      “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

      ― George W. Bush

          I read that he had to change it up on the fly because he didn’t want someone to have a clip of him saying “shame on me”. If that’s true it wasn’t a terrible move. Just not very graceful.

        You know I’ve always seen that as less him fucking up the saying and more him deciding to use that opportunity for a veiled threat.

        Like “fool me twice shame on- fuck that I ain’t getting fooled again”
