Bush has a 'heck' of a way of getting his point across

It is presidential language that would make Harry S. Truman blanch -- not for its saltiness but, heck, for just the opposite.

On a daily basis, sometimes several times an hour, the word "heck" creeps into President Bush's public pronouncements. People he wants to praise, as well as places, ideas and winning sports teams are all told that they have done a "heck" of a good thing.

You might think Bush would have retired the expression after Hurricane Katrina, when he infamously told the man, Mike Brown, who led the federal government's much-derided response: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." But the verbal quirk has turned up in Bush's speeches at least four times this week. One day last week, he used it four times in a 10-minute address.

"New Orleans is reminding me of the city I used to come to visit. It's a heck of a place to bring your family," the president said on Thursday in talking about the city's reconstruction efforts. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, he said later in the day, had "fashioned one heck of a piece of legislation for the people of this important state."

He really is insane, you know.

1. He's lazy.

Expanding his vocabulary would be "hard werk".

4. It's just his awkward

maladroit way of trying to ingratiate himself to his public (along with the faux drawl). Don'cha know? Jus' tryin' to catapault his propaganda--give the poor guy a break! :nopity: SG

2. He is truly insane.

And evil. Harry T would've kicked his ass . . . and gone to lunch.

(Harry exposed Dubya's grandpa, Prescott, who was dealing with the Nazis. It's amazing that they didn't kill HT for that.)

3. The Corporate controlled media by all rights ought to pick up massively

on Bush's use of the "hecku'va" phrase a second time in NOLA.

It is just too GLARING to ignore.

He looked struck dumb when he said it this time, knowing that he had just put his big fat freakin foot in his mouth.

But the corporate media will undoubtedly choose to snooze by this...as with so many other things.

On bended knees, before the Ministry of Propaganda.

5. Good point, Spiral...

It just astounds me how all of his public gaffs, mis-speakings, Malapropisms and other embarrassments seem to be totally off limits--more than for any other President I've ever seen. Who the hell does the BFEE own in the Corp. media for the unspoken rule of "untouchability" to be so effectively enforced? SG
