"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, who is still very much alive, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007

...but it' simply because there isn't always very much to boast about.

I can see what he means, sometimes I wonder where Nelson Mandela is...

I don't even UNDERSTAND that quote...what the hell was he thinking?!?!?!? God....can we please get a smart president next time around?

Can you imagine what Nelson Mandela must think of this??

[erotophobic]

He was trying to speak metaphorically. As in, Saddam killed all the Mandelas of the world. Unfortunately his extemporaneous speaking abilities backfired into total ridiculous hilarity.

I wonder if this would translate well to MS Paint.

Our leaders do not define us.
George W. Bush is not the United States of America.
Mr. Miller is not Edward Little High School.
