Bushism of the day

[JohnKleeb]

"The servants of this idealogy seek tyranny in the Middle East and beyond...they seek to indeminate America in to panic and retreat."
George W Bush
April 13, 2004
Reading from his teleprompter during a nationally televised address to the nation. Refering to terrorism. The White House, Washington, D.C.

1. Whenever I read something hes said... it make my head hurt...

2. Is it just me?

What does "indeminate" mean? Is that a real word???

[jellybelly]

4. I wanted to ask that

but I was worried it was a word and that everyone would laugh at me, and then I would cry:(

[koneko]

5. I thought it was just me

I was stuck on 'indeminate' as well.

I try not to think too hard about the words that come out of *'s mouth. It hurts too much!

[smbolisnch]

7. Nope, not a real word.

At least, not part of the English language :)

[zbird]

8. Maybe he meant "intimidate"?

He makes my head hurt too. It's almost like trying to figure out what my kids mean to say, although they usually make a hell of a lot more sense.

3. So we are to fear

being indeminated

or would you say indemination?

[Droopy]

6. Is indeminate a real word?

Spell checker says it isn't.

I know what he was trying to say there at least which is a far cry from what can be said for some of his screw ups.

12. ....they seek to inseminate America into panic and retreat.

Maybe that's what he wanted to say and then he thought, "Gee willickers, I'm supposed to say 'intimidate'" and got the to words melded together to form a new one.

14. I choose not to be inseminated with anything

Thank you very much!

10. I yearn for the day when we have a leader who

has control of the English language.

[JohnKleeb]

15. sigh we had a chance a couple months ago

BTW this quote comes from the new presidential misspeak calendar.

16. We have a "leader" who has control of the English language,

and he's wrestling it to the ground mercilessly!

[Not_Giving_Up]

20. True

He just makes words up as he goes along.

[theorist]

11. It's not a real word.

At least not until bush said it. A google search brings up references to this quote. It's a mediocre bushism, but that's kind of obvious. It's really painful to read and not really all that funny.

I'm pretty sure he meant "intimidate". It's kind of like the time he said "math death" in reference to the "growing threat Saddam's regime is becoming", or some shit like that. I'm glad Mark Crispin Miller is following this guy's gaffes, because it would be a full time job.

13. Why is this man's illness ignored??

I've got two whole calendars filled with statements like that, by George W. Bush! I mean, this is practically a daily occurrence! A five-year-old child makes less speech mistakes!

SOMETHING IS WRONG! If you had a family member who talked like that, wouldn't you be concerned??

Yet the whole country ignores it. The whole country accepts the official statement that he is in "excellent health".

So if anyone is wondering why so many in the country seem to be ignoring election fraud, all you have to do is look at how the people of this country simply shrug their shoulders when it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that this man has trouble talking! Trouble talking means some sort of problem with the brain! Who ever heard of a man with his public experience having this much trouble expressing himself? Something is WRONG, and we don't have to have MD's to see it. We're being led by a man who shows clear signs of mental problems. That fact is scarier than any "terror" threat Bush or his toadies ever invented.

17. Has anyone visited

<http://www.dubyaspeak.com>

It's a large collection of his "words"

[JohnKleeb]

19. I havent but thanks

I like the audio.

[No Exit]

21. LOL! I'm tellin ya, this whole country is going to end up in

Ripley's Believe It Or Not someday! Imagine an entry for Ripley's in, say, the year 2104: "Believe it or not! The United States was led for over four years by a president who was seriously afflicted with (fill in the blank: dementia, Wernicke-Korsakoff's Syndrome, alcoholic wet-brain, premature senility, tertiary syphilis, whatever it is he's got). And yet this man was able to freely exert his will on over 200 million citizens!"

Move over, Caligula.

18. There was a post in another forum earlier about facial drooping

It couldn't be decided if he's had a stroke, or if he's just a retard.
