Bush Mocks Kerry for Lambeau Name Gaffe

Sat Oct 30, 4:29 PM ET

By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer

GREEN BAY, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) could not resist a fresh opportunity to tease his opponent about fumbling the name of the Green Bay Packers' field. In fact, Bush went out of his way Saturday to create the opportunity.


After his speech, Bush made an unannounced stop across the street at Lambeau Field, home of the NFL team. Democratic candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) had flubbed the name of the Packers' venerable home field last summer, confusing Lambeau Field with Lambert Field, the name of the St. Louis Airport.


"It's nice to be here at Lambeau Field," Bush said, emphasizing the "BO" in Lambeau's second syllable.


A couple dozen Bush supporters stood in the parking lot on a cool gray day, awaiting him.

2. Bush is the *very last person* that should be critizing

ANYBODY for verbal gaffs.

[gjb]

27. Bush: "I heard him say it on the In-ter-nets"

[alvis]

3. A couple dozen

nice...:eyes:

[Democat]

4. "A couple dozen" supporters? 80,000 people for Kerry, 24 for Bush?

Imagine how the media would be spinning if it was Bush getting hundreds of thousands at his rallies and Kerry getting a few hundred people. The media would be slamming Kerry daily. Where are the articles proclaiming Kerry's popularity with the public because of his huge turnouts?

The media sucks.

:)

[shelley806]

45. When the media does mention it, it's because of the stars...

No. It's because of Kerry that the stars support him. I sent an e-mail to Dana Milbank at the WH recently condemning him for derogatory remarks about John Kerry. He wrote that throngs of cheering crowds follow Bush, while Kerry supporters are too low-keyed. My letter to him was long and very critical of this administration and I ended it with:

"After the first debate, I was no longer voting against Bush, but for Kerry. Hopefully, he will be able to restore some of the damage done to this country, reverse some of the damaging policies that Bush has opted for, and bring back necessary unity and faith in our elected officals.

Who cares about delusional cheerleaders for Bush. I'm cheering for Kerry."

[teach1st]

5. Not bad, from a man who confuses

Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

[leftofthedial]

6. man, talk about nerve

the way he butchers the language.

Plus, I thought Kerry was French, so how could he mess up "Lambeau"? Must not be much of a Frenchman. Maybe he should have called it Freedom Field.

[cmf]

7. CHIMP mocking Kerry for flubbing a word?!?!?!

Um, ok, Chimpy, when you learn how to pronounce nuclear correctly, then maybe you can tease someone about mispronouncing something. Asshole.

[China_cat]

8. So says the one

who believed that poutine was the PM of Canada.

[Love Bug]

24. I'm surprised he didn't think "poutine" was French for "poontang"!

[JPace]

9. The pResident is known for his inability to speak a

paragraph without mangling some poor innocent word,
he will be an easy target for a comeback from our
man Kerry!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

10. I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. I just had to get that off my keyboard.

Please ignore me now.

[dweller]

26. I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

guess it bounced over to my keyboard, now it's ethernet bound again.

dp

[SammyWinstonJack]

49. You're not alone

I can't stand the arrogant little piss ant! :grr:

[JusticeForAll]

60. I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

ooo that feels better. now I will really let it loose.

WHERE ARE YOUR PRIORITIES, YOU FUCKING PRICK?
You have the time to make fun of a verbal gaffe your challenger made but you did not have time to answer the questions of the 9/11 Commission? You then later FLIPFLOPPED and gave them two fucking hours after two fucking full years of misery. You did not have the time to even bother fucking set a Commission up, dammit!! You did not have time to make sure that your damn Iraq priorities included safeguarding and securing weapons over fucking oilfields. You didn't even jump to a chance to come to your country's aid when havoc was being wreaked on MILLIONS of your citizens, instead, looking clueless and BEING clueless in front of a gradeschool classroom. YES, ASSHOLE GWB, you need to answer for your fucking incompetence and for the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS you have caused worldwide.

You deserve the most unthinkable punishments for your vile acts and omissions.

I wish I could get my thoughts out without using the F-word or any profanity at all.

[Shadow30]

11. yeah chimpy I'm sure this one will make it all over the internets.

n/t

[gjb]

30. oops...You beat me to it. Shadow30. Defective scrollbar. Must fix.

[kaitykaity]

12. Give me one more reason to hate that fucker.

Yeah, isn't this the guy who couldn't say "Abu Ghraib"?

:grr:

[gjb]

33. Personal Satisfaction

[Deja Q]

13. Tell our nucular president to make up its mind about Canadian drugs & OBL

Ol' two-faced there can sod off.

[Cats Against Frist]

14. Lambert Field

Is the name of the St. Louis airport. It might not be a flub, anyway, but a switch.

Anyway, it's still irrelevant, and the chimp is a loser.

[gjb]

38. Yeay Lambert Field actually exists and Kerry pronounced it correctly.

[gjb]

40. Yeay = Yeah

[exsoccermom]

15. Well, tomorrow we will watch that team

from Lambeau Field beat the Washington Redskins to ensure that John Kerry is elected on Tuesday. Like many in the Washington, DC area I'll be smiling through my tears (well, not really).

