> [@Inigo Montoya](#): > > Bush is an awful public speaker, but he has done something none of us here could even dream of: He’s become the POTUS–which arguably none of here \*could \* do for want of connections–but more to the point, he’s gotten his way ever since, and will get reelected because he’s SMART enough to appeal to a large portion of the masses he himself has kept confused and disorganized. So _liar + guy with people skills = genius_? I’m inclined to think not. And that’s part of the reason I expect Bush to be at home, clearing the brush at his ranch in a few months. ---

liar + guy with people skills + \*\*sucessfully executed plan for world domination \*\* = \*\*evil \*\* genius I’m giving you an 80% for the math problem unless you can positively identify the coefficient of malice and plot it in concert along the why axis against at least 3 integritudal factors…in accordance with the theory of indeterminancy, of course. ---

> [@George Bush according to RedFury](#): > > “When a drug comes in from Canada, I wanna make sure it cures ya, not kill ya… I’ve got an obligation to make sure our government does everything we can to protect you. And one — my worry is that it looks like it’s from Canada, and it might be from a third world.” Although my kneejerk reaction was to say “Hey! Canada’s not a third-world country!” on calmer analysis Bush might actually have a point. When drugs are ordered trhrough the mail, all kinds of unscrupulous crap can occur, and I don’t doubt some of my slimier countrymen have thought about (or tried) setting up prestigious-looking Canadian drug corporations that exist only on the internet so they can sell snake oil to the Americans. The drug may _look_ like it comes from [a reputable drug company based in] Canada, but you don’t really know. As a minor note, I’d advise Americans who want to buy cheaper Canadian drugs to confirm that reputable people are acutally involved, i.e. making a trip to Canada and confirming that a licensed pharmacist with an actual pharmacy is involved at some point. ---

That is true, but it didn’t stop me from going “Hold on there buddy” when he was ready to get Vaccines from Canada. I know what he meant but it was still a funny moment. “We can’t trust drugs from Canada… but the Canadian vaccines are on their way!” ---

That statements not stupid its funny. It hammers home an obvious point in an amusing circular kind of way. “Fooled me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you won’t get fooled again” Thats stupid. Funny too I guess. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-submit-that-john-kerry-is-just-as-stupid-as-george-bush/269198.md?page=3)
