"Your great-grandkids need to worry about it," Mr. Bush said.

"I don't have any," Ms. Cantrell said.

"Well - you might," Mr. Bush replied.

6. Kind of cool that the NYT printed it.

In the past the media tried to hide his ignorance by re-writing his statements and omitting gems like this. Some people might see this as a planned laugh line but others will read it and go,"Huh?"
