I don't think this came out quite right, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Nov. 3, 2002 I one time in this state described him as a "piece of work." But he's your piece of work.

Reverend Dubya chimes in again, Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota, Oct. 31, 2002 It doesn't make any sense to have a forest policy that will not allow for thinning and clearing, a forest policy that is so backward that we allow kindling to build up in these forests, and then with an act of nature, or with a sleight of hand by mankind, our national treasures burn to the ground.
From the typical references to forests as kindling, through to the inexplicable application of the phrase "sleight of hand", this is a classic Dubya moment, Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota, Oct. 31, 2002 John Thune has got a common-sense vision for good forest policy.

Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota, Oct. 31, 2002 This is a different kind of war than we're used to. This isn't a war where these infantries go marching across the plains or hide in hedgerows or formations of aircraft go streaming across our skies.

Rushmore, South Dakota, Aug. 15, 2002 Listen, out of the evil done to this great land is going to come incredible good, because we're the greatest nation on the face of the earth, full of the most fine and compassioned and decent citizens.
Dubya invents a new word, Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota, Aug. 15, 2002 I had the honor of meeting a fellow named Jerome Harvey. He's a professional fire fighter who volunteers his time to help people in need. He grew up in a volunteer fire department, in the sense of taking on this important job as — for his lifetime. I bring him up because he's helping others learn how to fight fire. He's a part of what I call a soldier in the army of compassion.
Trying (and failing) to make sense here, Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota, Aug. 15, 2002 We've got problems, we've got challenges, this generation has got challenges to meet and we're going to meet those challenges head on. We've got the challenge of fighting and winning a war against terrorists and we're going to win that war against terrorists. We've got the challenges of protecting the homeland and we will do everything in our power to protect the homeland. And we've got the challenge of economic security. Economic security in this part of the world is a big challenge, and I understand that. But we'll do everything in our power to overcome that challenge, as well. No, this is America — American land based upon strong values, inhabited by great people. There's no doubt in my mind that the challenges we face will be challenges we overcome.
Going challenge crazy here... Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota, Aug. 15, 2002 I appreciate so very much your governor, Bill Janklow, for being here. Bill has been a friend of mine for a long period of time. He might have invented the word "piece of work." But he's a good piece of work.
Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota, Aug. 15, 2002 This isn't a Republican war, this isn't a Democrat war. This is an American war.

He wants to appreciate Tom Daschle, but presumably cannot, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Apr. 24, 2002 It's a sign from above.
Comment made when television light caught fire above crowd, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Mar. 9, 2001 People want civility. We're going to give them civility.
