B*sh today in NY : "CHILDRENS do learn when standards are high..."
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 12:22 PM by npincus
Just heard this on AAR... Chimpy talking about success of 'No Child Left Behind" this morning....

ON EDIT: :rofl: found it!!:


http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/09/thanks-to-bush-.html

Update at 12:12 p.m. ET: USA TODAY's David Jackson reports that the president had another grammatical hiccup today - at an education event, no less.

Urging Congress to re-authorize the No Child Left Behind act, Bush touted a recent report on improved test scores by saying: "As yesterday's positive Report Card shows, CHILDRENS do learn when standards are high and results are measured."

Bush spoke at a made-for-media event at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, attended by Mayor Mike Bloomberg, School Chancellor Joel Klein, and about 20 kids from a local public school.

The comment echoed the anti-Bush book entitled Is Our Children Learning?, written by Democratic consultant Paul Begala. But beyond reporters' tape recorders, the flub may not be captured for posterity. The official White House transcript reads: "As yesterday's positive Report Card shows, children do learn when standards are high and results are measured."

Another famous hungover drunk quote!
"Shaddam killed all th'mandelas"

I sleep better at night knowing an idiot drunk has the football to security for our nation! Do you? :sarcasm:

Make the pie higher
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree
The past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.
It’s a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?

How many hands
Have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pant leg
Of opportunity.
I know that the human being
And the fish
Can coexist.

Families is where our nation
Finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
