Asked whether he was still the same person after being president, Bush said, "I didn't change my basic values."
 

"I loved my wife then. I love her now. I realize my most important job was to be a loving father, and it is still my most important job. I believed in an almighty, then my belief has been strengthened. You've got to say I'm a little wiser. My knowledge of the world is more profound,"

 

 

 

 

 

When the hyperpartisan Newt Gingrich says you’ve gone too far, you’ve really gone too far.

"And speaking on ABC's Sunday morning show, 'This Week,' John McCain said that Sarah Palin could not necessarily count on his support if she runs for president in 2012. McCain said 'we have some other great, young governors out there.' Yeah, too bad he didn't pick one of them to run with." --Jay Leno

 

 

Another Bush Waiting His Turn

When a journalist throws his shoes at the President, if you’re a late night talk show host, you go, “Aaahhh!” Good times. It’s like when Cheney shot his lawyer. You go: “Aaaahhhh! Well, that’s tonight’s show taken care of.”- Craig Ferguson

If you're not going to give police your real last name, you might not want to have it tattooed on your neck. Darnell Frazier is shown in a photograph released by St Paul Police Dept., Ramsey County, Minnesota. Frazier said his name was Darnell Lewis when questioned by a police officer for jaywalking. The officer noticed the name Frazier tattooed on his neck and found that there were two outstanding warrants on him. In 2002, Frazier pleaded guilty to the Sept. 20, 2001, burglary of an Arab-owned convenience store in St. Paul — a crime his accomplice told police was revenge for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