[Pig_Latin_Lover]

How is this news?

So, they made a whole news article based on a diss in Bush's speech. One line.

[tanyev]

16. While you're there, why don't you peek

under a few of those bleachers and see if you find those missing WMD's.

[pelagius]

17. The funny thing is...

..if the Packers beat the Redskins tomorrow, tradition indicates Bush* will be out of the White House come Tuesday.

http://www.snopes.com/sports/football/election.asp

Any props he wants to give to the Pack fans are A-OK with me! Go Green Bay!

[CarolynEC]

18. *snicker*

Boy, that Georgie-boy sure is a strong closer, huh?

What an ass! I mean, could this be any more lame, making a special stop so he could try to wring one last, pathetic attempt at humor out of a slip-of-the-tongue JK made several months ago?

Paging Mr. Rove, your political skills are on the line. They say they're gone, and they're not coming back.

:dunce:

[chiburb]

19. Apu Grape? Abul Greeb? Ado Grave? Yep, mock Kerry....n/t

[gristy]

20. It's all he's got, you know? Kerry Landslide

that is all

[tabasco]

21. This is the President of the United States of America ?

Good Lord. How have we made it four years ?

[Stinky The Clown]

22. Was this before or after he told the adoring stepfordians ..........

......... his latest "strategery for a winningest champain" ............

.......... asswipe :/ ........

[Mr_Spock]

23. Kewl, thanks for permission to whack you about the head with Bushisms

from dawn to dusk. Looser.

[indie_voter]

25. Hey Kettle, meet pot! IDIOT! n/t

[Zen Democrat]

28. Is that all he's got three days before the election???

[endnote]

31. Nuk'ular monkey making fun of Kerry ? That is FUNNY...

[w4rma]

32. Bush is tackling the *important* issues of the day: pronunciation. (nt)

[rocktivity]

34. Rocknation Mocks Bush for "Osama's Still At Large" Gaffe

:headbang:
rocknation

[karlrschneider]

35. "noo-ku-ler"

'nuff said. :grr:

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. John Kerry should do a rally where he does NOTHING but read a BUSHISM BOOK

:grr: The NERVE of that man! He who barely speaks english!

[Awsi Dooger]

37. I'll despise Bush even more on Tuesday night, once he's officially lame

Not sure how that's possible, but I can feel it already. His gall is exceeded only by the lies and incompetence.

[The_Casual_Observer]

41. TCO mocks bush for looking like a chimp and being a stupid ass.

[idiosyncratic]

42. Guess he has never reviewed his own gaffes at Fresh Dubya

This is one of the funniest sites around. It is just filled with *'s stupid comments and verbal gaffes.

Fresh Dubya

[Dudley_DUright]

43. OK, now he really pissed me off

You do not use the sainted name of Curly Lambeau to make cheap political points. Bush criticizing Kerry for misspeaking is like Bozo the Clown criticizing Einstein for a mistake in general relativity.

[shelley806]

44. OMG! How truly pathetic...too bad Kerry is probably too decent to

respond in kind. The examples below are OLD! And every time Mr. Bush opens his mouth the list of Bushisms grows. He was NOT born with a silver tongue in his mouth! (Maybe a silver spoon)

Please help me update my list with remembered recent gaffes...Jon Stewart I need you now!

53. Don't forget the one about

OB's practicing their love of women- my personal favorite!

[shelley806]

55. That's my recent favorite too! Also when the crowd had to

prompt him "We won't have volunteers in the military...murmers from crowd Uhhh! We will, we will!"

[lizzieforkerry]

59. I thought of that one right after I posted!

[jackstraw45]

46. COULD Bush be ANY more of a pathetic human being?

No. He could not.

[Kadie]

47. Wow

This thread received a lot of replies. I forgot I had posted it, I looked under my posts and WOW...

here is a kick in case any one missed it.

[iwantmycountryback]

48. I guess we misunderestimated Shrub again

You can fool him once but you can't fool him again.

[Oreo]

50. Too bad the Packers are going to crush the Redskins

Continuing the record of incumbent loses when the skins lose before election day

[ima_sinnic]

51. okay george, I'll grant you 2 accomplishments in your presidency:

the do not call list
and you could pronounce the name of a football field.
now buzz off, loser.

[Arkana]

52. Oh, no no no no, Shrubya

You don't want to play the mispronunciation game with us--cause you will NOT win.

[Pharlo]

54. As opposed to Bush's WI football gaffe....

Notice how he conveniently forgets that when he came to WI August 18, he visited the Kansas City Chiefs training camp, not the Green Bay Packers.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040818-8.html



Kerry may have erred on the name of the field, Bush doesn't know which team is actually from WI.

[juliagoolia]

56. Aren't you sick of his arrogant mocking a** !

I am so glad President Kerry is nothing like this arrogant fake man.
He could care less about you or me. His only concern is himself and his power.

He makes me ill just thinking he is the President of a nation as great as this one.

[doni_georgia]

57. That's rich coming from Mr "OBGYNs can't practice their love"

Kerry in a landslide!
