth of influence and the overall implications that go with this office are daunting, therefore taking a grain of salt should not be part of any process regarding this position.
However in light of the incumbents obvious abilities Mr Bush would do well to have a good sized salt mine as part of his portfolio rather than oil wells.
I’m not so sure he is the first president to face a disaster the magnitude of Katrina, President William McKinley in 1900 was there when a hurricane killed 8000 in Texas - of all places.
The many so called conquering armies that have attempted to tame Iraq and failed over the last 3 millennia, when the Brits were there the rhetoric to the public was virtually identical to today. They didn’t get anything out of it either - perhaps BP did.
As far as dictators go Kim Jong-il, Robert Mugabe, Stalin , Mao Ze-Dong to name but a few have a much worse reputation, and the latter eliminated some 50,000,000 to have his way. Sadam the worst - nah, just bad and sitting on a heap of oil.
If history is to be kind to President Bush (the second) then perhaps we will be given the grace to forget him all together, here’s hoping! Since President Bush is banking on technology to pull us through, perhaps a real time grammar and speech checker or if all else fails a bunch of erasers for the FBI!
January 30th, 2007 at 11:31 pm

I am so, so tempted to point out the raging errors in grammar, spelling and well, basic use of incorrect terms but will resist and allow Greg to retain some dignity.
I do, however love the Freudian “moral”. I rest my case…
Many thanks for this enlightening resource and for adding the citation.

Hate him or love him, the world would not be the same without georgie!
February 1st, 2007 at 1:13 am
Funny and in some ways quite worrying. Having done a wiki on dubya, I find that he’s got a B.A for Yale and an M.B.A for Harvard !. Strange such a warlike leader, shirked out of ‘Nam in the Texas Air National Guard though. Perhaps he’s trying to make amends now by starting WIII
February 2nd, 2007 at 10:43 pm
What shoult the World do without our beloved pres?! It would be a very dull place with fewer laughs - but, ofcause, also with fewer tears.
February 3rd, 2007 at 2:09 am
Thank you Julie! Initially, I was going to respond to Greg’s comments. Your comments reflect my thinking quite nicely.
On the other hand …… there’s a wart. It seems unlikely that Greg will even understand your comments. He dosen’t articulate, punctuate or elucidate better than George.
It almost makes me wonder if Greg is an alias. Do you think George has left his mark under a pseudonym? Hmmm…….
February 4th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Those of you whose comments criticise this site are missing the point. Bush should never have come to power in the first place. The USA has setup crusades against all that it deems to be undemocratic and yet your political system contains links with captains of Industry with there own greedy, short-sighted agendas pulling the strings and at the head of it all… a man who is inarticulate and scrared of anything outside his own borders.
World Peace? Not if it isn’t profitable.
I fear for the World. I really do.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:18 am
All I can say is OH MY GOD I can’t believe this man is running the Country; it makes me wish that some one was making up these comments to make him look bad because some one this Miss-educated should not be in any power.
February 8th, 2007 at 7:51 am
I’d love a button that would generate past Bush quotes. One quote is never enough.
February 8th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
sorry abuot the spolling mistakes in my last comment. (Bush sucks).
February 8th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
B.A for Yale and an M.B.A for Harvard…. Were they honorary degrees or did his Dad buy them for him?
February 8th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
I am certainly not a fan of George W. Bush. However, if his unintelligable vernacular was the only thing I had against him, he would be a great president and a great man. Unfortunately there are so many other things that one could point out to discredit him that it’s kind of petty and pointless to use this device to attack him. I mean, some people just have problems with words. Let’s focus our attention on the war in Iraq and the 2500+ unjustifed deaths in our armed forces due to a cause that was based on lies. Let’s discuss the un-republican like spending spree that this man has been on. As republicans, let’s please focus on what we have to do to repare the damage that this man has done to our party. Words are just words and some people just have problems conveying them. I don’t hold this against President Bush because I pick my battles; and believe me, there are many of them worthy of picking.

Re: ABG’s comments
“It almost makes me wonder if Greg is an alias. Do you think George has left his mark under a pseudonym? Hmmm…….”
Yes, ABG, I see your point. Perhaps you’re correct with the pseudonym suspicion, as adding ‘E’ and ‘O’ to GREG creates the potential anagram…GEORGE.
On the other hand, if it is really is George, perhaps his fingers just got lost on the keyboard. A worrying thought about one whose hand hovers over global (and beyond) nuclear devastation. *shudder*

Caligula, the mad Roman emperor, and George Dubya have some things in common
1. The both came to power under somewhat dubious circumstances. Caligula stole the previous Emperor’s ring while he was still alive. George came to power by arrangement with the Supreme Court.
2. They both fought mythical and intangible enemies. Caligula fought the Roman god Neptune and claimed a great victory when he brought back lots of sea shells from the beach. George fights “terror” and maintains his country is at war even though there are no real enemies for Americans to fight.
3. They both incarcerate people for no significant crime. Caligula locked up a senator for constant criticism; the senator eventually ate his mattress as he had nothing to eat. On another occasion Caligula banished peopleto tiny islands and let them go mad. George sends people to Guantanamo and lets them rot in cells with not access to any real legal mechanisms.
The madness of President George is as manifest as the madness of Caligula. I just don’t know how Americans could have voted for him.

