Great "Bushisms" from 2005...

I'm torn on whether this should be in News or Entertainment, but love him or hate him, The President does say some interesting things...

"Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" is widely considered U.S. President George W. Bush's most memorable phrase of 2005.

Bush has created such wonderful words as "misunderestimate" (to dramatically underestimate) and "embetter" (to make better).

More memorable quotes:

''Those who enter the country illegally violate the law.''

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

"I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?"

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."

"In terms of timetables, as quickly as possible - whatever that means."


One of the smartest things the administrations does is keep him out of ad lib situations as much as possible.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a few of those quotes. On the other hand, who the heck is Brownie and I'm hoping it's not what I think it is.

Funny stuff, but sadly true.

"Brownie" is the former FEMA head. The comment was made shortly before that whole hurricane recovery thing came apart.
