Lol a little off topic but I love how Bush’s idiot mouth has ruined the “fool me once” idiom forever

What happened, most likely, is he screwed it up because he realized he couldn't say "shame on me" without it being a soundbite on every news outlet. Better to appear dumb than personally apologetic to a national tragedy.

I dunno. Do you remember all the insane shit that came out of his mouth? He was born an idiot, he was groomed and allowed to be his idiot self, and he was handed the presidency as an idiot. His whole life was led as an idiot. I don’t think he had more foresight than the advisors and speech writers in the moment of answering the question.

And look at the way he started the sentence: “there’s an old saying in Texas—maybe in Tennessee but probably in Texas—fool me once shame on…shame on you. F-…fool me…fool me can’t get fooled again.”

The whole thing was coming out in slops and stutters before he even got to the idiom itself. Corporate media is pretty goddamn low down, but even they wouldn’t splice an incredibly well-known idiom to just repeat him saying “shame on me.”

Ha I’m glad someone picked up what I was putting down there.

I didn’t wanna have to go back and look at the video of the turds falling out of Bush’s mouth again, but I finally did:

"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 can’t get fooled again’

Wow. I was shockingly close for not having heard that audio since 2006 or so:

“there’s an old saying in Texas—maybe in Tennessee but probably in Texas—fool me once shame on…shame on you. F-…fool me…fool me can’t get fooled again.”

I don’t know if I should be proud of that or cry for the loss of my youth to being angry at that asshole. I absolutely hate how much people seem to have forgotten how terrible the bush admin really was after trump shifted the terribleness window. It’s almost like he became americas kooky grandpa. But I fuckin remember.

There was a massive PR campaign to wash his image. Similar to Bill Gates; a massive amount of money and influence spent washing that complete prick squeaky clean for years. Him and his cronies actively holding back the planets technology for over a decade will never be forgotten.

I’m trying to think of other examples of world figures that have had their images washed and am coming up with nothing so far.
