Bushism of the Day
Jacob WeisbergPosted Wednesday, April 25, 2001, at 3:31 PM ET

"First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country."--On the Kyoto accord in an interview with the Washington Post, April 24, 2001
For more, see "The Complete Bushisms."
Bush on Bushisms!
"Most of you probably didn't know that I have a new book out. Some guy put together a collection of my wit and wisdom--or, as he calls it, my accidental wit and wisdom. [Laughter.] But I'm kind of proud that my words are already in book form."--Radio-Television Correspondents Association dinner, Washington, D.C., March 29, 2001 (Click here for the full transcript.)
