George Bush actually said...

"Mark Sullivan, of Maryland, to be United States Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, vice Karen Shepherd, resigned."

"Richard M. Russell, of Virginia, to be an Associate Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, vice Arthur Bienenstock."

"He will be great for South Dakota in the United States Senate, and he will be great for America as its next Senator."

"I want John Thune to become the next United States Senator."
