Since when is landslide a verb?
Mrs. Merkel at times nodded her agreement as Mr. Bush spoke or smiled in his direction; the president quipped at one point that they had something in common: "We both didn't exactly landslide our way into office."

10. Not on his NCLB mandated tests I'll bet.
I doubt that he could pass them.

4. This is your president attempting
to articulate an unscripted answer. No can do.

7. Chimp Chat
Actually, perhaps she didn't win in a landslide, but I have a feeling that she did receive more votes.

So I guess they don't have that much in common after all.

8. An amazing admission on Bush's part!
Ok, we all know he was appointed the first time around. But the second time he was all about spewing "I've got political capital and I'm spending it!" Remember? He acted like his little 2 point spread meant he was able to just totally ignore 49% of the population. Of course, I don't think he got in with 51% or even 50%, but this is the first time I knew he agreed with me. Quite revealing.