Short answer: no.
Not at this time anyway. It can be done, and indeed I spent some time the other night trying to get it to work, but then I got lazy. Another half an hour of fart-arseing around will probably get it working. If I ever get round to it, I’ll post it here.

Typical of you americans to focus on your own losses! I think you can doble that about a hundred times and ask the same question, without the “in our armed forces” part…
February 16th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
Greatest man who ever lived. Sarcasm rules.

February 17th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
To Baron Bjeff on Feb 15…it doesnt matter who the hell they were talking about, they are still dead and when you an American, your likely to be upset about American losses. Deal with it. It’s another friggen Vietnam.

Here’s a WILD idea… what if Bush kept his nose in his own business and poured a ye’re good American tax-payers money into your Education system and Health system and ye’re Police Force, instead of investing “gazillions” in war abroad , then maybe ye’d be all a bit better off… !!! I’m not saying that Sadam shouldn’t have been taken out but… while Bush is very bothered with what’s going on abroad, the U.S.of A. is rapidly going to Hell - God save America!! how about ye save yourselves !
February 22nd, 2007 at 1:38 pm
its not the fact that he got appointed to the presidency by the republican majority supreme court (democracy and seperation of powers my ass),thats frightning. its that so many people voted for him on his second attempt,and in effect elected him. there’s a saying that you get the government or leaders that you deserve. i think thats a little harsh.I think a society must be quite ill and have a very poor standard of education to elect such a man,thats whats frigtening.
February 27th, 2007 at 7:00 am
Proud American embarassed by this president… the king of morons! 1 year, 10 months and 22 days or 694 days left till he’s out of office… and then left the investigations begin: abuse of power; creating false evidence; illegal invasion of a country, profitting from illegal acts; negligent homicide (3155 American lives lost since the illegal war began).
Yup - and the moron keeps opening his stupid yap…
February 27th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
thats the saddest thing,what eddie says above. 3,155 american lives lost. average working class americans losing there lives for the selfish interests of the ‘energy lobby ‘ in american. bush ,cheney and half the secetaries of the departments are just on a job swap in the whitehouse.when the bush reign is over, they all go back to work in the corporate energy sector. its always the working class sent to do the rich man’s fighting,all dressed up in flags and banners,myths and symbols,all dressed up in patriotism and nationalism. 3,155 americans is sad but how many iraq’s?,nobody really knows.

Is it possible that he really is as stupid as he comes off as ? At first i thought this was an act of him being as stupid as he spouts off to be. Now i know its a gift he has for being an idiot.
March 5th, 2007 at 11:21 am
Bush is an idiot.
He’s also a deserter during a time of war (AWOL in his politically-secured stint in the Air National Guard) and was dishonorably discharged (6-month “early out” from the National Guard because they didn’t want to turn an active alcoholic loose in a multi-million dollar jet).
He has achieved nothing on his own in his entire life. Everything he’s been involved with, from Yale to the White House, has been arranged for him by his doting father.
I’m angry at Bush. but I realize I just use him to focus my anger and the people around him who are similarly using him for their own aims. This country has been sold to Big Oil, Big Pharmaceuticals, Big Weapons Makers, Big Mining and Big Banking.
Our environment and education systems have been set back decades. The poor and middle class pay more in taxes while the ultra-rich get tax breaks. We are in the midst of an unnecessary and expensive “war” to take our focus off the problems and felonies perpetrated by the Bush administration.
We have offended most of the world. I am embarrassed to call myself an American. For all of you in other countries, please know that there are large numbers of Americans who are working daily to unseat this humiliating, destructive, greedy power structure. We understand full well the separation of church (if you can call it that) and state.
Bush? Hell, he’s just a pimple on the ass of the problem.
March 6th, 2007 at 1:21 am
I’ve noticed that most, if not all the Bush Quotes are from 2001 and 2002… did he hire someone new to write his speeches ?? or is he still spouting crap? I would assume that he has something prepared when speaking at these conferences or political meetings or even at interviews. Or does the problem arise when he ad-libs or voices he own thoughts ??
PS:
to MAX…loved your comment above - I can just picture it !!
March 6th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
truly awesome! thanks so much! Texas appreciates you! even those of us who have unfortunately moved to Alabama
Bush is really from Maine you know. Texans aren’t intrinsically THAT STUPID. Really, I doubt people from Maine are either. Some unfortunate mutation perhaps…
March 6th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Rick. He really is THAT stupid. He just has better writers now. You should have seen him when he was Governor. He was AWFUL then.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:48 am

