George W. Bush birthday is today so we decided to compile some of the former Presidents greatest one-liners. Now George W. Bush wasn’t the best President, he wasn’t even a great speaker, but when it came to political humor he was the king.

For eight years political commentators and comedians alike had plenty of material to run with every time George W. Bush had the mic in his hand. When you talk about Presidential gaffs, W took the cake. There is even a website committed to showing us an entire catalog of George W. Bush quotes. Take a look at some of Bush’s best quotes.
