Don't bother, Bush himself has already decided:

Bush: My Best Moment as President Was Catching Largemouth Bass

President George W. Bush says his best moment as president was the time he caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass.

During his more than five years in office, Bush has traveled the world's most impressive cities, met with world leaders and entertained celebrities.

But when the German newspaper Bild asked him to name his best and worst moments as president, Bush gave an offbeat answer about the best moment, while giving a more predictable response about his worst.

"The most awful moment was September the 11th, 2001," Bush said, adding that it took time to understand the depth of the terrorist attacks on the United States. "I would say the toughest moment of all was after the whole reality sunk in and I was trying to help the nation understand what was going on, and at the same time, be empathetic for those who had lost lives."

Bush admitted it was not easy to pick a best moment because "I've had a lot of great moments," according to a transcript of the Friday interview released Sunday.

"I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass on my lake," Bush said, laughing.

Moderators warning: cease and desist from these penis gallergy comments, please. Next time, I axe your post.

Bush is the greatest man to ever live... case closed.

Not to defend him, but he makes fun of himself all the time. Isn't he just kidding?

I think so, but if I was him I would choose my words more carefully.

I happen to live 12 miles away from the Presidents ranch and a 7 1/2 lb large mouth is awesome! I caught a 5 lb'er the other day off the tributary just 4 miles from his house.

Hey now... don't get to critical here...

As a fisherman I can say... a 7.5 pound bass is pretty damn impressive in anyone's book. Not many people can make that claim

But, seriously I can't help but like the guy even though he's an idiot. I think being a redneck is part of it ( great minds think alike? ).

When he choked on the pretzel, did I ever tell you guys my theory on that one?

It hasn't happened yet.

We'll have to wait until November 4, 2008 for that.

When he "wins" his 3rd term?

clemson357 · 05-19-2006, 10:45 PM

I would say the best moment was when he got re-elected. That was my personal favorite anyway.
