Bushism of the Day

"I want to share with you an interesting program—for two reasons, one, it's interesting, and two, my wife thought of it—or has actually been involved with it; she didn't think of it. But she thought of it for this speech."—Washington D.C., Oct. 21, 2008, discussing PlayPumps International, which improves access to clean water in Africa
