Bush: "The definition of success is no terrorist attacks on our country."

Former President George W. Bush addressed about 700 people at a fundraiser for scholarships for the Tarrant County College Foundation Tuesday in downtown Fort Worth.

...

On a strange moment in Iraq: "Remember the guy who threw the shoe? It was the weirdest moment of my presidency. It was like Ted Williams, who said he could see the stitches on the baseball. It was coming at me in slow motion."

On choking on a pretzel: "I woke up and a few minutes later, the crawl across the TV screen says, 'Bush Passes Out Eating Pretzel -- Appears OK.' Hey, when Roosevelt was president, the nation didn't know he used a wheelchair. I couldn't even eat a pretzel."

On being able to walk his dog, Barney, again: "There I was, former President George W. Bush, with a plastic bag in my hand, picking up that which I had been dodging for eight solid years."

Responding to a question about what the U.S. accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan: "The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power...The definition of success is no terrorist attacks on our country."

1. Will he ever think

before he speaks?

2. So by his own definition, he was a failure

Thanks, President Stupidhead. I like how he boils down the entirety of his two illegal wars to "Saddam Hussein is no longer in power." Yup, that's why we went to war, killed all those people, and squandered all that money. Now, instead of Saddam running Iraq, nobody is, and the region is less stable and more corrupt. Heckuva job, you stupid motherfucker.

I mean, he was still new and on vacation and all...somehow, it was Clinton's fault.
