Answer 3

My favorite Bush quote is not something Bush himself said, but something Karl (the Constitution is a nice list of suggestions) Rove said about Bush during the 2000 campaign, and I quote -

"Governor Bush is the insurgent candidate. He's not from Washington. He's been a governor of a big, successful -- a successful governor of the big state of Texas. He's coming from outside of Washington."
- February 5, 2000

I think a lot of insurgents fighting our troops in Iraq would agree, Bush certainly seems to be on their side.
