insisted that there was nothing in the August 6, 2001 briefing, which

memo." —David Letterman
"Bush is smart. I
don't think that Bush will ever be impeached, 'cause unlike Clinton,

you believe him?" —Jay Leno

Washington, Republicans announcing that President Bush has no idea who
leaked this CIA agents name to the press. See you got to feel sorry for

his say so.' And now, their only defense is 'He is out of the loop. He
is Bush.'" —Jay Leno

not a moron, that's genius!" —Jay Leno

never followed John Kerry was Vietnam." —Jay Leno

Maher

economic report to Congress President Bush said that the transfer of
