Bush needs speech therapist
Someone, anyone, please teach him how to pronounce Abu Ghraib! He even uses it incorrectly in a minor press conference yesterday. After all this time, he should know how to say it correctly. I have heard 4 different pronunciations out of his mouth. It is not that hard if you try.

This is worse than Nook-you-Lear.

1. I'm pretty sure a psychotherapist would help too.

4. He's a toy r us kid!
and i hope he doesnt get any therapy until he's thrown out on his ass. No makeovers, nothing that will help him win. He needs to stay ignorant and artless.

3. they would have to raise taxes
to pay for all the therapy he needs. I would rather get him out of office, back to Crawford and put us out of our misery.

5. From Kabul to Abu Gharib, they just don't give a damn. Bush* isn't alone.
It's their way to personally feel good as our troops do sorts of dirty work none of us expected or thought they'd think of doing, yet alone doing it.

6. Are you kidding me

7. It's all pointless...
As a (I thought) very bright young man I know (about 19 at the time) wrote in an op-ed piece after * was "selected", and remarks were being made about *'s intelligence: "We don't need a president who's smart, we need one who provides leadership. And Bush proved that when he was Governor of Texas."

Arghhh....

It's pointless to try to teach * anything, it's useless to try to enlighten his band of believers. That is why I continue to remain...

I'd be happy if he could pronounce nuclear and subliminal. ;)

9. Here is the audio
"Abu Garef"? Wasn't he some 80's Arab world pop idol?

11. Bush needs an education.
I know he got a BA from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. Those two institutions should be regarded as diploma mills for the rich and titled if they don't change what they do. Bush might have a sixth grade reading level IMO, although I did read a lot better in two languages in the sixth grade than he does now, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

12. He has had the best of speech teachers and writers for these past 6 years
to no avail.

He just can't learn. He is damaged goods. Perhaps his fear of horses has a story, who knows. Maybe the nurses dropped kicked the sucka back when he was a baby. Even as Governor he was lacking.

I been around Politics for 40 some odd years, even met JFK, but this Bush, He is the WORST of the WORST.
