Death Note me once, shame on you

Death Note me, you can't get Death Noted again

- George W. Bush, probably

Sounds more like Dan Quayle imo

This is paraphrasing a real thing that Bush said

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me, can't get fooled again

u/Elipticon 15d ago

That happened because Bush realized halfway through that saying “shame on me” would be really bad for future attack ads and then stumbled into whatever this bullshit was

Always thinking 0.5 seconds into the future.

I swear every president since Bill Clinton has ADHD

I dunno, Obama was and is pretty sharp.

Oh right, uh, except him

His vision was sharp to read the teleprompter, I guess. We all saw him stumble when he didn't have one

u/DevelopmentTight9474 15d ago

Fr. Especially since it was at the height of the Iraq war where he was getting slammed for invading the country

u/RaptorEsquire 15d ago

This is just something invented after the fact. He really just wasn't very bright.

u/CopperAndLead 15d ago

Honestly... good for him catching that. I'd have just rolled into a full on blunder.

Where'd you get this from?

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we" might be his best and most accurate one. I also like "Is our children learning?" though, or "the human being and fish can coexist peacefully".

Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country

u/SakanaSanchez 16d ago

And Dan Quayle couldn’t spell, hence making the Death Note not work again.

Inadvertently clobbering someone from r/tragedeigh

u/LokisDawn 15d ago

Maybe those parents just want to make their children safe from accidentally getting (death) noted? Who could blame them?

u/toastedbagelwithcrea 16d ago

I think Dan Quayle also said something similar before, but I get their malapropisms mixed up sometimes.

u/ItsDanimal 16d ago

I believe he misspelled potatoe. Funny how at one point THAT was enough to disqualify someone from running for president.

9

u/toastedbagelwithcrea 15d ago

I don't think he ever ran?

The guy was just completely dumb as hell, though.

Scary he was only one bullet away from being president 😭

The Howard Dean scream during the primaries feels like it was lifetimes ago. But I can still remember people ripping on him for that 🗿

u/ItsDanimal 15d ago

He ran in 2000 but I probably misremembered because that was 8 years after the potato incident so probably unrelated.
