What Will We Do Without George W Bush

I know this is a UK comedy blog, but as the end draws near I have to pay tribute to George W Bush. Not for his political achievements, He started two wars, destroyed the worlds economy, and raised the price of oil to record levels, he is truly evil and the world has been a scary old place under his leadership, and I am sure it will be a much saner safer and less volatile place when we see the back of him, but no matter who takes over. We will loose the richest vein of comedy there has been this century.

Whether we are chuckling at his vacant expression, his massive gaffs or mispronunciations, he will be missed. A quick google search on "George W Bush quotes" gives us page after page of material to laugh at. Here are a few of my favourites.
