Spelling bee contestants: Bush is ‘embarrassing.’
The Examiner caught up with some contestants in the recent National Spelling Bee and asked them their thoughts on national politics:

First important question: Can President Bush spell “constitutional”? Jessica Shakesprere, an 11-year-old from West Virginia, doesn’t think so. Texas’ own Raymond Soriano, 14, remembered that “Bush misspelled ‘business’ one time. That’s embarrassing.” Eleven-year-old Vincent Medina from Florida told us, “Anyone can out-spell Bush.” Jonathan Schut, a 13-year-old from Canada, thinks he can out-spell Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice too. Those are some big words for middle schoolers.
