My wife recently picked up a book that highlights the President's more entertaining grammatical screw-ups, a lot which were said at speeches, on TV, and such.

I can't make out the exact events, but can at least give the location and time.

I hope these are worth a laugh or two.

2000.12.06; Arkansas
They misunderestimated me -> They underestimated me.

2002.11.27, Washington
...weapons of mass production -> ...weapons of mass destruction
"terrorist threats and their weapons of mass production"

2001.12.04, ???
prevent us from harm -> protect us from harm
"Secondly you need to pray fro the good Lord to protect America, provide a shield over our country, to prevent us from harm."

Much more to come.....

A classic!

"You disarm, or we will"

Now that's a threat if I ever heard one. What makes it even better is immagining all of the people listening to his speach cheering loudly after he says it.

Ya know guys.... when I was a little kid I looked at Jimmy Carter and said to myself, "When I grow up I hope we get a serious meathead elected for president."

Dreams can come true!

Keep 'em comin' 7F!

Man, there are so many better ones than just his spelling mistakes. He seriously fucks up entire paragraphs. I used to have a different one each week in my sig, for a couple of months. I could never run out, he just kept making more. Here are a couple of recent ones that illustrate the danger of letting this man walk free without a teleprompter:

"Now, we talked to Joan Hanover. She and her husband, George, were visiting with us. They are near retirement — retiring — in the process of retiring, meaning they're very smart, active, capable people who are retirement age and are retiring." —George W. Bush, Alexandria, Va., Feb. 12, 2003

"The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself." —George W. Bush, Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 29, 2003

"The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 27, 2002

"I need to be able to move the right people to the right place at the right time to protect you, and I'm not going to accept a lousy bill out of the United Nations Senate." —George W. Bush, South Bend, Ind., Oct. 31, 2002

"I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose: you disarm, or we will." —George W. Bush, speaking about Saddam Hussein, Manchester, N.H., Oct. 5, 2002

"I'm thrilled to be here in the bread basket of America." —George W. Bush, Stockton, Calif., Aug. 23, 2002

"The trial lawyers are very politically powerful. … But here in Texas we took them on and got some good medical — medical malpractice." —George W. Bush, Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002


And perhaps my all-time favourite:

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." —George W. Bush, discussing the decline of the French economy with British Prime Minister Tony Blair


I could go on for pages.
