Jim Hightower: Bush-speak was a real hoot
... Of course, most Americans don't care where he goes, as long as he's gone. But I have to concede that, as a columnist who got a lot of mileage out of him, it was good to know him. It's going to seem strange to have a president who is able to speak in complete sentences, containing verbs and everything. Where's the fun in that? ...

"I really appreciate the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce for giving me an opportunity to explain why I have made some of the decisions I have made. My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions" (2007) ...

"I think - tide turning - see, as I remember, I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of - it's easy to see a tide turn" (2006) ...

On his grasp of history: "More than two decades later, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary War coming out any other way" (2007) ...

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office" (2008)."

2. That little sociopath!!!
He's no better than your typical sociopathic criminal who thinks he's smarter than the people in law enforcement.

These guys leave clues all over the place, taunt the cops, and laugh behind their hands, thinking that nobody will ever catch up with them because they're too smart.


given W's seeming utter lack of empathy, I really believe that a minor change in any aspect of his upbringing might have resulted in his becoming a serial killer like Ted Bundy.
