Pea-ance, Free-ance & more Left Out of WH Transcript - Bush Yesterday

[otohara]

I was just listening to Mike Malloy's show from last night where he played portions of the Bremmer/Bush lie fest from yesterday. Mike played over a couple of times where Bush says:

the people have got to understand, the Iraqi people have got to understand that anytime you've got a group of killers willing to kill innocent Iraqis, that their future must not be determined by these kind of killers. That's what they've got to understand. I think they do understand that -- they do. THEN.....

COMPLETELY LEFT OUT ARE FOLLOWING SENTENCES:

It's in the interest of the long term peace in the world, that we work for a free, secure & peaceful Iraq. A PEA-ANCE, FREE-ANCE secure Iraq in the midst of the Middle East will have enormous historical impact.

INSTEAD THIS IS INSERTED:

The Ambassador and the General were briefing me on the -- the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice.

1. don't get it...

What's "pea-ance, Free-ance"?

[otohara]

3. Two New Words

from too stupid to be president

[Iverson]

7. ever hear of pea-ance envy?

Freance is the country where freeance fries were invented.

[smallprint]

25. Free-ance is where the ladies wear no underpee-ance

:dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

[grasswire]

28. hahahahahahahha!

There's a place in Freeance
Where the women wear no peeeance...


Now I'm going to have that as an earworm all night, thanks.

[arwalden]

8. Even in context I can't figure out what he might have been trying to say..

... that's just sad.

Does anyone have a clue what might have been on his mind?

Mind: I use that term loosely.

[Tansy_Gold]

24. I have spent far too much time on this, but. . . .

. . .. I think I have it figured out.

I believe * was trying to say "a peaceful and secure" Iraq, but he had just used the word "peace" and for some reason or other his dim little brain told him not to repeat it. (Wasn't there some story about his using the word "lacrimose" in a sentence or something?) Anyway, I think he stumbled over the first part of "peaceful" and before he could retract all of it, the first part of "and secure" had slipped out. Hence, "pea an' s" = "pea-ance."

The same thing happened with "free and secure," more stumbles as his mind and mouth were going two different directions.

This whole thing makes me think of the stories told about my sister-in-law as a toddler -- with two older brothers to watch over her all the time, she never learned to speak until she was almost four, when the older boy went off to school. She had always just pointed and made a noise when she wanted something.

* is a similarly spoiled child. He doesn't know how to coordinate thoughts and words; he just has to grunt and point and it's taken care of.

I really need to get a life --- or read "The Bush Dyslexicon". . . .or something.


Edited to add -- I think someone said * has difficulty speaking about things he finds personally distasteful, such as accepting blame for his mistakes. Certain in light of how he has "led" the country these past months, one would think "peaceful," "free" and "secure" are concepts he finds personally distateful.

[Scurrilous]

30. His little brain told him not to repeat a word...

...because his Mommy had always drilled him to believe it was improper to use the same word twice when writing or speaking.

The story you are thinking of involved the word 'lacerates.'

While in prep school, Bush penned an essay about his sisters death. Having used the word 'tears' once already earlier in the essay, Bush at one point felt compelled to write 'lacerates ran down my cheek.'

His poor mind confused the noun 'tear' (tîr)..as in teardrops or tears ran down my cheek, with the verb 'tear' (târ)..as in tear, rip, or lacerate.

Hence, when casting about for a word to substitute for 'tears', Bush used 'lacerates.'

Supposedly he got an 'F' for his efforts. Along with the scorn of his prep school classmates.

[tridim]

14. Malloy defined it as

something like, "flying monkeys, pissing on you from the sky".

[SpiralHawk]

32. Do they got 'suiciders" over there?

Wondering is being done by Amurikans.

"I'm the master of low expectations."
- George W. Bush, Aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

[Logansquare]

2. I'd love to see his brainscan

when he starts making up words. Some sort of electrical storm must occur in the language center and prefixes and suffixes start getting randomly connected.

[Richardo]

4. Obviously inspired by Fred Durst's Grammy speech...

"I just really hope we're all in agreeance that this war should go away as soon as possible."

[Kolesar]

5. They inserted something completely different

How pathetic, indeed. This must be what totalitarianism looks like. They probably do stuff like this in Egypt.

[Jack The Tab]

6. Read the Bush Dyslexicon for an explanation of this...

Our Dear Leader absolutely cannot speak when he is supposed to talk about things that 1-he doesn't believe in or know anything about and 2-when he's lying.

Now, when the subject is death, destruction, vengance, revenge, spitefulness, sarcasm, or mean-spirited, our Dear Leader becomes a master linguist.

