And it's like he's spitting out the words of his speech.

5. Yeah, I wish the stupid jerk would finish his breakdown
and leave office quietly, medicated and in a straight jacket.

I have the feeling the main reason Jabba the Hastert is clinging to his job is because he thinks it's going to happen, Cheney will leave due to health issues (ha) and he'll get the job.

25. But who would live with him in the WH?
The "wife" that stays in a hotel whenever she's in town? Or the Chief of Staff who is accustomed to all those pajama talks before bed and at breakfast?

7. Part of the "regular guy" image they want ....
... where today's "regular guy" image, pushed on us by TPTB*, is one where ignorance is glorified and book lurnin and intelligence ridiculed. It's high time we get back to giving knowledge and reason some respect.


TPTB = the powers that be

9. He knows damn well how to pronounce the word
He does it wrong just to piss off people who hate him.

If you allow yourself to be angered by it, you're handing him a small victory.

12. He is slurring all his words. It is the alcohol. He can no longer
cover up the damage it has done to his brain and nervous system.

He is in his own little world where he believes he is damn near perfect.

Delusions of Grandeur!

11. How about the Korean Penn inSHULA?
He ha sto be speaking in code to someone. NO ONE could mangle the language as well as he does unless they were doing it on purpose.

Is he communicating with Don Shula? And if so, why?

13. W** as Ruth Buzzi?
She played one character on Laugh In of an old maid wearing a hairnet pulled down across her forehead.

It's kind of hard to see in this photo.
Anyway, W** now has this crease across his forehead that looks like a hairnet.

20. I never thought
that I would dislike anyone that I didn't personally know as I dislike Bush,Cheney,Rice,Rumsfel and Rove. These are the most despicable and nauseating lying bunch of JACKASS'S I have had the displeasure of knowing.

21. An encyclopedia could be written
An encyclopedia dedicated to Mr Bush's verbal faux pas.

At the very least, "G.W. Bush's Verbal Gaffes, For Dummies"

22. History lesson in not pronouncing words correctly:
"Trujillo ordered Dominican troops to massacre 20,000 dark-skinned Haitian sugar cane workers in 1937, an action that he claimed was a sovereign response to the Haitian government's support of exiled Dominicans who were working to overthrow him. The US demanded that Trujillo pay reparations, which Trujillo bargained down to $500,000.

The Haitian workers were identified as immigrants, and then murdered by the truckload, if they could not pronounce the letter r in "perejil" the Spanish word for parsley."

23. You know someone actually tried to defend him by telling me
"he pronounces it that way because of his Texan accent! Stop being prejudiced!"

Dumbass. He's from Connecticut!
