Bush has two regrets ...

... Here are another 37

Wish I'd been a little more awesome.

In an interview on Veterans Day, President Bush was asked to reflect on his regrets over his two terms in office. Bush said he regrets, "saying some things I shouldn't have said, like "dead or alive" and "bring em on." Bush also said he wishes he hadn't spoken in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner to declare an end to major combat operations in Iraq in 2003.

Okay, that's two!


Looks like he needs help with the others, so here is a brief list of some (thirty-seven) of the things Bush should probably be regretting right about now.

A List Of Stuff George Bush Should Regret

  1. His existence
  2. His decision to go into politics
  3. Not learning how to better run oil companies so he wouldn't have to go into politics
  4. His decision to run for president
  5. His decision to run for a second term as president
  6. Every word spoken into a microphone since January 20th, 2001
  7. That time in 2001 when he shouted at Dick Cheney, "You know what, screw it. You run the country if you're so smart!"
  8. Ignoring the way Alberto Gonzales was always saying, "Geneva Convention, Schmeneva Schmonvention!"
  9. Those times when he let Donald Rumsfeld make decisions
  10. Revealing the identity of a covert CIA operative. Not cool!

  15. Not learning how to keep from smirking while addressing the nation about certain issues, such as Katrina
  16. Not figuring out how to control the weather to keep Katrina from happening
  17. Not giving more people hilarious nicknames, like "Turd Blossom"
  18. That "Iraq" kerfuffle
  19. Not giving more speeches in front of banners that read, "Danger: Under Construction" or "Not Finished" or "This Mission is going to take at least six or seven years, if we're lucky!"
  20. Saying, "all right Harriet, you've talked me into it."
  21. Never really savoring the good moments.
  22. Giving up alcohol

  30. Thinking, what the heck, it's just a pretzel
  31. Not flipping the bird more often at Cindy Sheehan from behind the tinted windows of his passing limo
  32. Not taking it as a bad sign that Karl Rove has a forked tongue
  33. Responding to a report titled "Osama Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside The United States" by repeating the title in a mocking, high-pitched voice that made Cheney laugh real hard
  34. Not saying, "Brownie, we should sit down for a performance review in the next week or so"
  35. Not calling it, "No Super-Gifted Child Left Behind"
  36. Those twenty or twenty-five times when he should have offered his resignation but decided to "wait it out"
