There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

I use this Bush quote a lot, everyone thinks I'm an idiot but I just give them a little shit eating smirk, invade Iraq and claim I won prematurely.

I saw George W. Bush at a grocery store in Kennebunkport yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I can’t tell if it’s a Dana Carvey skit, or not.

This is reddit copypasta. Change the name of the famous person and insert whomever.

I thought for some reason this was the Office quote

Supposedly this was because he realized mid-sentence that he was about to hand his opponents a nice clean “shame on me” soundbite to use in all of their smear campaigns. So he panicked and had to make up the second part on the fly.

God, Republicans being worried about sound clips being used against them. What a quaint time the early 2000s was.

Now they out here running against Obama and fighting against democratic speaker of the house Nikki Haley.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we
