Bush reviewing "curriculum VEE-TIE" of SCOTUS nominee

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

...just played a clip on Countdown from today's press conference.

Bush said "I'm reviewing the curriculum VEE-TIE"...then paused for a minute, looked very pleased with himself for using a 25 cent word, and proceeded.



I want my fucking country back.

1. How long did Karl have to work with him to get that close

to the correct pronunciation?

2. I don't know, but...

...he should have worked a little longer.

:toast:

5. Consider what he has to work with. Who has that kind of time?

3. You know something is wrong when...

You know something is wrong when the Indian PM speaks better English than the President of the United States.

7. LOL...sad but very true

[Fenris]

4. He could have just as easily said

"I am currently reviewing the judgments and rulings of potentitial Supreme Court nominees and am in the process of narrowing my list down."

No difficult Latin speak.

No, wait, he couldn't have said that. He would have fucked that up too.

[Moochy]

11. But he has WORD POWER

He just learned that word, and smirked after he used it. He's so proud of his knowledge of Latin America.

WORD POWER!!

6. shouldn't that be VEE-TAY? vitae

[Igel]

8. Usually. n/t

13. If you want to believe Microsoft's Encarta Dictionary...

cur·ric·u·lum vi·tae

cur·ric·u·lum vi·tae (ke rìkyelem vi ti, ke rìkyelem vitee)
(plural cur·ric·u·la vi·tae (ke rìkyele vi ti, ke rìkyele vitee)
n
summary of qualifications and experience: a summary of a person’s educational qualifications, skills, publications, and professional activities, prepared when applying for an academic position. Also called vita

NOTE: Encarta Dictionary has a little "wav" file of every word you can click to hear it spoken. This one sounds like "curriculum vitey" (like "whitey")...I've always said vee-tay, though.

BUT NEVER VEE-TIE.

:evilgrin:

12. Not in any way to defend the asshat moron, but aren't all native

Latin speakers all long dead?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Yes, so the lesson learned here is...

...DON'T SPEAK NATIVE LATIN"

...especially if you are George W. Bush and cannot pronounce simple English words like "nuke-you-lar."

:evilgrin:

[rzemanfl]

17. Exactly. n/t

[Vickers]

16. Maybe he was speaking Latin for all the Latinos out there?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Shades of Danforth Quayle!

Man, that dumbass will disassemble :spank: ANY word or phrase.
