9. I've been saying he's . .

. . the best argument against evolution and intelligent design. Not sure what else is left though.

[wizstars]

31. How about my theory--UNintelligent design!!

...he's perfect proof of it!

(It has long been my theory that God was working in His lab one day, and made a major f**k-up. So he dumped the stew on the third rock from the sun; life started growing from it, so He hosed the place down (hence the Great Flood), but missed one boatload of the stuff, etc. etc. and bush is the end result. It's as good a theory as the intelligent design.)

28. The actual quote (along with a link) was

"If there's one thing that George Bush has done that we should never forget, it's that for us and for our children, he has shattered the myth of white supremacy once and for all" September 22, 2005

The context was a Congressional Black Caucus town hall meeting meeting:

Mr. Rangel's metaphoric linkage of Mr. Bush to the late Theophilus "Bull" Connor - who in 1963 turned fire hoses and attack dogs on blacks, including Martin Luther King Jr., demonstrating in favor of equal rights - met with wild applause and cheering at a Congressional Black Caucus town hall meeting, part of the organization's 35th Annual Legislative Conference.

Yesterday's town hall meeting was a highlight of the four-day conference, which today will feature an anti-Iraq-war forum with a roving, protesting anti-war mother, Cindy Sheehan; a prominent New York black activist, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and a former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Kweisi Mfume. The conference culminates in a gala tomorrow evening.

Mr. Rangel, a Democrat who has represented Harlem for almost 35 years, spent his portion of yesterday's forum reminiscing about the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, and calling on his audience to undertake similar action today, inciting them to "revolution" after the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina and particularly its impact on indigent blacks in the Gulf Coast region.

The storm, he said, showed that "if you're black in this country, and you're poor in this country, it's not an inconvenience - it's a death sentence." Denouncing Mr. Bush for waging "a war that we cannot win under any stretch of our imagination" instead of providing for those devastated by the hurricane, Mr. Rangel left his audience with a parting thought.

"If there's one thing that George Bush has done that we should never forget, it's that for us and for our children, he has shattered the myth of white supremacy once and for all," the congressman said.

edited to add: I stand corrected, that quote was attributed Rangel in the Washington Post story that was quoting an interview Charlie did with a NY station. But there is more to the quote.

But there was nothing inadvertent about a quip from Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.), second-most senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Rangel was interviewed on New York Public Television WLIW21 last Monday night and asked for his quick reaction to various people. The first was Bush.

"Well," Rangel said. "I really think that he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all; it shows that, in this great country, anybody can become president."

34. I think you misquote; this is the orginal

"More than any other President that I can think of, you have really, truly shattered the myth of white supremacy," Rangel told a Bush impersonator during "Laughing Liberally," a traveling lefty comedy show that stopped at Town Hall.
