The. Greatest. Bush. Quote. Ever.

POPLAR BLUFF -- U.S. President George W. Bush offered an unexpected reason on Monday for cracking down on frivolous medical lawsuits: "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

The Republican president, long known for verbal and grammatical lapses, included the anecdote about obstetrician gynecologists in his stump speech attacking Democratic presidential rival Sen. John Kerry and his running mate, Sen. John Edwards, a former trial lawyer.

At a rally of cheering supporters in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Bush made his usual pitch for limiting "frivolous lawsuits" that he said drive up the cost of health care and run doctors out of business.

But then he added, "We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

Unfazed, Bush went on to deride his rivals as "pro-trial lawyer," and concluded, "I think you've got to make a choice. My opponent made his choice, and he put him on the ticket. I made my choice. I'm for medical liability reform now."

I couldn't stop laughing when i heard that on Jay Leno the other night.

However, rather a not so eloquent President than a flip flopper.

Whoa.

Defining Bush as "not so eloquent" is like defining Enron as "not so ethical".

G. W. and Yogi are first cousins I think!

Yogi once said about Yankee Stadium's Right Field; "It gets late early out there"

No, the over-privledged dum-dum got cut.

His only real skill lies with, ironically enough, lying. Perhaps he's related to Nixon or Billy?

I really have to feel sorry for the poor old boy Kerry. He sure had it rough growing up. I ain't no Bush fan---but a couple of lawyers don't really excite me!
