On Keith O a new Bushism is born. What the heck is scatology?

[DanCa]

Did anyone else watch the Keith O segment about Governor George Bush and Miers exchanging memos in Texas? So what do you think Bush meant that meirs would be the one to remove scatology from government? This is new even to me.

[fleabert]

1. i think he may have meant 'shit' instead...

imho.

they are both fools.

[Kagemusha]

2. More specifically, "bullshit"

If you read it THAT way, it makes sense. A "genteel" way to say "bullshit". Getting that out of government. Because Miers is a no-nonsense woman.

I'm not advocating that view. Hell no...

[Az]

3. Technically scatology is the study of excrement

Or in the common vernacular shit. I can only imagine that Georgie would only be calling its reference to shit into the conversation.

8. Didn't you see the last part of Keith where he explained this?

Apparently "scatology" means something to do with the study of excrement.

Keith's guest said he though he probably meant to say exscatology witch is relating to the body of religious beliefs.

Sorru I don't recall the name of Keith's guest, but he's the voice of a Judge on South Park.

Keith also showed the dictonary reference for both words!

[DanCa]

11. No I didn't catch all of it.

multi tasking between watching tv and doing the dishes.

[napi21]

17. No shit

Like the dinkwad's use of "lacerates" for "tears." Earned him an F at Andover.

[amitten]

19. Harry Shearer was the guest

He's the voice of the Judge on the Simpsons (not South Park--yuck) and does many of the voices on that show. He also happens to be a hysterically funny comedian, of SNL fame and movies like Spinal Tap (funniest ever) and Best in Show. He's a riot, but was off his game tonight a little.

[REP]

20. "Eschatology" not "Exscatology"

Eschatology is the part of religious thought that deals with death, judgement, the final destiny of the soul and of humankind.
