Why does he mangle the English language
often enough for Slate Editor Jacob Weisberg to produce three books of
Bushisms such as "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your
family."

Given that this message thread is now protected from readership
protest by it's 'POL' notation, perhaps it's safe enough to post some
more Bush quotes:


"We need an energy policy that encourages consumption"
-- George W. Bush.


"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country
and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush


According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to
strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to
strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the
problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the
elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

BUDDIES Tony Blair and George Bush were deeply embarrassed last night
after being caught using distinctly undiplomatic remarks in some
off-guarded moments.

Their expletive-ridden chat at the G8 Summit moved on from how they
could solve the Middle East crisis to the serious matter of the
sweater that the Prime Minister had given the US President as a gift.

Aides are now battling to repair the damage after the two leaders
spoke frankly, and somewhat fruitily, over lunch in St Petersburg,
unaware their remarks were being recorded by a TV microphone.
....

Bush: Yo Blair how are you doing?

Blair: I'm just. . .

Bush: You're leaving?

Blair: No, no, no not yet. On this trade thingy. . .

Bush: Yeah I told that to the man

Blair: Are you planning to say that here or not?

Bush: If you want me to

Blair: Well, it's just that if the discussion arises. . .

Bush: I just want some movement.

Blair: Yeah

Bush: Yesterday we didn't see much movement

Blair: No, no, it may be that it's not, it maybe that it's impossible

Bush: I am prepared to say it

Blair: But it's just I think what we need to be an opposition

Bush: Who is introducing the trade

Blair: Angela

Bush: Tell her to call 'em

Blair: Yes

Bush: Tell her to put him on them on the spot. Thanks for the sweater.
It's awfully thoughtful of you

Blair: It's a pleasure

Bush: I know you picked it out yourself

Blair: Oh, absoultely, in fact - in fact I knitted it! ! !

Bush: What about Kofi Annan - he seems alright. I don't like his
ceasefire plan. His attitude is basically ceasefire and everything
sorts out. . . . But I think. . .

Blair: Yeah the only thing I think is really difficult is that we
can't stop this without getting international presence agreed. I think
what you guys have talked about which is the criticism of the
(inaudible word). I am perfectly happy to try and see what the lie of
the land is, but you need that done quickly because otherwise it will
spiral.

Bush: Yeah

Blair: I don't know what you guys have talked about but as I say I am
perfectly happy to try and see what the lie of the land is but you
need that done quickly because otherwise it will spiral

Bush: I think Condi is going to go pretty soon

Blair: But that's, that's, that's all that matters. But if you, you
see it will take some time to get that together

Bush: Yeah, yeah

Blair: But at least it gives people. . .

Bush: It's a process, I agree. I told her your offer too. . .

Blair: Well it's only if she needs the ground prepared as it were.

If she goes out she has to succeed whereas I can just go and talk.

Bush: You see, the . . . thing is what they need to do is to get
Syria, to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s*** and it's over

Blair: Dunno. . . Syria. . . .

Bush: Why?

Blair: Because I think this is all part of the same thing

Bush: (with mouth full of bread) Yeah.

Blair: What does he (Kofi Annan) think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out
fine, if we get a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the
right way. . .

Bush: Yeah, yeah, he is sweet

Blair: He is honey. And that's what the whole thing is about. It's the
same with Iraq

Bush: I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Bashad
(Bashir Assad) and make something happen

Blair: Yeah Bush: We're not blaming Israel.

We are not blaming the Lebanese government

Blair: Is this. . . ? (at this point Blair taps the microphone in
front of him and the sound is cut. )
