前幾集看過美國前總統布什的「語癌」，最後一集我們以「經典中的經典」來回顧吧！
1. People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you.
看到這句，連我也實在忍不住要說粗話了！President Bush，你究竟在說什麼？對着小朋友說我愛你就是幫助打反恐戰？九唔搭八！
2. There is an old saying in Tennessee-I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee-that says, fool me once, shame on-shame on you. Fool me-you can't get fooled again.
真係講到亂晒龍！其實他的quotation應是：Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. （你欺騙我一次，是你不該。你欺騙我第二次，是我活該。）
這幾集所有quotes都是President Bush由1998年至2008年，在他的演說或傳媒對答時所記錄的，連他自己也知道自己老失言而被嘲。他也曾自嘲說：To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States.（那些學業優秀，得到榮譽、獎項、A級成績的同學，幹得好。至於那些C級的同學嘛，我說，你也可以成為美國總統。）
布什系列到此完結，希望同學們不要有樣學樣啦！
