Bush: "I'm not that good at pronouncing words anyway."

[journalist3072]

This one is priceless! George W. Bush finally says something that I think we can all agree with him on 100%----he's lacking in the ability to communicate orally, shall we say. (Anyone who has responded to KSAs when applying for jobs will know what that's about!)

Anyway, when explaining his use of the term "Democrat majority" (as opposed to "DemocratIC majority") during the State of the Union speech, Bush said "That was an oversight. I mean, I'm not trying to needle." He then went on to say "I'm not that good at pronouncing words anyway."

Here's the thing, Mr. President. (And I do use that term loosely in your case). When you have to give speeches frequently, and you know you're going to come across words that you have no clue on how to pronounce, you look up those words in advance, to see the explanation of how they are pronounced. That's why we have these things called dictionaries. They really come in handy. Try it sometimes.

Snow: No Slight Intended by Bush's Gaffe
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archiv...

WASHINGTON, (AP) -- This one has gotten a little ic-ky for the White House.

Spokesman Tony Snow said Monday that President Bush had no intention of slighting the party now running Congress by referring to it as the "Democrat majority" — as opposed to the "Democratic majority" — in his State of the Union speech.

... "He spends an entire speech talking about reaching out and working together, and a few people who apparently haven't gotten the message run out and they complain that the letters "ic" were missing from 'Democratic,'" Snow said.

... Bush plans to speak to the House Democratic Caucus at its conference this weekend in Virginia.

On the president's schedule, that event is referred to as the "House Democrat Conference."

11. I know he's capable of pronouncing the word "democratic".

I never hear him use the word "democrat" as an adjective in relation to Iraq. I've heard him say the word "democratic" just fine. Has anyone ever heard him refer to a "demcorat" Iraq?

I'm glad someone finally called him on it though.

12. Sorry, but the aw shucks ma'am crap just doesn't fly.

This shit-head knew exactly what he was saying. The whole regular guy thing is one big act. You don't hear Jebbie talking like this.
