> George W. Bush was president for eight years, some say eight long years

> Had George W. Bush made a clumsy joke at the expense of the Special

> If George W. Bush had given an iPod to the Queen of England containing

> If George W. Bush had visited Austria and referred to "the Austrian

>
> If George W. Bush had appointed (several) people to high places whose
