Bush refers to astronauts as "spacial entrepreneurs."
Whatever the hell tha means. LOL.

"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a
wonderful example for the young of our country."

—George W. Bush, Jan. 14, 2004

The corporate media whores pounce on any Dem for perceived minor personal flaws. They go after Dean with extreme prejudice for indulging in one victory scream, denounce it as 'un-Presidential."

And yet turn a blind eye towards Bush's much more severe personal flaws, his constant butchery of the English language. If a Dem ever talked like Bush does, you would never hear the end of it!

Dean is 'un-Presidential,' but Bush is?? Dubya often sounds more like a babbling mental patient than a President. They truly sicken me! :mad:

3. How French!
The French term for a space traveler is Spationaut(e).

The French are back! Ooo-La-La!

6. Why doesn't anyone call the shrub
on his ignorance of the English language. I know the media is going to protect him but why don't our guys call him on it and make him look like the fool he is.

8. Two problems here
One, his misuse of the word spatial. The term spatial entrepreneurs wouldn't work, either. In calling them entrepreneurs, he's revealing his own view of everything as a source of income. If it can't be exploited, it has no value.

But it may be more insidious than that. Perhaps he chose that word to get people thinking in terms of making money in space, because that's what he intends to do, and it's more widely acceptable than the other thing he intends to do in space. And he knows people who don't go, "Yeah, but the astronauts aren't starting businesses or making any profits in space" won't think to ask where the money is going or what else is on those rockets they keep shooting up there.

I guess it depends on how stupid you think he is. Personally, I don't think he's very stupid.

9. Spacial Entrepreneur...
When opening a new store at a mall, astronauts are famous for using all three dimensions. Years of quantum physics research has shown that customers can't get into the store when fewer dimensions are utilized.
