    Andrew Maxwell did a good sketch on The Liffey Laughs last night about Bush's Texan/Southern friends.

    but these are some of my favourites: "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —George W. Bush, Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004

    "We will make sure our troops have all that is necessary to complete their missions. That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental — supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."

    Dialup users beware!

    This is my personal favourite, I guess because it's easier to accept when you can actually see him making a complete pr1ck of himself.

    anyone see him abruptly talk INTO his tie recently in the middle of a sentence at a press conference?? best stuff i've read on bush is 'the bush dyslexicon' by mark crispin miller; not just a funny quote book (there are hundreds of pages of those though), he disects the language and explains bush's malaproprisms, and his tendency to blurt out the truth even when he's trying to lie. fascinating and disturbing all at once

    here's the video i mentioned above, 16 minutes in he jerks awkwardly and hunches over to says something to the voice in his ear (rove?)

    sorry, not sure why, let me give you another one that links to that page maybe.

    try this, sorry again, worth watching though! scroll about halfway down to the topic review section and you'll see two links, 'bush's very bizarre behavior at a press conference on 12/20' and 'watch this video' which gives you instructions on where to find the tie-talk bit
