George Bush's Best Moment: Catching a 7 1/2 LB Perch

7 1/2 LB Perch

The truth is stranger than fiction. I am not making this up. Here is the direct quote of President George Bush, via Reuters: "I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake."

Surely the president would have said the freeing of 25 million people from an evil and oppressive dictator before he said catching a 7 1/2 pound perch.


I want to thank Blogenfreude over at Agitprop for the heads up.

UPDATE: Turns out that a 7 1/2 pound perch is really one wild fish tale! (Link via AMERICAblog.)
