Man, ya'll are thick. If you read the entire quote, it's:

Quote:

I thought an interesting comment was made — somebody said to me, I heard somebody say, “Now, where’s Mandela?” Well, Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.

Translation for all you overly-literal Aspies (who're obviously prowling for another excuse to kick this guy around...): President Bush inartfully asserted that Saddam’s brutal rule over Iraq wiped the country clean of potential democratic reformers — individuals who may have possessed leadership skills like former South African President Nelson Mandela.

:roll:

Yes because Bush can take so much credit for following Mandela’s example. :lol:

1) Didn't read the quote. Someone said he made another verbal mistake. That doesn't phase me. I commented as such and moved on.
2) I don't need any other reasons. He poses as a born and raised native Texan, when he's anything but. Every time he makes a ridiculous blunder, an exaggerated claim, or an overly cocky statement, many people associate that with Texas. Is that sufficient to want him out of office? No, even if he has done sufficient for that. It is enough to strongly dislike the man and to take pleasure in ridiculing him.

That pretty well sums up this thread though.

Even with the mistake in the first post, other posts made subsequently can still have merit.
