Was there a bushism that I missed? "Catastrophic success?"
Was there a quote that that came from or something? What was the context?

1. Sometime yesterday when the ass was asked to describe the war in Iraq.

John Edwards was asked about the statement and he replied: "Like the rest of America, I have no idea what that means."

8. Does somebody have the exact wording?
I'd like to quote this. I was by the "Time" site, but it's just got the teaser part and the rest is subscription only.
