Fun talk:Bushisms

Quote # 4 is from Quayle, I am fairly certain. But who the fuck cares, since they are both silly neocons that bitch underneath the trembling wrath of a president that later wrote a book on why invading Iraq would be moronic. But whatever.

Not a bushism but ....

Quote of the week:

"Learn from the experts. The George Bush School of Government Certificate in Advanced International Affairs."

Damn! I used to have a whole calendar full of these things. Now, when it's becoming funny again towards the end, I can't find it! ... 11:40, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Question...

Should all of these be real, or can I add "I should run for president"? --Gen. S.T. Shrink *^{Get to the bunker}* 01:28, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Probably best to keep them real I think :-) --Bob^{bing up} 02:56, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Request to epxand section

Since Bush is out of the white house, I am suggesting we expand this section (War on Language) on the following manner:

• War on grammar in the realm of CP (or other places like ASK)
• War on definitions (of words)

Any ideas on this? Thieh 00:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

To me, bushisms are a unique snapshot in history, and deserve their own page, even though the culprit has been finally beheaded umm impeached or rather voted out of office, that is, replaced. --En attendant Godot_{"«Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.

I agree with WFG. Also, K6478345, you are engaging in your own version of a war on English on this wiki, seriously, a compendium of most of your edits would be hilarious. Perhaps leave the English stuff to us and stick to being smart? ħuman 05:05, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Why not add to Dan Quayle? ħuman 04:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea... Blue (pester) 04:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

With bilateral "see also"s, of course! ħuman 04:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

(EC²) Some citations would not go amiss, either; there are people who like inventing stupid quotes and attributing them to public figures. ListenerX^TalkerX 04:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with LX. Citation where? People love to make these things up. ħuman 04:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

At the article, though I'll admit I haven't checked each individually. And it's not the best citation. Blue (is useful) 05:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