It seems that some of yall that haven’t been living with this madman for the last seven years don’t understand the sway he has on idiots.
This country is suffuse with imbeciles who neither care to understand the consequences of their actions, nor to think beyond the immediate. Bush tells idiots what they want to hear, and they vote for him.
I better check the terror alert today, speaking of…

I’ve made scrambled eggs that have a higher IQ than Dubya.
March 13th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Ayal, in my beloved United States of America, your scrambled
egg could be elected president with sufficient corporate funding
and support from the America Israel Public Affairs Committee,
one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the world. Unfortunately,
that scrambled egg would also invade Iraq and help Israel bomb
Iran (coming soon to a theater near you) if AIPAC deemed it
necessary.
And probably, once again, 70% of the American people would fly
their flags from seemingly every front porch and car antenna in
the land, cheering the scrambled egg on to victory, but never blaming themselves for being so uninformed that a scrambled egg could
become president in the first place; and so incredibly naive that a small foreign ally could virtually control our mid-eastern policy with its political blackmail; and so unwise and apathetic that raw corporate greed could control almost every aspect of their lives.
Only after the scrambled egg became thoroughly rotten would Americans
belatedly get a clue, and jump on the anti-scrambled-egg bandwagon. We
Americans, after all, have more important things to think about than a
corrupt government and political system, or insane wars with their unimaginable destruction, mayhem and death: There’s Anna Nichole,
for example, and ‘American Idol,’ the basketball playoffs, the mall, some
moronic sitcom….let the pros sweat the small stuff.
Gotta run, Ayal, my scrambled eggs are done.

Love the quotes. Republicans can laught too! Of couse, it is usually about global warming summits that get called off due to blizzards. Or people who thing the absence of war is peace. (think on it a while libs!)
Hey, if Billary gets elected you can always change to the daily lie generator! Keep the laughs coming!!
March 15th, 2007 at 9:57 am
Hey yall are all liberal fagots…. Don`t hate the republicans because were obviously better. Yes G.W has made mistakes . Who doesn`t? Just because he is the president doesn`t mean he is perfect. So everyone on here with no life should fuck off, and try to get one. thank you.
March 16th, 2007 at 2:45 am
ok whether you’re left wing liberal right wing republican whateva I don’t care but hey, you gotta admit that Bush is an idiot commo’n.
it’s like a carrot is orange what’s there to dispute yo?
anyways what I wanted to do is holler at notTHATgeorge - hey : )

RightWinger, congratulations! Admitting you have the disease of
‘rightwing reality-denying-syndrome’ (RRDS) is the first step in getting
cured. I know, I suffered from it before I grew up, but one or two years
of Ronnie Reagan cured me completely. Once cured, you’ll realize:
the world is round; global warming is real; aborting fetuses with bombs,
along with their mothers, is a crime against humanity; and the ‘absence
of war’ means more innocent people are allowed to live out their lives
like you and me, with fewer being forced to live without arms, legs,
or eyes. ‘Keep the laughs coming’ but shed a fear tears for those
who were sacrificed…..they’re not laughing.
To Yall_are_all_fags: All Americans are republicans with a small ‘r’
because we have a republican form of democracy. Your Republicans
are the ones with three issues: war, abortion, and gays, as your screen
name suggests. (Sadly, the only good thing about most Democrat
politicians is that they’re not Republican.) Bush’s little ‘mistakes’
include killing thousands of Americans and tens of thousand of
Iraqis, bankrupting America, putting your children and grand-
children in dept, making his corporate friends very, very rich at
our expense, and making the Middle East a far more dangerous place
for everyone there, including our friends the citizens of Israel. But
nobody’s perfect, right?
And Ayal, why holler, so far I agree with everything you’ve said,
except for whatever “ hey : ) ” means. I hope it’s not all bad.
~Question Authority! It’s our right and responsibility.~

This is a great gadget, I love it. .
You have to wonder how foolish this man actually is. He is the President of the US after all, not a bad job. (COmes with an airplane in any case)
Not only that but he did it twice, not just once.
Poeple say his Father helped him… But BIG Bush only managed to hold the presidency for one term!
What a wierd world this has become…
March 20th, 2007 at 1:26 am
Hello,
I really like your site! It makes me laugh at least once a day; thanks for this! Do you know why the quotes posted on Google desktop don’t match the current one posted on your site? I like to be able to copy and paste these, which I can do from your site, but I can’t do it from the Google quote.
Thanks!
March 20th, 2007 at 7:16 am
Stop making fun of unsucsesseful president.
Are quotes suppose to be funny? Not all of them are. Some just do not look like quotes.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:39 am
I cannot belive that he said most of these stuff.
March 21st, 2007 at 2:48 am
To the hard core voters of G.W.: Does it ever make you wonder why he is one of the worlds most hated and ridiculed men? And the disliking is not confined to arabs or liberals - it is a cross-national-cultural movement of anti-bushism. Are republicans cleverer than the rest of the world, then? They probably think they are. Just look at their finest champions: Rumsfeldt (liar & warmonger), Limbaugh (liar & maniac) & the great W. himself (stupid unaware liar & reformed-drunk-born-again-cowboy) - great moral leaders, who dennounce the geneva convetion for the right to torment their enemies, whilst keeping their friends in the arms & oil industry happy. Have faith, the axis of stupidity shall not prevail.
March 21st, 2007 at 3:44 am
Great tool (the quote generator, not Bush). How about adding a “Countdown Calculator” so we can live with hope that this nightmare may soon be over???
March 23rd, 2007 at 9:25 am
It just keeps coming and coming from him. I wonder how he make all those funny phrases!

