Speech mistake prompts Bush do-over

Idiot. Can **we** "restart" and go back to Nov 2000?? Please?

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.

8. Curious George's electronic ear was working fine until...

he got the bright idea to look into the reported lapses in airport security. He stuck his stupid head in the baggage scanner and fried the chip implant in his ear. Expect to see another band-aid on his ear in a day or two.

6. Oh Bill...I miss you...and I don't care what the meaning of "is" is...

It was so fine to have a president with an IQ in the triple digits.
