1. Goodness. Clinton didn't need special lines to tell him which were the important words.
So embarrassing.

18. I think he wears it so he knows where he's from.
In case he gets lost they can just ship him back.

22. "If found wondering lost and/or drunken, please return to this country ..."
... but let's make it a Confederate flag.

4. What is that, a 50pt font?
I guess it's better than using a crayon.

5. Only 8 lines per page? The * no doubt uses his finger to follow the text.

6. lol..you've seen this from USAToday's blogs?
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/09/white-house-ups.html
White House upset over copy of Bush speech posted to U.N. website
Apparently, a marked-up draft of the president's speech popped up on the U.N.'s website as President Bush delivered his remarks this morning before the General Assembly, USA TODAY's David Jackson reports. The draft included phonetic spellings of some names and countries, and the cellphone numbers for Bush speechwriters.

Press secretary Dana Perino downplayed the incident, and said phonetic spellings are used to help interpreters. Asked if the president has trouble pronouncing some country's names, Perino deemed it "an offensive question."

"There was an error made," Perino said, noting it was not a final draft.

"It was taken down and there's nothing more to say about it."

Update at 12:43 p.m. ET: Here's the version they replaced it with on the U.N. website.

Update at 12:46 p.m. ET: Blake Hounshell at Foreign Policy says he has a copy of the speech that got the White House so worked up this morning. Here are some of the phonetic guides it included, according to the magazine's blog:

• Kyrgyzstan
• Mauritania
• Harare
• Mugabe
• Sarkozy
• Caracas

8. With the exception of Kyrgyzstan, they're all phonetic. Virtually anyone could pronounce them.
What a bonehead!

21. That's the one he screwed up today in his speech. Rachel Maddow had a clip...
I swear. All he had to do was read it phonetically but he still f****** it up!!

What a bonehead!

16. Is that a transcript instead of the printed copy in that link?...
Fifth paragraph - last few lines: "...and choking their -- off their finances..."

Just seems kinda strange.

27. Look at him in that last photo.. Big Dog would have been sitting there smiling...
and when he spoke he wouldn't even have needed 4x5 notecards. Our "president" looks like a second grader dreading going to the front of the class to read his book report. Oldest trick in the grade school book. The better the binder, the worse the book report.
