Quotes About Bush

There's been a lot of talk about how bad the reporting was, particularly with the George W. Bush Administration after 9/11.

Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirize George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them.

To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn't do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.

The reason is, he immediately canceled the diplomacy and he's pretty much blocked it ever since.

Were she not a friend of Bush, and female, she would never have even been considered.
