I always thought that jocks about Bush's limited mental capasity are exagerated. These are phrases from his speeches. Sorry, it's a bit too long.

“Neither in French nor in English nor in Mexican.”
“They didn’t think we were a nation that could conceivably sacrifice for something greater than our self; that we were soft, that we were so self-absorbed and so materialistic that we wouldn’t defend anything we believed in.
