    I got 6 out of 7, but I must confess to guessing on some of them.

    Peace --

    The uproar in Spain, and Bush's greatest moment... (although I was tempted to select the right answer on that one, because it was appropriately Bush-esque, I would have had a 6 out of 7 had I chose it...)

    All the other ones I had in fact read about or skimmed through in my daily internet travels....

    I missed 2 & 7. Seems like we all want to give GW more credit than he deserves. Highpoint of his career is catching a perch, eh? Sounds like he should go on a permanent fishing trip. (or maybe he already has! ;) )

    And here I thought you were talking about the Weekly World News. :lol:

    I also got 4 out of 7, but some were just guesses.

    I only got four out of seven correct, too...and was most surprised by this question:

    Question 7
    What did President George W Bush describe as his best moment in office?
    A: The toppling of Saddam Hussein
    B: Catching a whopping fish in his own lake
    C: Meeting Nelson Mandela for the first time

    As much as I can't stand the man, I try to give him the benefit of doubt...then he just reaffirms some of the reasons I can't stand him... B)
