Best/Worst New "Bushism" -- from his Gulf visit...

[mcscajun]

"There will be a momentum, momentum will be gathered. Houses will begat jobs, jobs will begat houses." - George W. Bush at a building company in Gulfport, Mississippi, August 29, 2006.

1. He has no credibility anymore..

who's gonna believe him? What's been done so far in the Gulf? What did he promise last year and what has been delivered. Liar liar pants on fire.

[liberal N proud]

2. What ever that means, I do not know

Derrr!

[jimshoes]

3. The only thing he left out was...

a "verily I say unto you". He's truly gone 'round the bend.

[tulsakatz]

4. begat?

in what universe does anyone use the word 'begat'?

He must think he's living in the Bible!

8. And the blathering idiot can't even get the goddamn TENSE right!

:eyes:

[mcscajun]

12. Nope...and he managed to work in his favorite "passive voice"

"...momentum will be gathered..."


Oh yeah? By whom? by What?

Vague, weasel words are his stock in trade.

5. I have lawn furniture smarter then bush.

[mcscajun]

13. And that chair is far more functional and stylish.

Folds for carrying/storage AND it even holds a cold drink!

:bounce:

6. "Ignorance will begat idiots...idiots will begat more idiots."

I think I read this quote in the Shakespeares.

7. It doesn't matter. No one really pays attention to what he says anymore.

Even his supporters make excuses for his blunders now. As in, "What he really meant to say . . ."

[tulsakatz]

9. yeah, right.......

...and if that's what he meant to say, why didn't he say that?

Why do all of his speeches have to be translated for those he is supposed to be speaking for?

Last year when Bush went to Mexico, Bill Maher interviewed a spanish journalist who said, 'Bush is the first American President who speaks span.....or rather he is the first one who THINKS he speaks spanish!'

10. where did you find this please? Any link?

I would like to pass it on and would like to be able to credit the source. Thank you.

[mcscajun]

11. It's in any number of sources...I picked it up at Doonesbury @ Slate

then I cross-checked it to three or four other sources, including the NY Times and a Maureen Dowd column.

Here's the NYT link:
