Bush gaffes are not funny - they are dangerous!
Imagine if Bush were speaking directly to a foreign leader during a crisis situation. How damaging could a mis-spoken phrase be? Could lives depend on the accuracy of his words? I wonder, with his stubbornness, would he admit a mistake and retract what he said?

1. I think it's sad that we require more from our school bus drivers....
...Than republicans do from their candidate.

Lets not drug test....let's have an "IQ" test.

3. Why do half the people in this country prefer a president that....
...Rode to school on a short bus?

They say he talks on a level that the common man can identify with....Bullshit

I want a president I can look up to intellectually.

4. Obviously...
When I first heard his comments today about trial lawyers preventing OB-GYNs from practicing "their love" on the women of America I thought "what a dildo brain!"
Perhaps without knowing it the twerp tapped an unconscious FEAR that puts into question the trust between doctor and patient...
Perhaps our resident idiot is so beloved by so many in our country such a gaffe can be laughed off and even found endearing by some...
But to engage in diplomacy such a gaffe could be seen as a major insult...at least I think it could be.
Of course the current regime has never once even ventured close to diplomacy so my point may be moot...
