Speech Mistake Prompts Bush Do-Over

(AP) CHARLOTTE, N.C. Cameras were rolling. Microphones were on. President Bush stepped up to comment on a Senate compromise on immigration legislation.

Wait. Was it energy or immigration?

Maybe Bush had rising gas prices on his mind when he said he was pleased that Republicans and Democrats were working together to get a bipartisan, comprehensive "energy" bill.

Realizing his mistake, he stopped and called for a Take 2.

"Let me start over," Bush said, standing next to Air Force One.

Bush, often the first to admit that he's not a great orator, got it right the second time.

"I'm pleased that Republicans and Democrats in the United States Senate are working together to get a comprehensive 'immigration' bill," Bush said. "I want to thank the efforts of those involved in the process. ..."

5. lol...at the very least

I have a dream. He has a press conference and takes 4 or 5 questions that have words in them that he doesn't know. The questions are asked very casually and he just stands there with that dumb look on his face.
I wish the media would run that clip of him trying to say the 'fool me once' adage. Totally screwed it up.

Somebody on DU called it a do-over early today. (Yes, I've stopped thinking that the corporate media does any thinking on its own, so don't call me paranoid.)

EDIT: punctuation

7. I bet, after take 2, he did that "Holy shit! I got it right" smirk that he

always does when he completes a sentence with some semblence of grammatical sensibility.
