"Fermez le Bush"

I just saw a car with it and don't get it.

1. When properly written/spoken in French
it means "close your mouth"

I'd say it's a play on it suggesting that our pResident shut up.

2. LOL! It's French for "Shut your mouth".
In French mouth = bouche and it sounds exactly like Bush.

6. That's what I was taught in
high school french class. I still use the phrase, but never thought to use in regard to Bush. I will from now on.:think:

I never followed through though. I'm glad somebody did.
