5. THANK YOU!
The Misspeaker-in chief can't say anything correctly, and the press covers for him all the time. The press is too stupid to realize how stupid they are!
THANK YOU!

9. Laura Bush cautions Americans to speak carefully when debating Iraq

November 1, 2006

HILLIARD, Ohio: First lady Laura Bush cautioned Wednesday that Americans discussing the war in Iraq — especially politicians — should be careful what they say because other countries are paying attention.

"The right to have these conversations is part of what makes our country great and our democracy strong. We must be mindful that people around the world are listening to these discussions," Laura Bush said at a suburban Columbus recreation center during a campaign appearance with Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce.

"Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home in a way that does not jeopardize our troops in harm's way," she said, calling for "conversations conducted with civility and respect."



George Bush at the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in 2004:


"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere,"

"Nope, no weapons over there ... maybe under here?"
