preten-dident?

'On a daily basis, sometimes several times an hour, the word "heck" creeps into President Bush's public pronouncements. People he wants to praise, as well as places, ideas and winning sports teams are all told that they have done a "heck" of a good thing.

You might think Bush would have retired the expression after Hurricane Katrina, when he infamously told the man, Mike Brown, who led the federal government's much-derided response: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." But the verbal quirk has turned up in Bush's speeches at least four times this week. One day last week, he used it four times in a 10-minute address.'
