Funny, many of those quotes were attributed to Al Gore before Bush was elected;

Edited to add: With a little checking, many of these were also attributed to Dan Quayle. Some were stated as jokes that were taken seriously. Although funny, it seems more likely to have come from Quayle as he was extremely uncomfortable speaking in public and more prone to trip over his own tongue.

Very interesting: Two sides to everything eh? Look at how many of the quotes attributed to Bush were also attributed to who would have been President. Change things for you any??? Who really said these things? Did anyone? The yellow highlighted ones were said by whom???

xenaW,
I suspected that many of those statements did not originate with Dubla.
Gawd, Rush Limbaugh was RIGHT. There are people out to destroy Dubla for no other reason than that they hate him, and think he's an illigitimate President.
I support him as my President all the way, and I think he's 100% right with regards to the Iraq problem.
He doesn't "show" that well, though; but "showing" was never a part of the job description in at least MY copy of the US Constitution.
Apparently, some people think that "showing well" is part of the job of being US President. Clinton "showed" very, very well. He was a scumbag, a liar, and possibly a traitor. He and Algore (sic) nearly sold out this country by selling favors to the Communist Chinese, Hari Krishnas (anyone who offered them enough money) The Lincoln Bedroom was always available to the highest bidder. Cigars for salacious use, probably cost extra, though.
I despise these men.

Who made the statement, "I did not have sex with that woman?' I'm having trouble remembering.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rock. Bug

Farkel is correct. Many, many of the quotes herein attributed to Bush actually came from Dan Quayle, some came from Al Gore and a variety of other politicians. In truth, George Bush said very few of the things attributed to him here.
This is an example of the utter irresponsibility of so-called journalists.

I suspect these quotes will continue to be attributed to whoever is unpopular. People are basically opportunistic liars.

"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr.
Yep, that does it for me... the US is obviously in possession of a time machine.
