I thought of another one, but its gone...

there is a video somewhere of bush asking a kid how to spell potato, so the kid comes up writes potato on the board, and bush says now put the e on the end...


something like that, I'm fairly sure it was bush, it was probably in one of those montage videos of how stupid he is.
