"I'm not going to talk about what I did as a child. What I am going to talk about -- and I am going to say this consistently -- [is that] it is irrelevant what I did 20 to 30 years ago. What's relevant is that I have learned from any mistakes I made. I do not want to send signals to anybody that what Gov. Bush did 30 years ago is cool to try."
--Gov. Bush in an interview with WMUR-TV in New Hampshire, when asked if he had used "drugs, marijuana, cocaine"

"I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a
gun."

"If affirmative action means what I just described, what I'm for,
then I'm for it."

While speaking about KIPP Academy in Houston, Texas during the debate
last night, would-be president Bush said:
"It's a school full of so-called at-risk children. It's how we,
unfortunately, label certain children. It means basically they
can't learn. ... It's one of the best schools in Houston."

... I've been talking to Vicente Fox, the new president of Mexico... I know him... to have gas and oil sent to U.S.... so we'll not depend on foreign oil...

"...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas."


The Texas governor, who spoke passionately of the need for
"plain-spoken Americans in the White House," tried to appear more
Southern gentleman than good-ol' boy as he and running mate Dick
Cheney shook hands with supporters at Naperville North High School
before cantering among the crowd at the city's Last Fling 2000
parade.
But "plain-spoken" took on quite an ironic meaning just before
Bush addressed the estimated 7,500 people who gathered in and
about the makeshift outdoor arena south of the high school.
A live microphone picked up an aside in which Bush described a
New York Times reporter who had written critically of his campaign as
"a major-league ass hole." The microphone also recorded Cheney's
rejoinder of "Oh yeah, he is, big time."
The disparaging words could not be heard by most observers over
the spirited playing of a marching band and the earsplitting roar of
the crowd. Cheney later refused to discuss the incident, saying
only that Bush "made a private comment to me."

George W. Bush's new Web site, www.georgewbush.com, states that the No. 3 priority of the campaign is
"Putting Education First." -- 7/19... Al Kamen, Washington Post

GOV. BUSH: Because the picture on the newspaper. It just seems so un-American to me, the picture of the guy storming the house with a scared little boy there. I talked to my little brother, Jeb ? I haven't told this to many people. But he's the governor of ? I shouldn't call him my little brother ? my brother, Jeb, the great governor of Texas.
JIM LEHRER: Florida.
GOV. BUSH: Florida. The state of the Florida.

from the Washington Post
THE MOST amazing political quote in a politics-saturated weekend came from George W. Bush, in answer to a question about his latest radio advertisements. The ads denounce John McCain for voting against research funds
for breast cancer. But when Mr. Bush was asked if he personally believed that Mr. McCain opposed breast cancer research, he responded, "No, I don't believe that."

"The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case."
? Pella, Iowa, as quoted by the San Antonio Express-News, Jan. 30, 2000

"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?"
? Concord, N.H., Jan. 29, 2000

"The only thing I know about Slovakia is what I learned first-hand from your foreign minister, who came to Texas." ? To a Slovak journalist, quoted by Knight Ridder News Service, June 22/99. Bush's meeting was with Janez Drnovsek, the prime minister of Slovenia.
