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.
The rumor i heard is he might not have wanted to have an audio clip of himself saying "shame on me" that could have been used in any other context. But yeah he made himself look like an absolute twat that way. Not the best fast thinker.
And yet he still managed to sound more coherent than president pedo.
Well that's not getting anyone a gold star in the notes.
He was a mere 54 when he became president!
Yeah, Bush was very much faking his dumb hick persona. He needed to offset his Yale and Harvard education to his target demographic. He bought his Texas ranch right before running for office.
The current GOP is a caricature of what he was doing.
Play the idiot, attract real idiots that thinks they are in good company (I don't remember the exact quote).
yup, he needed to obfuscate his origins as a rich family from MAINE, which alot of like some celebrities, lke taylor swift and THE DRUNKARD kid rock.
Just watch clips of Bush when he was governor of Texas. Perfectly articulate, complete sentences and everything. He either had a major stroke in 2000 or it was just an act.
Now Dan Quayle, that dude was a real one.
probably faking it to his dumb hick supporters in texas.
Trump would probably say he invented the old saying itself, just like how he invented the phrase "priming the pump"
Didn't he invent "wagging the dog," too?
Is our children learning? All these years later it seems that the childrens did not learned
Jury is still out if the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
They did make the pie higher though.
