Whats your favourite Bushism?

Answer 1

"I think we all agree, the past is over."

Sorry... I just remembered an even better one:
"Will the highways of the Internet become more few?"

Answer 2

A Bushism is any of a number of peculiar words, phrases, pronunciations, semantic or linguistic errors that have occurred in the public speaking of United States Presidents George H. W. Bush and his son George W. Bush and subsequently used in caricatures of them. The term (a neologism) has become part of popular folklore and is the basis of a number of websites and published books.
