GWB has flubbed a few lines as well, and like every president I can
remember and almost certainly ever president before that he has been
subject to vicious criticism while in office. Politics is not for the
thin skinned.


The punchline was **supposed** to read kinda like....

"study poorly and you might still grow up to be president, but you'll be
stuck in Iraq without the smarts to find a way out."

Any decent joke writer would have inserted a phrase to directly target
Bush
as the butt of that joke.

Why complicate it? My father used to say "Study hard, or you'll end up
pumping gas all your life". Replace this with "..or you could end up like
Bush".
