The Presidency of George W Bush saw some of the most defining moments in contemporary history. One would expect him to have gone down in quotations books on subjects like war and the economy. What George W Bush is most quoted for, however, is his famous slip-of-the-tongue. A man of few words and even less sense, comedians everywhere were sad to see his presidency come to an end. That George, he’s so wacky. When he opens his mouth, you never know what sort of strangeness he’s going to unleash on his audience. But that’s what makes him special.