It's quite amazing to actually see. Read the book and you'll be amazed next time you hear him speak. It's very easy to pick out.

[Kolesar]

9. you forgot: Tax cuts for the rich

I saw Mark Crispin Miller explain his thesis in a TV interview. It was quite revealing.

[Spazito]

10. And we can now add the illustrious word "unsticker" to the list....

Condi is the "unsticker"! Wow, I feel so much safer knowing that.....except that unsticker is NOT a word!!!

[nostamj]

17. and let's not forget today's other verbal gem:

suiciders (this juice will kill you!)

[arwalden]

34. I'm waiting for FOX to add "homiciders" to their vernacular.

How about "election frauders"? Or "illiteraters"? Or "uncuriousers"?

[LittleApple81]

11. I looked at the tape on the Whitehouse site and you are right:

two new words, yeap.

[arwalden]

12. But what did he MEAN to say? Or will FOX News Start Using Them...

... to bring legitimacy to his bumbling of the English language? They still haven't stopped with the "homicide bomber" thing.

-- Allen

[donotpassgo]

13. Free-ance is a perfectly Cromulent word.

n/t

[tridim]

15. Cromulent indeed

It certainly embiggens my utter disdain for whistleass.

[donotpassgo]

18. I'm glad you got that.

It embiggens my disdain as well.

[Iverson]

21. You big comucans.

I get such a legomobilation out of you.

[LittleApple81]

23. This is one of the things I love about DU: the wonderful sense of humor

some of my fellow DUers have. And it is all impromptu. Thanks, I needed that!

[HFishbine]

16. Reality Check

Yes, Bush did say "A pea-ance, fre-anssecure Iraq..."

But, nothing appears to have been inserted in the transcript. Compare

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/10/20031027-1.html

to

http://video.c-span.org:8080/ramgen/archive/iraq/iraq102703_bush.rm at 6:58

The transcript did scrub Bush's response to a reporter's attempeted follow up where he said, "No, that's your question" at 4:45.

[qwertyMike]

19. Microphone

He musta had one in that non-visible ear. He just repeated what garbled sound he heard.

Valium I'd say. Many alcoholics substitue using diazepams.
Plays peeance with the freeance side of your brain.

Some become suiciders as a result.

[MrMonk]

20. You say they *inserted* this?

"The Ambassador and the General were briefing me on the -- the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."

I thought these little slips were unplanned!

[otohara]

22. On Edit, Malloy Edited

They hate freedom. They love terror. They love to try to create fear and chaos. And what we're determined in this administration is not to be intimidated by these killers. As a matter of fact, we're even more determined to work with the Iraqi people to create the conditions of freedom and peace, because it's in our national interest we do so. It's in the interest of long-term peace in the world that we work for a free and secure and peaceful Iraq. A free and secure Iraq in the midst of the Middle East will have enormous historical impact.

Left out:
the peaance and free-ance

Replaced with: A free and secure Iraq

Kinda bummed Malloy for splicing two different statements together as if they were of the same statement.

[ConsAreLiars]

26. No. He played the clip in full again tonight

He commented that some website posters had suggested erroneously that there was some kind of splicing and re-played the clip. If you missed it the whiterose.org archives will have it soon. Somewhere around the end of the second hour or beginning of the third, IIRC.

[JohnyCanuck]

27. One of Malloy's callers had an explanation

The caller claimed that he had experience in working as an actor and that Dubya had the same "oh shit" type look in his eyes at various points during the speech as an actor who has forgotten his lines or suddenly realized he got his lines mixed up. He thinks Dubya was being prompted through an earpeace with the replies to the questions and when he said "Peeance" and "Freeance" he just didn't hear correctly what the guy talking into his ear had said and therefore just mindlessly repeated what he thought he had heared.

[opihimoimoi]

29. Reminds me of the scene in ROXANNE

or,

Bush is taught sound bites, single sentence statements, late at night by wife who was a 4th grade teacher?

That could be an explanation.

[ronatchig]

31. Myself, I think

The feral little bastard is cold heartedly playing for sympathy from the mothers of America, after all if that were your son would you not feel shame for his inability, at his age, to use his native tongue.
It is part of my theory that the verbal gaffs are a set piece of propaganda to make this traitor appear hapless ,harmless, and oh so lovable.
It also disgusts me that the p.o.s. gets such a pass on his deeds while mouthing these inane misspeaks

[lumpy]

33. Way past time for the straight-jacket.

Yes, their futures have been decided by a different kind of killers all right, and they are sitting on their butts in DC.
