White House ‘fixes’ Bush’s grammar
Is this not pathetic and embarrassing? 09 can't get here soon enough.

White House ‘fixes’ Bush’s grammar.

McClatchy’s Jerusalem blog writes that the White House transcribers are revising Bush’s remarks to read with more grammatical coherence:

“I ain’t got it yet,” Bush said as Abu Mazen stopped speaking and an aide got on stage to fix the problem - which looked like it might have been an unplugged chord.

(As an interesting side note, “I ain’t got it yet” was changed to “I haven’t got it yet” in the official White House transcript…)

4. unplugged chord?
was this on MTV? Besides grammar, there are also spelling and homophones.

11. The 21st century version of "in search of the lost chord"?
I guess I'm just feeling moody and blue.

7. Just for the fun of it, I once trascribed part of one of his pressers
with every "uhhh, nnn and stutter."

The man really is a "moran."

10. I don't care about his gramma. Too bad his momma wasn't "fixed" about 61 years ago.
