Bush v. English Language
I
don't usually copy things directly off Blog for America, but this was
just too good to pass up. My thanks to Mike Yedinak over at DFA
for compiling the latest Bushisms for us to laugh/cringe/cry over. And ladies… watch out for
those doctors!
George Bush lost another battle with the English Language the other day, the second of the Labor Day weekend.
Monday,
he complained that “too many good docs are getting out of business. Too
many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across
this country.” Apparently, Bush was never briefed on a
gynecologist's job description.
Earlier
in the weekend, Bush made a Freudian slip during a speech in Erie,
Pennsylvania, when he explained last year's $87 billion appropriation
for “armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel.”
It was
the third such telling slip in a month. On August 9th, Bush pronounced
the following. “Let me put it to you bluntly,” he said. “In a changing
world, we want more people to have control over your own life.”
This
followed the statement on August 5th that “our enemies never stop
thinking about new ways to hurt our country, and neither do we.”
You
remember how the other day when Bush called the war in Iraq a
“catastrophic success,” and John Edwards exclaimed, “He doesn't know
what he's saying!” Well, Edwards does seem to have a good point
there. Is it any wonder that Bush is scared to do press conferences and petrified to speak in public?
