Remembering George W. Bush and the Love of OB-GYNs

On the final day of George W. Bush's presidency, we bid farewell not only to eight years of failed policies but to gaffes like this gem:

At a rally of cheering supporters in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Bush made his usual pitch for limiting "frivolous lawsuits" that he said drive up the cost of health care and run doctors out of business.

But then he added, "We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

What's your favorite Bushism?
