I remember when dubya was in charge it was a global meme how stupid he was. I heard some clip of a speech he made a while back and god damn did he sound coherent and respectable compared to what we have today.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you.’ Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
It was absolutely ridiculous that he said that. Full stop. No politician should mess that up that badly.
But, I’ve heard people theorizing that, somewhere in the middle of the sentence, he realized that telling the world “fool me twice, shame on me” would have been a disastrous PR nightmare, so he tried to bail out.

The bar has lowered so much its unbelievable.

There’s plenty more where that came from
I remember seeing a bobble head of Bush that would sing “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen”

Oh it’s not even the worst one on the page
