Mine is as follows:
"The trouble with the French is that they have no word for entrepreneur".
Hmmmm :-)

Er...Clive, how can you say entrepreneur isn't a French word? I live in France, and I can assure you it is!

How about this one: -
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
Does it count as a Bushism when he inadvertently tells the truth?

Entrepreneur is not a French word. Neither is cliche. Both are English words and yes, the French do not have a word for entrepreneur.
French words are as follows : -
press, police, parliament, etc. Thousands of them in English.

Right after he signed the veto for the war funding bill, he said they wanted to pinpoint the time when the troops would be withdrawn, and in his next breath he said it would cover a range of from one month or more! He makes statements and in the very next instance he contradicts what he just said! He has told so many lies he can't keep any of it straight any longer! He's completely MAD,and must be removed from office immediately if not sooner! The democrats must not back down on any of this. They must remain firm to the end! It's the only right thing to do now!

BLUERIDGELIVING: I'm Republican and even I think that was hilarious. That would be my favorite ism. When President Bush delivers a speech, I hold my breath as though I am listening to my third grader speak on stage for the first time. Oh, well. I know I couldn't speak before millions of people. I'd fumble my words too.

Too many to list here. But here a few guffaws:
"And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it."— Speaking on National Public Radio, Jan. 29, 2007
"Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die."—speaking with reporters on facing the challenges of war, Washington, D.C., Dec. 7, 2006
"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one."—Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 26, 2006

"Mission Accomplished" regarding the Iraq war. That banner was posted over Bush on the aircraft carrier on May 1, 2003!
But my favorite is in 2003 aboard Air Force 1 Bush confessed "I'm the master of low expectations"

Bonjour, Cava? I liked the one where he tried to attempt to answer a question and he was stuck, like a rabbit in headlights, for an eternity and he stuttered and jibbered his way out of his moment of ataxia. Shocking.

The one that embarrasses me the most was his "Fool me once..." speech, that ended up as the chorus of The Who's "Won't get Fooled Again"
Somebody sew a teleprompt to that man's lapel. He is hopeless!

I like when he takes a simple phrase we learned in grade school and confuses it with a rock song:
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool, uh, um,
Won't get fooled again.

That is my favorite, but I don't know if he is really that dumb. Here are some others.
"I want to bring in more oil from Mexico to reduce our dependence on foreign oil"
"We have to get serious about terrorism, now watch this drive" (while playing golf).
