Poetry in Politics

The relations with, uhh--
Europe are important relations,
and they've, uhh —
because, we do share values.

And, they're universal values,
they're not American values
or, you know, European values,
they're universal values.

And those values, uhh--
being universal,
ought to be applied everywhere.

~George W. Bush
at a press conference with European Union
dignitaries, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005
