"Bush-isms" anyone?
Posted by Libby Liming at August 31, 2004 03:40 PM

Due to the fact that I haven’t watched a newscast, local or national, since early 2000, I have never once caught any Bush soundclips. I have not heard him flub words or skip lines in speeches, and I have only read about some of his goofy quotes. However, I do find some of what I’ve heard to be “circular talk”. He defines a word by using that word in the definition. He uses words that do not exist. He confuses the heck out of me.

I know that I’m a little slow on catching up to this phenomenon of the rather odd presidential speeches, so what IS the definition of “Bushism?” While I’m waiting for something exciting to come out of the GOP Convention, send me your favorite “Bushism”. Let’s see who can come up with the best quotes, and I’ll try and include them in my post later this week, when Bush is scheduled to speak.

Calling all Bush-isms. Send 'em here.
