What Bush Finds Interesting

Our Last Call editors sometimes come up with things that just can't have justice done to them in 10 words or less. All of these are recent quotes from Pres. Bush

One of the interesting things about President Kagame's government is there is more women in his government than anywhere else in Africa.

The interesting thing about Rwanda today is that you have a President who understands that part of a successful society is for people to work hard on reconciliation.

I think it is interesting that we're planting two trees.
I thought it would be interesting for her to describe what it was like to grow up in a communist world.
One of the interesting topics that the President brought up was renewable energy.
Interestingly enough, I sit at a table with the Prime Minister of Japan working on how to keep the peace. Isn't that interesting?
One of the interesting parts of my job is to be able to talk to pioneers.

And, finally, Bush found something interesting just yesterday

“Interestingly enough, he's decreased the size of Maryland's executive branch by 7 percent. See, he's in charge of the executive branch.”

And


“The other thing that's interesting that probably doesn't get discussed a lot here in Maryland, but should, is what could have happened had he not been the Governor.”

You forgot this one, from Slate's Bushisms:

"That's George Washington, the first president, of course. The interesting thing about him is that I read three—three or four books about him last year. Isn't that interesting?"—Showing German newspaper reporter Kai Diekmann the Oval Office, Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006

That's interesting.
