Bad
presidents happen to good people. Amid all the 9/11 anniversary talk about what
will keep us safe, let me suggest that, in a world turned hostile to America,
the smartest message we can send to those beyond our shores is, "We're not with
stupid." -- Bill Maher

I
maintain that ridiculing this president is now the most patriotic thing you can
possibly do. Wait. Let the word go forth to our allies and our enemies alike.
Let them know that there's a whole swath of Americans desperate to distance
themselves from George Bush. And that's just Republicans running for
re-election.-Bill Maher

"The controversial one is this ABC one, 'The Path to 9/11.' The original title was 'Sheiks on a Plane.' This is controversial because apparently, it's very heavily slanted and it blames 9/11 on Bill Clinton. It makes Bush out to be a saint, which is kind of ridiculous because if Bush is gonna be on any ABC program, it should be 'Lost.'." --Bill Maher

Three Brazilian Soldiers
Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning. He told Bush that three
Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's amazement, all of the
color ran from Bush's face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands,
visibly shaken, almost whimpering. Finally, he composed himself and asked
Rumsfeld, "Just exactly how many is a brazillion?"
"The shuttle launch was delayed again. ABC now doing a miniseries blaming the whole thing on Bill Clinton." --Jay Leno

So, while honoring the anniversary of September, 2001, we must also never forget January, 2000. That's when then governor George Bush said, "I know how hard it is to put food on your family." The world changed on 9/11. He didn't. That's why we owe it to ourselves and to our children to never stop pointing out that George W. Bush is a gruesome boob. -- Bill Maher
