I'm so happy he has his finger on the nuclear button

The man who can't remember what businesses he has a share in:
(Kerry:)Ladies and gentlemen, that's just not true what he said. The Wall Street Journal said 96 percent of small businesses are not affected at all by my plan.

And you know why he gets that count? The president got $84 from a timber company that owns, and he's counted as a small business. Dick Cheney's counted as a small business. That's how they do things. That's just not right.

BUSH: I own a timber company?

(LAUGHTER)

That's news to me.

(LAUGHTER)

Need some wood?

Though admittedly, it must be hard for him to remember a business that actually makes money:

President Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business owner" under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise.

Or you can just watch Bush giving the Republicans their own version of the Dean Scream. Reminds me of some old Christmas TV listings, in a way.

In honor of the latest Bushism, we've set up a site making fun of George Bush for his strange "Need some wood" comment. We've also set up a store at Cafe Press offering items for sale showing Bush with a wooden head. You can visit www.needsomewood.us. We hope you find this amusing. Let's put Bush on the defensive and make this the quote that follows him for the rest of the campaign! Remember to vote in November!