to kiera’s post from feb 19:
Actually the vast majority of gay people cannot stand Bush since he made history by becoming the 1st president to attempt to amend the constitution to include blatant discrimination against gays. I’m not trying to argue with your underlying point, merely saying you may want to use a metaphor that makes more sense when you talk about Bush admirers.
March 27th, 2007 at 6:12 am
Reagan (Iran-contra) was not a smart guy either, just a better public speaker. In his own narrow way he cared far more about the USA that W.
Quale and now W. How many more Republicans are out there that are not smart enough to do the job. Also the smart one like Cheney is just plain nasty and uncaring. Hillary, Obama, Edwards on and on are far better for our country than any republican who will run for pres. in 2008.
March 28th, 2007 at 9:53 am
George W. Bush, The best reason yet for Canadian citizenship!!!
I love this thing btw!!! It’s so much fun! Jan 20 2009- Hang in there America.
O and just for the record I’m not anti-Bush i’m just pro-intelligence!
March 28th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I think Bush is just a prank.
soon someone will step out with a camera and say
“got ya!”
“You really believed this guy is the president of the U.S.A?!!”

Is it possible to get an html code for this, other than just the javascript? That would be great. Thanx.
March 29th, 2007 at 9:05 am
Fun site. That’s why leaders have to have thick skin. So people who couldn’t lead their way out of a paper bag still have the right to make fun of you. Only in America.
Would like to see any of you have a 9/11 happen, and then try and prevent it from happening again during your watch. I pity the poor jerk who wins the next election and has THAT to compete with.
As for the press, it has NEVER been a balanced press. It CAN’T be. You only have to look at our educational institutes and the instructors teaching the journalism courses to see how liberal the press is. A channel like FOX news just brings our overall perspective back more towards center. The truth always lays somewhere in between.
As for the naysayers, please go back to your day jobs and making fries. Leave running the country up to the professionals who at least have the balls to offer themselves for public service.
George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King and many of our greatest leaders were ridiculed as history was unfolding. The American public, having only the attention span and patience of a gnat can’t even comprehend the significance of what is going on historically right now. Bin Laden was right when he said “We just have to wait to win…the Americans would never have the stomache for an extended war.”
How many of you even VOTED in the last election????
Can’t even live up to your most important responsibility in a democracy, yet you criticize…
March 29th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
hey, i have apsolutly NO respect bush. he’s the puppet on Cheney’s knee, and has been the entire time of his presidency. and believe me, the most important thing for a president to be good at is public speaking. and we all know that he really sucks a that. so what else can he do?…hhm……lets sit and think a bit…..y’know, thats a difficult question!
also, he is a biased, rich, white, christian man who has only ever known the upper class life. so how an we expect him to be good at caring for lower class people? i think he’s done many crimes worth impeaching: ie lying and bribing and purposfully making some people richer than others just because they are his friends.
well, i think alot of people feel the same way i do…
March 30th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Most of the quotes seem to be taken before he was even president. Not that I’m defending him but you wouldn’t publish my algebra skills when I was in 6th grade…
March 30th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Isn’t this a wonderful country?! I love our right to the freedom of speech…. let’s hear it all!!!!
March 31st, 2007 at 1:55 am
The more of the Bush quotes I see the more I can’t believe he was elected, I mean sort of elected. I feel the thing with the few remaining Bush supporters (in some cases with strange adulation) is that they don’t understand how not “a decided” or at least “an understander” of issues he is. He is truly a puppet president with his cronies pulling the stings. He has opinions like a lot of other ignorant people have. Think Archie Bunker.
All I can say is thank goodness the Democrats have control of Congress. Two more years of the “Pretend Cowboy (wanted dead of alive), pretend soldier (mission accomplished) pretend president could have been and still could be even more disastrous to our country and the world. It really depends if Bush and his cronies will bend. They haven’t yet (21,000 more troops for example).
March 31st, 2007 at 5:02 am
when he’s giving speeches, i listen for amusement, not to actually LEARN anything.
March 31st, 2007 at 10:05 am
That’s the problem with you American’s…..you don’t LEARN anything!
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:08 pm
To my fellow Canadian, wtf did you learn? It sure as hell wasn’t spelling. What a complete embarrassment you are leaving a comment like that when you can’t even properly pluralize a damn thing
April 3rd, 2007 at 4:55 pm
