Reporter: "What can you tell people like Rush Limbaugh that would assure them Harriet Meirs is as conservative as Justices Thomas and Scalia?" Bush: "Well, I hope they're watching. I think uh it's important uh uh to appoint somebody uh uh from outside the judicial process and therefore there's not a lot of opinions for people to look at." I think a better question for Bush would have been "Mr. Bush, how did a dumbass such as yourself ever get to the White House?" I know the answer to that: there are a lot of people in this country who are fearful of intelligence, and as long as a politician is willing to portray himself as "yeah, I'm dumb, but I believe in Jesus" that's good for them.

everybody says stupid stuff constantly. sometimes i say stuff so stupid i cant believe it. i am glad nobody is quoting me and recording my words all the time, because you could assemble a powerfully stupid list of quotes from my mouth. not that bush is einstein, he isnt. but he is smart. he is a terribly bad speaker. some people just are not good at some things. i cant remember my multiplcation tables. bush cant speak as well as many politicians. i dont have much trouble with his intelligence when it comes to managing the country. from what i have heard, he comes off as very smart and charming if you know him. that may be true. speaking can be difficult sometimes, even if you are confident and knowledgeable about the topic you are discussing. a good speaker is nice, but i would rather have a good president.
Don't bother, it was just a joke. I recognize about half of those statements as actual Dan Quayle quotes.
