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

[bridgit]

preten-dident?

'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.'

1. It's short

and heck really means "hell" which wouldn't sit with the base too well.

[peacetalksforall]

2. It's short. He's short. His vocabulary is short. And substance and

articulation are missing all together.

[bridgit]

3. neither would "you're do'n a 'shit howdy' good job, brownie"...

:rofl: either way it's farce, he's an elitist and he knows it; he don't think he really has anything in common with the common man

[peacetalksforall]

4. Don't you just love to listen to articulate people after listening to him?

Clinton, Feingold, Boxer, Reid, Schumer - it's like drinking a glass or cupped hands scoop of cool, perfect mountain water (as in the old days).

6. breath of fresh air time, this bush kid's 'drawl' gets even thicker...

when he's in trouble, like he's just ah'reaching out for that-there common man touch :thumbsdown: as in "save me my brother-man cause i are'ah lost in a swirl'ah shit" = "where's a pile of destroyed NYC rubble and a 1st responder for me to exploit when i really need one"

5. These within a week.

New Orleans "It's a heck of a place"

Gov. Haley Barbour "fashioned one heck of a piece of legislation"

Wife Laura "She is a heck of a person"

Margaret Spellings, Sec. of Education "doing a heck of a job"

Condoleezza Rice "a heck of a secretary of state"

Rumsfeld "a heck of a secretary of the defense"

He has no vocabuary left. He cannot construct a thought. Cannot express an idea. Someting is very seriously wrong with his brain.

7. bush has no shame, and no lexicon either...

:rofl:

[colorado thinker]

8. Yes.

He's a moron.

9. It's part of his schtick

To make you think he's a regular guy and not some blueblood, would-be king.

10. How about his use of "He's a Good Man." Sharon has stroke...He's a

Good Man! I've never heard him say "She's a Good Woman" because people would really fall over him for that one. :D

11. i did hear reagan call one woman, "a bonny colleen", but at least...

reagan could saddle and ride his own horse
