Freudian slip by Faux News typist during speech?
Sorry for the poor quality of photos;
When I saw this I hit "pause" and took
pics of my TV screen.

Did a typist reveal B*sh's REAL agenda here?
(look at the "news alert" message)

This would really explain alot; maybe he's only COMPETING
with Osama to see who can kill the most innocent civilians.
Would someone please tell him he WON already?

And did FAUX quickly replace that person with a member of FR?
(this was 4 minutes later)

Or did he really mean "except"...as in "rule out"?
If so, I can only say "No shit, Sherlock!"

6. It's "They never stop thinking of ways to harm the American people and
neither do we" rephrased! LOL! Good catch, thanks.

10. The second picture has a common typo.
People confuse "except" and "accept" all of the time, just as they confuse "ensure" and "insure."

It's no biggie.

14. No biggie for most, but when writing ENGLISH is yer frickin JOB...
...I think it's a different story.

And I think it's an excellent example of how
B*sh-supporters DON'T place a high value on COMPETENCE.

19. Beg to differ...
It IS a big deal. There is a DIFFERENCE between except and accept. If a business posts a sign saying "No checks excepted," that's probably in direct contradiction to what they actually mean.

Similarly, "affect" and "effect" are vastly dissimilar. Something might "affect" global warming but to "effect" it would be quite a bit different.

There are hundreds of such cases, most less problematical. I refuse to accept the "everybody does it" theory, so beloved by right-wingers when they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, but that's another issue altogether isn't it?

38. The one that drives me NUTS is people who think that one can
combine 'possibly' and 'supposedly' to make 'supposably.'
I also know several people who, when writing, will write 'should of' instead of 'should've'
Makes me want to scream!

43. They made a big deal of "supposably"
on one of the sitcoms. Maybe Seinfeld? In any case, I agree with you, but then I've never gotten over "hopefully" used instead of "it is hoped" or "I hope" or even "one hopes," so who am I to judge. And I haven't REALLY recovered from using "they" instead of "he or she," but as a speaker once remarked to a question from an English professor, "I'm afraid that battle's already lost."

Guess I'm just a dinosaur. Sigh....

11. They only hire people who will fit in over there.
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 10:59 AM by leveymg
When the transcribers take the Fox employment test, they don't get hired unless they show a real aptitude for mangling the English language.

But, Bush leaves so much open to interpretation, you can't blame them that much.

12. "We must top them"
An obvious reference to Bush White House male prostitute/"journalist" Jeff Gannon -- a self-proclaimed Republican "top" whatever the hell that means.

At least someone spelled "except" correctly. The next step is to consult a dictionary for word meanings.

21. This is as good as Simon capturing the raw exit polls election night.
Way to go!!!

Former member of the Vienna Circle, Otto Rank, MD, was consulted on this (I channel him) and it was, indeed, a Freudian slip.

27. Yeah, he was sticking his tongue out like that the whole time.
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 12:14 PM by dicksteele
He seemed to be alternating his little "coke jaw" twitch
with licking his top lip.


I guess they are still fine-tuning his meds;
at least he didn't make any serious monkey-faces
this time. That's not saying much, but progress
is progress, right?

29. Don't know. Are you having trouble with the pics?
Someone had a thread yesterday, reporting that they couldn't
access PhotoBucket. Replies said most people had no problem,
but a few also couldn't reach the site.