Don’t bother answering those that defend W. It’s like trying to teach a pig to sing: it wastes your time and annoys the pig. Great site; but if he was your idiot neighbor, then he’d be funny. As the POTUS, he’s tragic & scary. As for recent quotes: wasn’t the one he made during his malpractice flog pretty recent? The one where he said malpractice insurance was so high, it made “too many OB-GYNS unable to practice their love with women around the country” - I kid you not, I saw & heard him say it. He can’t say all this stuff sober. Although it is hard not to argue back with his defenders when he’s bankrupted this country, mortgaged it off to the highest bidder (China), corrupted the legislative and judicial process to the extent that it’s just an old boys’ patronage club with Condi as hostess, caused hundreds of thousands of deaths through the combination of his hubris and inferiority complex, and… oh heck, they don’t understand any of that high-falutin’ egg-head stuff anyway. NATALIE MAINES ROCKS!!! :o)
April 3rd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
And P.S. I have never missed voting in any election, starting with my first vote for Gerald Ford. The first and only Republican I ever voted for - and the last honorable one to run.
April 3rd, 2007 at 9:52 pm
way to be like the media and edit good stuff to pure shit.
April 4th, 2007 at 2:11 am
What is the good stuff, what got edited out & what is the pure shit? Unclear as to what you refer.
April 4th, 2007 at 7:29 am
d’ya think any1 on this board is a republican?
because even tho every1 here thinks bush is a joke, we might still vote 4 him………..cause people work in odd ways.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
I consider myself a conservative Christian republican. These quotes are undeniably hilarious. George W. Bush, regardless of what the retards say on the left, is the best and ballesyest President this great nation has seen since Teddy Roosevelt.
April 5th, 2007 at 5:17 am
If you are Christian, you believe that you should “love thy neighbor as you love thyself” - which also means not using the word “retard” in a thoughtless and hurtful way (meaning as an insult, forgetting there are actually retarded people whose families don’t appreciate this usage). You also often sport bracelets that say “WWJD?” - but do you ever really think about what this means? Do you really think Jesus would be in favor of this war and its casual attitude towards “collateral damage” - meaning thousands of innocent non-combatant lives? I don’t think bush is a joke. I think he’s a deadly menace. And Joe, it’s no talent to have balls - most stupid men have the standard issue pair. What a president needs is a highly functional brain - and a caring heart wouldn’t hurt either. Both items are usually deficient among those self-identified as “conservative Christian republicans” - most of whom fit the traditional definitions of none of those words. And as for voting for him, Fefe - he has taken this country into a hellish quagmire in every way possible. He is sadly no joke, and the only reason to vote for him would be because you want to destroy this country.
April 5th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
I rest my case regarding the retards on the left! Honor’s reply is a case in point!
Thanks for the validation slick. It’s clear some have no clue to the context the word “ballsyest,” (is it even a real word?), is being used. Let me help you out on this one. The word is used here to mean, “intestinal fortitude; guts; one with backbone. Get it!
And please, don’t even begin to tell me what JESUS WOULD DO OR THINK! Throughout scripture it is abundantly clear to those whom He reveals it to. Those who do read the bible know exactly how the story ends. It is not with negotiations, capitulation or compromise! The world hates George W. Bush for one reason only, he told the world he believes in Jesus Christ during the 2000 elections! To you and everyone of your ilk, Christians should be seen and not heard. And I’m pretty sure, if you really had a choice, not even seen. There are some Christians who are bold as lions when the need arises. George W. Bush is one of them and God bless him.
The quotes are still funny regardless!
April 6th, 2007 at 9:32 am
I just got back from a one month trip to Europe. If you think Americans think George Bush is dumb, you should hear what Europeans have to say about him. They say not only is he dumbest World Leader who ever lived, they consider him the dumbest Person who ever lived.
April 6th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Wow, talk about having no clue - right back atcha, “slick.” Um, DUH, it means guts in the way you used it. I forgot you types only get club over the head humor - my sly little dig(”all stupid men have 2″) went totally over your head. Or was it in one ear, through the yawning chasm, and out the other? Either way, thanks for proving MY point about the no-nothings on the right! And DO read your Bible - Christians are supposed to believe in the NEW Testament, and Jesus clearly said “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” So I guess that big pile of sh - er, stones - that you’ve been casting means you are the Sinless One for whom we have waited! Huzzah!!
April 7th, 2007 at 9:17 am
Can’t resist a P.S. You really must take another look at that Bible of yours, Joe - maybe you can get your money back, because significant portions seem to have been left out. Doesn’t yours have the part where the Romans came to arrest him? When Peter drew his sword and cut off a soldier’s ear, Jesus put his hand out and stayed his arm, and told him not to resist. He also advocated turning the other cheek rather than respond: “But I say to you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek turn to him the other also. And if anyone wants to sue you, and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.” (Matthew 5:39-42) Please read ALL of it, not just the evangelical proves-our-talking-points-greatest-hits selections.
April 9th, 2007 at 4:52 am
well, Bush’s gonna be outa our hair soon……..thank god! but in the meantime, while he’s in the oval office and ripping our government to shreds, let’s just enjoy ourselves and laugh at his ridiculous stupidity.

