goldenlangur Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Found this amusing piece about 'Bushism', the phenomenon of his mangling the grammar, syntax and semantics in his many interviews and moments of pith and wisdom: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7809160.stm goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.

tonyv Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I couldn't help laughing when I read the quotes. Some I had heard, some I had not. In a certain way, I'm like this politician: I, too, will sometimes put something in "the Google." I love it when the press has a long memory and is unforgiving with these guys. Quayle's "For NASA, space is still a high priority" sticks in my mind. Thanks for sharing the link, gl.

Tony We all have our Bushism moments and perhaps that is what makes his lapses, hilarous and endearing too People seem to have their own favorite quotes and the top 50 is worth printing out as a keepsake. goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
