Dubya to a German mag when asked his best and worst moments as President...
"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch* in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
Bush said the worst moment was September 11 when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
"In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening," Bush said. "I would say that this was the hardest moment, once I had the real picture before my eyes."
911 to catching a perch. Hmm. Ive caught many a fish in my day and while I agree its a good enough feeling (even if its a stocked pond) I wouldnt equate it as the polar opposite of the worst foreign attack on American soil in history. Im curious what registers in the middle of his vast emotional spectrum....jelly beans and gonorrhea?
EE-Aw!!!
*update: apparently what he said was he caught a large mouth bass, and it was lost in translation. Regardless, I stick by my whack.

I think what makes catching a fish the best moment of his presidency is that he didn't screw it up.
well maybe it's the only thing he hasn't been criticized for...........oh wait, that's what we're doing now! oh well, maybe the jelly bean thing will work out.
Daily Kos is saying Bush lied about the perch.

"The only problem is that the world's record for the largest freshwater perch caught is 4 pounds 3 ounces.
So Bush either doubled the world record, and didn't report it, or he's a liar."
everyone lies about fishing and golf. It's not even a lie, it has it's own category "fish tale" tell your commie friends to get over it. besides, maybe the translation in the german paper was wrong, or maybe they daily kos people are lying themselves.
My guess is that like his father not knowing the price of milk, Bush doesnt know his fish (apparently he said bass). Hes a country club sportsman who Im sure has neither had to skin a fish or gut any of his game, heck Secret Service probaly puts the bait on for him.
Hes still better than Kerry (my new motto)
Im going back to defending Bush tommorow. So dont be getting yer pink panties all in a bunch ya commies.
How's this:
"George W Bush is the best Republican president we have ever had."
Who's better? His dad? Nixon?
The guy was owner of the Texas Rangers, and drank two six packs a day til the age of 40. That should count for something.
Is Mark Warner a demo version of W?
Lincoln and Reagan just to name two
Bush said people and fish can peacefully coexist--and then he kills one. There's a moral in there somewhere.
Whoever said he killed the fish? Maybe its a catch and release pond. Your anger betrays you.