I rest my case about being a retards! Because I is one!
I’m an oil slick. I use “ballsyest,” (see, I retarded). Let me help you out on this one. The word is used here to mean, low i.q; dumb; like me. Get it!
And please, don’t even begin to tell me how to tie my shoes! The world hates George W. Bush for the same reason, he can’t tie his shoes either! To you and everyone of your ilk, remind me I should not be seen or heard. And I’m pretty sure, if you really had a choice, not even read. There are some Christians who are bold as lions when the need arises. George W. Bush is retarded like me!

What’s amusing to me is that the rabid Bush-haters and radical Bush supporters here sound almost equally deranged, close-minded, and illiterate.
Please stop and try to listen objectively to the rampant idiocy many of you are spouting instead of glibly assuming it is all coming from a single direction. Trust me, it’s not.
PS-love the quotes.
April 12th, 2007 at 6:56 am
i would kinda like to meet him—see him myself. i bet he’s nice but when he speaks publicly he just flopps!
April 13th, 2007 at 11:57 am
It really doesn’t matter what a person is like when you meet them. What matters is the policies they support, the laws they sign into place, and the worldview, beliefs and philosophy that guide their decisions. Ted Kennedy (whom I’ve met) is a major jerk, but the legislation he supports and creates helps make people’s lives better. Shrub, on the other hand, affects this good-old-boy persona - and I do have a family member that’s good friends with him - but the policies he supports and the things he’s done as president have created much misery. I don’t care if someone is fun to “have a beer with” - I care if they cut funding for programs that help people while pouring billions down a bottomless rathole called Iraq.

Hello, save some beer for me–it’s hard to get good beer in Taiwan!
I’m an English teacher on this island, and I’ve got a blog for my college freshmen’s writing class. I wanted to find some good examples of how to avoid bad English, and your site has proved a great source! Thank you so much. Do you collect these quotes yourself, or cull the “Bushism” type sites for them? Either way, this way of providing daily quotes is excellent and helpful.
I don’t have an opinion about how intelligent he actually is (I’m lying), but at any rate his poor speaking skills give him the appearance of a dolt. This is most unfortunate, as the President is, to a large extent, the “packaging” of a country for the time he’s in office, and it’s been a long time since America’s packaging has made me want to buy! Let’s see. . .a criminal, a forgetful entertainer, a wimp, an adulterer, and this current lump of horse doody. Sorry to list the stereotypes, but that’s the way they’re seen from overseas. Taiwan has lots to learn about presenting itself as a credible country and member of the international community, too, but the USA has not proved a great model lately, though nobody dares doubt that America is, at least, a country with the “macho” attitude of a bully who will beat that doubt out of anyone who dares sneer. The USA is to national chauvinism, possibly, what Disney is to copyright protection.
Well, back to the dissertation. I guess I’m a bit groggy; I just woke up!

‘Yall are all fags’ said “Hey yall are all liberal fagots…. Don`t hate the republicans because were obviously better. Yes G.W has made mistakes . Who doesn`t? Just because he is the president doesn`t mean he is perfect. So everyone on here with no life should f*** off, and try to get one. thank you” (sic)
Yes, we do all make mistakes ‘Yall’, but few of us have the incredible influence on the lives of the people of the world that the POTUS does. The wording of your sentence “Don`t hate the republicans because were (sic) obviously better” reminds me of many a childhood day spent in the playground at school, with the oft-heard “my dad can fight your dad!” ringing out across the throng. Ah, those were the days!
I would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that I, along with the majority of people who submit here, do indeed ‘have a life’. I am making the most of mine by educating myself as much as possible. I’d recommend it.
Educated as I am, I must admit fail to comprehend something; why you think that using offensive language and insults will change the opinion of anyone that disagrees with you. Perhaps that is a lack on my part. I happen to think that such resorts are a poor substitute for a lack of vocabulary and a weak argument. Am I alone?
May I be so bold as to suggest that you might try using a spell-checker before submitting? I know they’re not perfect but they do help.
April 17th, 2007 at 2:40 am
hurray! I 100% agree with “Honor”….I am a native of MA and has also met Ted Kennedy. He is an obnoxious jerk, but he has done a great job for the citizen’s of Massachusetts.
April 17th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
I don’t hate republicans or democrats i just want a president who has a proper education and who knows where most of the people stand i think its time for some one whose is not rich or greedy and has some level of harsh times in his or her life because lets face it Bush growing with a rich spoiling family has no idea what it takes to do anything outside politics and oil and he seems to be failing us in the area of politics.

