1. No, but 2005 wouldn't "scan" well for the rhyme. NT

2. I wouldn't doubt it, if true.

2005 would be a mighty big number for him to remember.

The brothers return to a familiar theme with "2-0-5," their latest animated short. The 2-minute spoof, available on MSN after airing on "The Tonight Show," takes another stab at presidential politics, specifically the travails of George Bush in his second term. The title refers to a verbal blunder by the star of the piece, an animated cut-out of Bush.

4. It would be nice if they said when or where.

I don't recall him saying it.

Maybe he did.

7. I misunderstood the OP, when he asked whether Bush does say that.

I thought he meant as a matter of course, instead of a blunder.

8. Yes, I did mean as a matter of course

which of course won't be surprising for him.

This was reported shortly after the 2000 elections in the LA Times:

When Bush went in front of cameras to reassure the nation, he failed to mention that his running mate had just had an angioplasty because his staff had withheld that information from him. "That was a mistake," his aide now agrees "but, frankly, none of us thought there was a prayer he could pronounce "angioplasty."
