Reply #24: quoted from KK: more examples of * Sr. verbal skills

[AnnInLa]

The Reagan campaign was reeling, and the political press corps perked up. Suddenly George was on the cover of Newsweek. "We've got the momentum," George boasted. "Big Mo is on our side...There'll be no stopping me now...We've got Big Mo." Reporters scratched their heads. George continued to confound the press with his quirky adolescent phrases such as "tension city," and "I'm in deep doo doo now," and "catching the dickens." Other fractured phrases needed a glossary. "It was Vic Damone today," meant victory on the golf course. "Little wiener countries" were small, troublesome countries. "Little Wieners" were his grandsons, and negative campaign ads were "the naughty stuff." When questioned about his verbal gaffes, he said, "No more nit-picking, it's Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah." As the press struggled to decipher George's fragmented syntax, they tried to comprehend his politics and figure out what he stood for. "How would you define yourself ideologically? Moderate or conservative?" asked a reporter. "I don't want to be perceived as either." "Well, how do you want to be perceived? You can't be both." George: "How do you know I can't?" The reporter persisted. "Well, would you like to be known as a moderate conservative?" Bush hesitated. "yeah," he said. Then he took it back. "No. A conservative moderate is better."

The idiocy, stupidity, and, well, mediocrity of the 2 Georges is just amazing. I want a President who is intelligent, well spoken and superior!!
