I usually reply that if Bush was "selected" in 2000, then according to the 22nd Amendment he can run for reelection in 2008! Guaranteed to torque their jaws...

By Golly, you're right!!!

Twenty-Second Amendment - Presidential Tenure

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Regarding the first clause, the Sore Loserman dead-enders claim that Bush was not "elected" in 2000, and yet regarding the second clause, no "other person was elected" (by the electoral college) for that term.

Bush is eligible (cite Michael Moore v. America)!
