"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it."--Philadelphia, May 14, 2001 (Thanks to John Brooks.)

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.)
