MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

This is a poem made up entirely of actual quotations from
George W. Bush. They have been arranged only for aesthetic
purposes, by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked,
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg
of opportunity.

I know that the human being
and the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!

Not sure exactly... but I recall that he was raked over the
coals for that one before this. One of the Slate editors was
keeping a running log of Bushisms.

I think it was in context of opportunity for all.... he
wants everyone to get a bigger slice of pie without cutting
into the slices going to his evil rich buddies, so make the
pie higher.

Here is a list of quotes with sources...
