George W Bush tråden!

[herzeleid]

Må si jeg blir litt oppgitt når mannen skal drites ut for spøker og lignende, burde da være nok å ta av til at det ikke skulle bære nødvendig

Ikke bare det, sitat ute av kontekst, påståtte sitat («to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004.»

 

Tydeligvis aksepteres alt så lenge det kan fremstille Bush negativt.

Hvem er det som driter ut hvem? Han klarer seg utmerket på egen hånd.

Dette er snakk om humor, ikke noe annet.

 

Spark George W Bush bak

Så fikk du sagt noe fornuftig i denne tråden allikevel.

 

Takker, det er rettet opp.

George W Bush "for some reason speaks English as if it's a second language", says Jacob Weisberg.

Mr Weisberg should know. The journalist for the online magazine Slate has compiled a book of the tongue-tied president's gaffes, George W. Bushisms: The Slate Book of The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of our 43rd President.

 

 

 

I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating

 

3 April, 2000

It includes such gems as: "Families is where our nation finds home, where wings take dream."

 

States' rights defenders should be pleased by: "States should have a right to enact reasonable laws and restrictions, particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live."

 

The Bushism "I will have a foreign-handed foreign policy," on the other hand, is unlikely to reassure either US foes or allies.

 

Possible explanations

 

Mr Weisberg says there are a number of possible explanations for the new president's remarkable way with words.

 

He told BBC News Online: "Theories range from dyslexia to stupidity to lack of education to lack of sophistication."

 

 

 

I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family

 

27 January, 2000

Mr Weisberg himself suspects "something akin to dyslexia", perhaps inherited from his father, George Bush Snr, who also had a tendency to trip over words.

 

Mr Weisberg also points to the president having had "one of the fanciest and most expensive, but least effective educations" available.

 

The president has a bachelor's degree from Yale and a business degree from Harvard Business School. His marks were average.

 

Not an intellectual

 

The Slate journalist also says Mr Bush does not have "much respect for the life of the mind.

 

"He's not a reader. He doesn't like intellectuals," Mr Weisberg said.

 

 

 

I understand small business growth. I was one

 

19 February, 2000

But, he said, Mr Bush's verbal gaffes have not hurt him.

 

On the contrary, "he's benefited from being underestimated - or 'misunderestimated', as he says", Mr Weisberg says.

 

Or, as Mr Bush himself put it, "They have miscalculated me as a leader."

 

Americans do not mind thinking their leader is not terribly bright, Mr Weisberg added.

 

"People derive a certain satisfaction from feeling the president is a bit thick. It's a chance to feel superior", Mr Weisberg said.

 

No failure to communicate

 

The journalist also pointed out that Mr Bush is not completely incomprehensible.

 

 

 

It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it

 

5 May, 2000

"Most of the time you have a rough idea of what he means. He's not failing to communicate," Mr Weisberg said.

 

The book, which was released around the time Mr Bush was inaugurated last month, is doing well. It is currently at number 52 on Amazon.com's bestseller list.

 

And the president continues to turn out several new Bushisms a week, keeping Mr Weisberg in business.

 

Perhaps he is merely taking advantage of an observation Mr Bush himself made in June: "There's not going to be enough people in the system to take advantage of people like me."

Nok et knalleksempel på hvordan meningen til ting blir fordreid når sammenhengen er borte. 'These people' referer åpenbart tilbake på andre mennesker enn 'the vast majority of Iraqis'.

Det trenger man ikke knalle huet i veggen for å forstå

Det som er humoren i det hele er at Bush har et voldsomt talent på å uttale seg slik at man finner motsatt betydning. Er det noen som kan finne andre kjendiser som har i nærheten av dette talentet? Jeg har tidligere sammenlignet han med Arnold, men Arnold gjorde talentet om til en salgsvare, slett ikke dumt spør du meg.
