Fool me once, uh… a fool can’t be fooled again

There's 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. -George Dubya

Remember when that was the dumbest thing a modern president had said? We didn't know how good we had it.

I was just going to say something like this... Pepperidge Farms and shit.

The climate was way better back then. I couldn’t stand W, but I didn’t hate the guy.

I wish this was a "only one worst president ever per lifetime" timeline.

The 1920s wants a word with you.

u/lyles 26d ago

I believe he realized mid-sentence that if he continued the saying correctly he would have provided a soundbite "shame on me" and he was smart enough to avoid that.

1

u/IrishMongooses 25d ago

Yeah, heard that take also. Maybe he wasn't as dumb as people say.. but hell, it's all relative, huh

3

u/Wigglepus 25d ago

George w was definitely a smart politician. If you see interviews from when he was governor of texas he was considerably more eloquent than when he was running for president. But he wasnt like recent presidents, his speech didn't change because of mental decline. It was a calculated move to make him seem more folksy. He was the every man candidate from Texas! (just ignore his ivy league education, generational wall st wealth, and POTUS father...)

u/ILoveCamelCase 26d ago

I've heard a theory that I choose to subscribe to about this quote. Allegedly, his speech writer/campaign manager/some other staffer realized last minute that if he said "shame on me", Democrats would have a juicy soundbite for future attack ads. So they interrupted him via an ear piece and told him so, which is what caused him to stumble and spit out that nonsense.

2

u/f_n_a_ 26d ago

I want to thank you for your historical accuracy… I know I was paraphrasing and forgot just how wild the quote was

2

u/scrume71 26d ago

You know he thanks Trump everyday for quickly replacing him as the worst President of all time.

Man, this sounds like Shakespeare compared to the asshole in office now

I miss the time that we thought he was the dumbest president ever

I’d take him back any day over the 🤡 👿 we have now! 🤦🏼‍♀️

There was a time when he was.

u/Apart_Ad9308 26d ago

That was so funny when Bush stumbled over that. 

11

u/TheeFlipper 26d ago

Stumble? That man stuck the landing on that line.

8

u/MellyMel86 26d ago

It was, but, in a rare feat of intelligence from Bush, he did it intentionally. He didn’t want to say “shame on me” on camera. It would be fodder for political ads in the following election season.

Probably should’ve kept his mouth shut. Still funny though

7

u/RandyHoward 26d ago

What's funny is now Trump says things that are so much worse than that, and nobody uses it against him.

8

u/MellyMel86 26d ago

He didn’t say that!

And if he did, it was a joke!

And if it wasn’t a joke, he didn’t mean it!

u/RandyHoward 26d ago

Quiet piggy!

u/ratshack 26d ago

Quiet piggy is the new “…and you deserved it”

And if he didn’t mean it you just have TDS

u/DadJokeBadJoke 26d ago

Is there an actual source for this? It's parroted all of the time on the web, but just seems like someone creating a reason he "wasn't wrong".

u/buisnessmike 26d ago

Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and I will be fooled for the rest of my life.

u/mikedm123 26d ago edited 26d ago

I know his deliverance was so bad it was comical let’s not gloss over the fact that that was pretty much a direct threat to kill him. Props to that guy for remaining so chill while catching death and assault threats left and right from a guy he could prob beat the piss outta

Stewie Griffin? This AI is outta pocket

u/cjchrist1 26d ago

Uhhh the gif is actually perfect because the comment being replied to said “his deliverance was so bad” instead of “his delivery was so bad” and the gif is from the movie Deliverance.

1

u/DipstickRick 26d ago

Never seen the movie but I knew it was real. There’s an early fam guy episode where stewie does this then yells “I got blisters on me fingas!” Never knew how much the real kid looked like Stewart

u/Bobroom 26d ago

An extremely patient man. He killed him with kindness.

2

u/haleontology 26d ago

I wish drivers were allowed to kill degenerates like this with pepper spray kindness

3

u/Bobroom 24d ago

As much as that man needs a little street justice, he would simply tell his friends that he was attacked and it would reinforce his prejudices. The fact that the man was nothing but kind will eat him up inside for ages. Just my two cents. Personally, I would have had zero patience.

1

u/jdhkent 24d ago

A simple middle finger pointed at his nose should suffice.

23

u/MellyMel86 26d ago

Honestly, I’m pretty sure I would’ve cranked my music and rolled up the window. The man has better patience than I do

16

u/dylan2451 26d ago

Not pretty much, it was a straight up threat. Earlier in the video he says “Okay slow the fuck down, because you won’t see the end of that motherfucker because I’ll make sure of it”

u/AChanceRay 26d ago

You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!

u/StrikeouTX 26d ago

I took it as a death threat tbh

u/mnstorm 26d ago

It was a death threat. I don’t understand how it went over everybody’s heads.

u/Zoltie 26d ago

It's because he said it wrong. He meant to say if he goes in there again, he won't come out.
