Jon Stewart found the latest nugget of wisdom from President Bush when he was interviewed by Fox News's Neil Cavuto yesterday. In response to a series of questions about how it feels to be called names, Bush responded:
"I have been around long enough to be able to understand how it works and — yes, look, nobody likes to be called names, on the other hand, there is — we have got a bigger enemy than name callers. That is al Qaeda or people losing jobs."
Yup, Bush just equated the unemployed with al Qaeda. Conservatives have always thought that welfare recipients were the real terrorists, I just can't believe that Bush went ahead and said it! Now I know that a tanking economy sunk Bush I's presidency (excuse the pun), but don't you think that W is taking it a bit too far by implicitly declaring war on it? Perhaps he is due for vacation...
