Bush Quotes (from “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue”)

by Quotations

‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue’ is a popular British BBC Radio 4 comedy panel game in which former ‘Goodies’ Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden, along with Barry Cryer and a special guest, are given “silly things to do” by chairman and national treasure Humphrey Lyttelton. The show is best known perhaps for it’s ultra-difficult round of the ancient game of ‘Mornington Crescent’. However, in one round they had to complete quotations from George W. Bush. Although a radio show, it was too funny …

Funniest show ever to appear on the wireless since I’m sorry I’ll read that again. No coincidence that several of the alumnus are the same.

Hahahahaha! Thanks for putting this together, wagnerian. I suppose Bush makes an easy target, but it’s great to hear Humph again, and the show’s not quite the same now with Jack Dee.

Did you know that there is an ISIHAC section on Facebook where you can play these games?

The only round where the actual answers are just as funny (sometimes funnier) than the panelists’!

he’s one of the funniest wittiest men alive or dead

At that last one, Bush himself had a better finish than the comedians…
Luckily for the world, he is now gone, and the new guy seems relatively intelligent (not that that is always a good thing, but at least we know that if he starts the third world war, he does so on purpose, as opposed to “Senator Bush”, who I honestly believe could accidentally say the wrong thing to Russia and get the cold war back up)

I’d forgotten what a half-wit hilbilly this bloke is. Thank God he’s nowhere near the big red button any longer…

This had me laughing out loud. Shameful that this ignorant jingoist was elected to two terms, but at least we’re rid of him now, and we can have a good laugh at his expense. Unfortunately, a lot of like-minded Americans remain.

I’m so glad he and his kin/ilk are gone (hopefully).
His speeches are obviously ’stupidity incarnate’ in hindsight. But they were treated as the world’s foresight at the time.
At that time, to speak out against it, especially in the early days, labelled people like me as ‘unpatriotic conspiracy theorists’.
I once was an employee of the government of a country that was a member of the ‘coalition of the willing’.
It, now, is no longer a member, but I’m on the scrap heap.
Alas.

hittler was actualy a great public speaker (better than bush), and most germans didnt know about his evil personality

15 zzxzqwq { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

Barry cryer is rubbish

16 dooge83 { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

You know, it’s really ironic that as funny as it sounds to hear him speak inarticulately, he wasn’t even trying to be funny.

It was the German equivalent of the “General Election.” It wasn’t just through shoddy dealings, he actually had a wave of support. A lot of German media adored him. Admittedly, many didn’t. He was like marmite, you either loved him or hated him! People voted for him, and only then did he reveal his sinisterness.

As a question of how Hitler got in, he did have a sizeable vote in Germany in 1932, but not the landslide that saw Thatcher into Downing Street in 1979. How he got in was through shoddy deals with power hungry leaders of other parties, not through the wholesale support of the German people.

19 alexholowczak { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

Then how did they manage to record him saying it?

20 alexholowczak { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

The industry wasn’t really Thatcher’s fault. China could do it much cheaper, so she never really had a chance.

Besides, the Germans voted Hitler in. I think that should stand as the top of the “How did he get in?!” pile.

yeah, i know… more than half of what Bush says isn’t true

22 newsquizfan { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

We don’t write you off! Bush was always going to be a bit curious…and then the war. We all have our governments (yawn)!

You seem nice. Peace and all that from the old world!

23 chriswinnette9 { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

half this shit isnt true

24 firestartertwistedfi { 01.27.10 at 5:33 pm }

Of course the scary thing about bush is not his difficulties with the english language, but persuading half the country that torture was something america could feel entirely comfortable about. although come to think of it britain doesn’t come out of that story too well either so perhaps we should worry about our own backyard before deriding the US.

Gah
I hate being American.
Because I have a sneaking suspicion that the vast majority of the rest of the world just sort-of writes us all off as ignorant.

I promise we’re not all like this.
I happen to be a rather intelligent individual.
Or, well, I like to think so.
Haha
