A new vocabulary word from Bush

[pnutchuck]

"We hope the United States won't send any wrong signal to the Taiwan SPLITTEST forces," the president was quoted as telling Ms Rice.

1. What a buffoon.

Will someone please put the monkey back in his cage? :eyes:

[kedrys]

2. Crap, my head just exploded AGAIN.

Huh??? :wtf:

[etherealtruth]

3. Imbecile

I can't laugh, I am too embarrassed!

[paineinthearse]

4. * is an absolute moron

not qualified for mayor of crawford, let alone president of the once proud USA. He is an utter failure and disgrace to us all.

[mcscajun]

5. Get it right... he said "splittist", not "splittest"

It's important when making up new words to spell them properly. :)

:wtf:

Good lord, how can we have this man representing us around the world and he can't even speak coherently? I shudder when I see him quoted in the global press. It's a total embarassment.

[pnutchuck]

9. I didn't know how to bold the word and capitalized it myself

I tend to post before I spell check, but I don't think it would have been in the dictionary anyways. Besides, it was just for a little light humor since there's so much to be pissed about and a good laugh never hurts.

13. dictionary

Neither variation appears in my dictionary!

[mcscajun]

14. So was my post....meant as a joke, that is.

I wouldn't correct a word that doesn't exist in the first place. :)

21. Winston Smith would

"I wouldn't correct a word that doesn't exist in the first place."

Sounds like "1984," eh?

:hi:


I missed the clip, but however it's spelt, Bush has trouble with his consonants and probably had to stop and look up at his trainers for a treat: "SP-LIT-TIS-T-ah!"

Look Ma, no hands!

[Botany]

6. SPLITTEST?

Any doubt that the man is a tool?

[American in Asia]

7. sorry - wrong president...

As much as it wouldn't have surprised me, coming from Bush.

But, the story has that quote coming from President Hu Jintao of China. Sorry....

[Wright Patman]

11. Yeah, that's always the term

which is quoted in the translations whenever China sounds off on the Taiwan issue. I've seen it for years.

[pnutchuck]

12. Shit, my bad

just used to new vocabulary words by Bush and assumed it was his words. Sorry....

[mcscajun]

15. Awww...you mean for once somebody ELSE fucked up verbally?

Rats! We gotta stop bashing Bush this morning. NOT!

We just can't bash him about 'splittist'.

[pnutchuck]

17. I jumped the gun thinking I'd found a fuck up before another

DUer. I guess I sort of M$Md it :-)

[American in Asia]

18. Totally understandable!

I mean, it is the sort of thing that we've come to expect to hear him say! (sadly...)

These things happen so often now that we kinda expect of any leader made up a word it'd be ours, right? :eyes:

[omega minimo]

20. Not at all! Let's call him the SPLITTIST PRESIDENT

:evilgrin:


Or the Banana Splittist President

[blogbear]

8. More Madness of George IV..

[sellitman]

10. Gosh...he is my hero!!!

He is a gift from God.

End of sarcasm.

[patricia92243]

16. What did he mean to say?

[meow2u3]

19. Playing dumb again!!

I disagree with many DUers who think Bush is dumb. He only seems that way because what he's doing is putting on an act by coming up with such silly utterances to trick us into thinking he's dumb. Meanwhile, he is running this country--and the entire globe along with it--into the ground, leaving it for the Democrats to clean up after him.

22. Have you seen footage of W when he is not being prompted?

When he is on camera but not ON yet? (Letterman showed this once)

When he sat blankly staring after being told about the World Trade Center?

Interviewed by Baba Wawa and appeared to be drugged into LaLa Land?

Where have you seen evidence that his mind is not completely gone?

He is a hollow shell, a phony facade to this evil empire. He is the :) on the squirming wormy festering repug machine.

He does a bad Reagan imitation, making THAT total phony look good (Reagan was wired, too).

If Cheney were the face of U.S. power, they wouldn't be getting away with their dark deeds and lies.
