Bushisms from the debate

Say What?

One of my favorite Bushisms from the "debate" -- um, uhh, it's "hard work" to choose just one -- was "That's why it's essential that we make sure that we keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of people like Al Qaeda, which we are."

People like Al Queda. That Al -- he's such a troublemaker. Somebody should take him down a peg or two.

(The reference to "Al" struck me as funny, because my son is currently under the impression that the math he's studying in school was invented by a guy named Al Gebra.)

Then there's that other mischief-maker, "Warren Terra." Can't somebody find that guy, dead or alive?

Other gems:

"I see on the TV screens how hard it is." Good to know he's not completely out of touch with what's happening on the ground in Iraq.

"The moo-lahs." Sounds like a bovine singing group.

"Mixed messages send the wrong signals." There's something about that sentence that just makes my brain hurt.

"Don't forget Poland!" Remember the Alamo!

"It's hard work to try to love her as best I can." This rather creepy statement was in reference to meeting the widow of a soldier killed in Iraq. Such an ordeal for him! Being president really must be hard, hard work. I guess that's why he spends so much time on vacation.

Bush also mumbled something about trying to keep "a leash" on his daughters. Incredible. Has he already forgotten about "Apu Giraffe"?
