"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures."
George W Bush
[US News & World Report, January 2000]

people will poke fun at anything that man says, i swear. that sentence isn't even one of his funny ones.

Well for someone who is basically the leader of the free world , reading books because they have "fantastic pictures" really doesnt fill me with confidence.

The English are so snobby.  They think all us American are idiots.  One time, one of them said to me "Oh, I'll bet you don't even know what the capital of England is", so I say "Well, I can do this by process of elimination.  First of all, it's not Berlin, and I'm pretty sure that that's because of us!"

Reading it isn't as funny as how he said it, but I thought this was pretty funny.
