Time to say goodbye

Can you hear that? That is the sound of comics everywhere crying quietly. The butt of so many of their jokes is awkwardly preparing to finally vacate a position he has held since he scammed his way into office so many long moons ago. I am talking of course of the man they call 'Dubya.

I know you're probably sad too. So in honour of a man who defines the term 'Once in a Lifetime' (we hope) why don't you go right now and put on some nostalgic music (Greenday's Good Riddance springs to mind) as we count down 10 of the most profound statements ever unleashed upon the world.



10. 'The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.'

9. 'One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'.'

8. 'I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.'

7. 'A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.'

6. 'I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.'

5. 'For NASA, space is still a high priority.'

4. 'It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.'

3. 'I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the president.'

2. 'There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.'

1. 'Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.'
