Bushism of the Day
Bryan CurtisPosted Tuesday, May 29, 2001, at 11:56 AM ET

"If a person doesn't have the capacity that we all want that person to have, I suspect hope is in the far distant future, if at all."--Remarks to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Institute, Washington, D.C., May 22, 2001

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.)
