SAD BUT TRUE

Over the past eight years his addresses have come to demonstrate a rigor and discipline at expressing oneself in the English language unmatched by many. It is with this statement that I sadly look to January 20th when that corrupt terrorist will start leading our country and speaking to us in full sentences .

Since there are so many obvious and serious problems for which we can blame Bush--the economy, the war, the lack of funds for education--I choose to focus on the more amusing verbal deficiencies that have come to be known as "Bushisms."

From the BBC article here are some words of wisdom:

On education--
"Reading is the basics for all learning."
Reston, Virginia, 28 March, 2000

"As governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards."
CNN, 30 August, 2000

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.''
Townsend, Tennessee, 21 February, 2001

On a more trashy note, I heard that Oprah is up to 200 pounds and wants to lose 35 pounds before the Inauguration. Good luck girl.
