Also known as one of the biggest piece of shit.
- The W administration was a who's who of pieces of shit.
  
  And yet quaint in retrospect
  
  Thank god a lot of things have happened since then. Like... Things.
Donald Rumsfeld also holds the record for deflecting the most direct questions if he is a secretly a lizard person: https://youtu.be/qQ8L9OQZs1A
- Hmmm, there's one part of the recording that's edited out right after Louis asks "Did you have more capability to fly it because of your lizard reflexes?" He says "I've got a thought for you..." But what does he say next? Why did they cut it??
  
  Lizard people are able to disrupt electronics like cameras and microphones.
- Probably also the record for 'getting people you have shot in the face to apologize to you on TV'. It only happened once, but it was still weird.
  edit: fuck me I'm getting old, that was Dick Cheney.
- He never answered. Big lizard energy. Love that he did that
Words from the man George W. Bush thought was the right guy for secretary of state:
We know where they are [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.
Is this a known known, or an unknown unknown?
- Deep thoughts from Teflon Don.
  For a brief moment during Bush(Cheney) years, there was this screensaver with some of the more outlandish quotes from his press briefings.
  He had a way with words, and that way was to go nowhere. It was an art form.
- Literally why I ended up on his wiki page. I was googling this as I tried to explain the concept to someone lol
Where’s the $2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS, LEBOWSKI???!!!
I’m so glad he’s dead, what a shit person. That whole administration was terrible and Bush was just a fucking idiot letting it all happen. Conservatives need to lose big in November because their legacy is dead.
Plus he's the one that brought us aspartame. What a guy.