Bush isn’t stupid. Bush is unwise.
Effective public speaking is only loosely related to intelligence.
I enjoy the quotes because they are funny in and of themselves, not because I think the speaker is an idiot. The fact is, Bush has a MBA from a prestigious school. He has managed to become a president. No Bush isn’t stupid. However, his policies are unwise. He is also stubborn, and I think that he has committed crimes in the White house and should be impeached.
April 19th, 2007 at 9:07 pm

As a very curious Non-American, I find it bemusing that such a profound gob-sh1te could become president of his local bowling club nevermind his country. How can such a proud great nation have such a misguided pleboid at the helm? Are there any sane Americans still out there? Please somebody tell me that America still has people that actually have passports, that know where Belgium is ( and what Belgium is for that matter), that don’t weigh over 350 lbs, that have never appeared on Rikki Lake, Oprah or Jerry Springer(another fine American Politician), that don’t think every twelve year old should have their own hand gun, that don’t believe that all muslims are evil and that America is here to save the world?? Huh? Anybody? Please tell me there are just normal American People left? Or has the world gone mad altogether?
April 24th, 2007 at 12:37 am
Sorry, this might ramble a little - I apologise in advance.
Bob, I am bemused as to what you mean by ‘has issues’ and ‘SPECIAL’? Just curious…
Darragh, I applaud the employment of the much-maligned term “gob-shite” in this case. I think it’s entirely appropriate.
Josh, I’d love to know how Bush got his MBA and see some of the work he submitted for it, wouldn’t you?
I’m actually visiting the USA in a couple of weeks, for a hard-earned holiday. I have some good friends there and although they are dear, dear friends and people with big hearts. I love them dearly, despite the fact that until I visited their home in North Carolina in 2002, their children, then aged 11 and 13, had no idea what British currency was, no idea that their country’s history started around 1/4 mile from where I grew up, at Washington Old Hall in North East England.
Here’s a snapshot of my experiences there …
Despite the fact my friend does not work, she would take the kids to school in the car, all of a mile, and drop them off a burger and fries for lunch rather than make up a packed lunch… all 4 family members have vehicles now, in addition to the truck her husband uses for his job and a vastly over-sized shiny pick-up truck with cow-horns atop for showing-off purposes. (The kind that makes up for a lack of something else).
I spent 6 weeks putting together a CD Rom with photographs and historical details about places we share - Northumberland County, Durham City; I even researched religion in my area despite the fact I’m an atheist, so I could make a connection with the kids in the school where I was to deliver this presentation. I donated them examples of our currency, everything from a penny up to a £50.00 note ($100 at today’s rate) in the hope it would mean something to them. Afterwards, the first questions I was asked was….”Ma’am, how long does it take you to do your hair?”, “Y’all have McDonalds over there?” and “Where do you buy your clothes?” I, along with the history teacher, despaired.
The over-consumption ethic pervades the lives of ordinary Americans to the point I was fed 2 huge hotdogs at a time for lunch (“Ya can’t have just one! They’re soooo good!” We stopped at Krispy-Kreme on the way to a weekend break and she bought not one doughnut each, but a box of 24 between 5 of us. Very little was home-cooked, everything was take-out and deep fried at that. By the time my 2 weeks was over, my body was crying out for fresh fruit and on arrival at the airport I devoured an apple and 2 oranges from the cafe. I could have cried. My friend morbidly is obese and will never be anything else. Although it’s destroyed any self-confidence she once had, she patently doesn’t know how to be any different.
Several times I have invited the whole family over here to stay with me so they can see how we live – my friend came wit her youngest son once and lost nearly a stone (14 pounds for Americans!) in 10 days, despite eating constantly and never being hungry – it was all fresh, healthy, home-cooked food. But her husband always has a ‘good reason’ not to come. I think it‘s fear.
Until American people are no-longer brainwashed from early childhood with recitals of the Pledge of Allegiance (to a FLAG!), some of them will always remain under its spell. This is a sad reality and not one to blame them for – it’s the regime they live under. Regime…now there’s a word Bush relishes. Is it time for a change?

Good on ya Julie for clearing that up for me!
It would seem that there are indeed no “Normal” Americans left.
Basically because the two adjectives (Normal&Amercian) seem to be contradictory.
How sad…
I just wanted to add that the word “gobshite” should never be maligned. It’s a great word, an Irish word and a word in fact, that only a gobshite would indeed malign. Possibly Ironic? Or should I really be using the “I” word with Americans around? You know how they struggle terribly with the very concept.
Thanks again

Darragh, I think we need a new page for the whole ‘gobshite’ subject. It’s worthy of it. I can see it now… http://www.gobshite.com.
I don’t like to associate the word ‘normal’ with anyone at all. It implies there is a majority that are identical and that just does not exist. Everyone is unique, but influenced by their culture, surroundings and experience. In my opinion, it is this that has created the exaggerated lifestyle of ‘America’.
I am still looking forward to my holiday and meeting ‘real’ Americans. At the end of the day, we are all the same inside.

thanks for the generator - truly sublime humour - with double and triple entendre and although I don’t agree with George’s politics I have to admit that without American support in WW1 and WW2 to the Allies they’d be no freedom to read such a generator and the world’s ability to “have a laugh” at one’s of it’s most powerful men.

