Yeah. In his next message, he'll ask ME to answer the question. That's what
he always does when he's stumped.

Yes, there are, but not ones where you can give the impression that you want to serve your country in time of war, without having to worry about fighting the enemy. Typical chickenhawk repug. |

Mike Hunter wrote: In what branch of the US military did you serve? Army but no combat. I just sat in an air conditioned building, overlooking military financial matters, and the only time I came close to danger was when a _South_ Korean captain pulled a gun on me because he thought I knew something about the black market, which was controlled by the South Koreans. |

Cut the bullshit. Do I need to give you examples, for the 1000th time? If
your kids made the kinds of grammatical mistakes he does, you'd be bitching
about the job your school was doing. Not visiting the teachers or doing
anything to help the kids, but just bitching.

speaking that way: Something's wrong. Very wrong.
A young friend of mine taught a research methods course for college seniors.
10% of the students wrote their final paper using language that literally
made some of the content unintelligible. They flunked the course. A couple
didn't graduate because of this, and had to do remedial work over the summer
in order to get their degrees. It was obvious that they'd somehow gotten
past high school without being able to communicate. This is a crime.
When the president exhibits the same behavior, it is a problem. There is no
debating this fact.

kids. If he's not up to those same standards, something is wrong. I don't
care what party he's from. Linguistic incompetence needs to other labels.

BTW, I've heard Bush make some minor errors while speaking and I've heard him deliver a speech perfectly. I'm not someone who is that critical of someone else. |
a script because there's no podium, and it's usually when he's talking to
reporters and has no idea what questions will be asked. I know of no other
president in my lifetime with this defect.
