"The President sat down with Charles Gibson for an interview. He admitted to mistakes like being unprepared for how long and difficult the Iraq war would be, and that he shouldn't have gone to war without first asking somebody what WMD stood for."- Jimmy Kimmell

Bush Babbles But Eventually Blurts Out Belief In Evolution

"I think you can have both. I think evolution can — you're getting me way out of my lane here. I'm just a simple president. But it's, I think that God created the earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty and I don't think it's incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution."

But the President-elect says that he still will smoke occasionally. And I remember on Election Day when he smoked John McCain, so it’s true.- David Letterman

Elian Gonzalez attends an event commemorating the anniversary of the campaign "Battle of Ideas" in Cardenas, December 6, 2008. The campaign was launched by Cuba's former President Fidel Castro, while shipwrecked boy Elian Gonzalez became the center of an international custody battle between Cuba's government and anti-Castro exiles in Miami. It was a political victory for Castro who led a crusade to bring the Gonzalez home, mobilizing millions of Cubans in rallies that bolstered support for his government. Photo/Marisol Ruiz Soto/AIN