Gunna,
WW1 and WW2 are no justification for the current state of modern affairs as far as the Yanks are concerned.
The same could be said about Russia. Without Russian military persistance, the Nazis would have been alot more successful. I don’t hear anybody thankin the Russkies for their support in the great wars.
This whole “America is here to save the world in some kind of holy crusade” thing is very disturbing. It probably stems from opinions like yours that if it hadn’t have been for America etc etc. we all be wiping the boots of Nazi Japanese Muslim Terrorists etc
I think it’s very important that America as a nation and Americans as a people are aware that they becoming more and more unpopular with the rest of the world with each passing day that muppet is in power.
DONT LET THE LIKES OF HIM HAPPEN AGAIN——-VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

julie: i am a healthy american who has good eating habits, i walk whenever possible, and when i eat donuts (rarely) i get only 1! i excersize for about 30mins to 2 1/2 hours EVERYDAY, i am energetic and ell my food is home made. iam a vegetarian, i DO NOT say “y’all”, and i am not fat.
there, rant over.
however, i DO agree with you on the whole thing about SOME people being brainwashed, me not being one of them and we’re all the same inside, no matter about our accent, wieght or looks (or nationality)
fefe
ps: don’t take the rant too seriously, i just wanted to get the point across that not all americans are fat slobs who eat wholy off of mcdonalds.

Hi fefe,
I understand you completely - I don’t see it as a rant, rather a statement which I accept fully. Fortunately, you are not alone by any means; there are countless others too.
It’s comforting to know that, as I suspected, not everyone is drugged with the pledge of allegiance, but use their own minds and rationality. I wish more people would do the same.
As far as Bush is concerned, my feeling is that the world outside America (and there IS one, George!) perceives him as the personification of everything that is bad about the country; he’s greedy, consumerist, poorly educated despite his ‘qualifications’, ignorant and belligerent. He is incapable of communicating with others at his level and they are too scared of his power to make a point if it.
Mr Bush is the self-appointed guardian of the globe and of the Christian faith. Another thing he was not elected for. ‘Freedom’ and ‘Democracy’ are dirty words when being spat from George’s mouth.
April 29th, 2007 at 3:21 am
hear hear! i agree a million times, julie!
April 30th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
I don’t hate Americans, but I do hate ignorance. Amazing how articulate the republican posts are on here. NOT!
Bush needs to sort his own twisted country out before he starts meddling in the middle east. Or perhaps if he actually cared about human rights abuses he could start with Darfur, or what is happening in Guantanamo?
Keep doing your monkey dance G dubya

Oh and the whole patriotism thing is way OTT! I love my country, but I do not believe New Zealanders are superior to anyone else in the world. A life is a life and I find the term “collateral damage” very offensive.
What is happening in Iraq is disgusting & it is being blamed on Iran. How ignorant does the American Administration think we are? America has blood on its hands. How many people died on 9/11? How many people have died in Iraq, lebanon & how many will die in Iran if America goes ahead with it’s plans? Now who are the terrorists???
As human beings we cannot allow this terrorism to continue.

A new quote for you:
“You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 — in 1976,” George W. Bush to the Queen Elizabeth II in the 200th anniversary of the bound between US and Britain.

Thanks for making this Bush quote generator.
America is full of contradictions, we have low ranking primary through high school education when compared to the rest of the industrialized world. But we also have the best science programs in the world. Our Ivy League universities are only rivaled by 4 European universities. We have nutty conservatives and nutty liberals. We have smart conservatives (rare) and we have brilliant liberals (many of the smartest in Europe know it is an honor to come to teach in our Ivy League universities) Britain has Richard Dawkins but America has Daniel Dennett. We are home to creative abundance (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) but we are also home to idiots (KKK members).
Bush represents how too many in America have received a poor “Southern-style” education. Again our lower educational levels are bad so the masses are often tricked into voting for idiots. But what makes someone an American is not necessarily his connection to the masses or his wandering among them. If the rest of the world wants to help us - try exposing our low quality education until the masses in America get embarrassed about that as much as they were embarrassed about the Russian sputnik launch.

just added to my homepage, and it makes me laugh everytime a new quote pops up. Even though i dislike Bush and think he is a dangerous egomaniac i find that i quite like him now because i know he is just gonna come out with something utterly stupid. its sort of endearing even thou
