"Make the Pie Higher", a poem of GW quotes.
Apologies to any real writers, or for that matter, anyone that can read. May be old news but thought I'd share it. Cracked me up!

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

6. Hard to believe that a population of otherwise reasonably intelligent
people don't see this idiot for what he is.

7. OMG! That's even better than Rumsfeld's 'poetry'!
Clarity

I think what you'll find,
I think what you'll find is,
Whatever it is we do substantively,
There will be near-perfect clarity
    As to what it is.

And it will be known,
And it will be known to the Congress,
And it will be known to you,
Probably before we decide it,
    But it will be known.

—Feb. 28, 2003, Department of Defense briefing

8. Between the two, there works the brain of a average kitchen appliance..
Except I don't like to talk down my toaster that way.

9. Another poem by d.h.rumsfeld
The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
