"Politics is a dirty business. Hillary Clinton announced she's running for president, and the Republicans are already busy digging up dirt. They found out that once in her lifetime she slept with Bill Clinton." --David Letterman

But this one is especially funny:

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

Nobody beats the master:

"The solution to Iraq -- an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself -- is more than a military mission. Precisely the reason why I sent more troops into Baghdad." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2007

"More than two decades later, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary War coming out any other way." --George W. Bush, Martinsburg, W. Va., July 4, 2007

"I'm going to try to see if I can remember as much to make it sound like I'm smart on the subject." --George W. Bush, answering a question about a possible flu pandemic, Cleveland, July 10, 2007

"I don't particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it." --George W. Bush, Crawford, Texas, Nov. 10, 2007

"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future. "

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world. "

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

Letterman's "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" last night showed Bush saying:

"It will be good for the United States, good for Canada and good for America . . ."

Letterman did the same riffs on Mitt Romney and his looks as he is doing now on McCain. We will truly be in a post-racial period when he starts making jokes about Obama. But we're probably 50 years away from that. It will take that long to get rid of the stereotypes of blacks in the movies and Vaudeville in the early third of the 20th century.

I hope our society will get over it's bigotry and drop the ageism stuff. Many leaders make their best contributions after they pass 65. I think this little boy we have in the White House is evident enough and the Playboy of the Western world before him should have taught us something.
The oldest member of the U.S. Senate got up before his colleagues and pointed his finger and shouted at them to reconsider what they were doing when authorizing Bush's Iraq invasion resolution. He reminded them they would live to regret it while our Lady in Waiting was too immature and inexperienced to know better so that now all she can do is make excuses about the biggest blunder in American history.
