He knows the standard. He's just ducking the issue because the torpedo's
heading toward him amidships and he can't move fast enough to dodge it.

You are ducking the issue. If your kids were in high school and spoke the
way Bush does, you'd be asking serious questions of their English teachers,
unless you were a total idiot and didn't notice.
You'd be obsessed with your kids.

huge numbers of people.

| Kerry has made a few flubs as well as Gore. You don't like Bush, fine. He won't be running again. Instead you should focus on the people who may be the next president. Where do you see Bush making speeches? Evening news perhaps. I've watched entire speeches on C-SPAN, uninterruped and unedited. All of this talk about Bush and his public speaking is fixation. That's not mentally healthy for you. -- -- |

to, "The swim team members is going to dinner together and we needs money,"
& it'd be believable. (For GWB, not a HS-er.)

"Forms of government matter, in my opinion. It matters how-the nature of the
government in which people live."-Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007
Fer cryin' out loud...people don't live IN a government.
"The question is, who ought to make that decision? The Congress or the
commanders? And as you know, my position is clear-I'm a commander
guy."-Washington, D.C., May 2, 2007
Commander guy? When my son was 4 and we'd pass road construction, he'd say
"I wanna be a builder guy". Kids say this. Not adults.
Cathy, I think if you called dbu and told him one of his kids might need
speech therapy, he'd say you were obsessing about his kids. Not doing your
job. Obsessing.

You are obsessed with GWB aren't you. One needn't be obsessed to notice his language problems. One only needs ears & a brain. Or eyes (if in print vs. audio) & a brain. A person'd have to be *totally* out to lunch, or comatose, to not notice his language blunders. (Nevermind the political blunders...) And his blunders create problems for huge numbers of people. Cathy I'll bet you've "blundered" a few times in your life. Or are you perfect too. |
No president has blundered as often and as badly as Bush. For instance,
someone in this newsgroup once tried to explain this away:
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's
aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."-Sept.
6, 2004, Poplar Bluff, Mo.
It cannot be explained as a simple blunder. It's a serious defect in his
thinking process. Totally tactless and ignorant.

Yale or Harvard only because he has connections, thereby bumping a
clean-cut hard-working poor or middle class kid who's more qualified
and could probably contribute a lot more to both the university and to
society?
