• McGurn, a veteran of the Wall Street Journal and National Review, also told us that President Bush is the most exacting editor he’s every had.

“I've been edited by Bob Bartley and Bill Buckley and the president is by far the most thorough and sharp editor.”

[NastyRiffraff]

[Olney Blue]

[sellitman]

6. They have mixed up "editing" with "Censoring"

Its a simple mistake any corporate whore could make.

[peekaloo]

7. a better editor than Bartles & James fer sure.

how much shit do the viewers of Fox like to eat?

[Rosemary2205]

33. I loved that commercial.........

Did the quiet one (Ed?) ever talk?

8. Here, let me fix that quote for you.

• McGurn, a veteran of the Wall Street Journal and National Review, also told us that President Bush is the most exacting bullshitter he’s every had.

“I've been bullshitted by Bob Bartley and Bill Buckley and the president is by far the most thorough and sharp bullshitter.”

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. "His crayon drawings were all over the manuscript"

:D

[fenriswolf]

10. Mr president

Your supposed to correct errors with the pens, not smell them.


LOL

[rasputin1952]

11. From the same article...

"• President Bush conceded to me that he failed in his goal to be a “uniter and not a divider.” The president told me, “I'd say that I worked to be a uniter and it didn't work.” "

This from a guy that is a fantastic "editor"...:wtf:

I wouldn't trust bush to edit the instructions on a shampoo bottle!

[Botany]

21. In June 2004

Bush said the following about terrorists, "I got my looks on for them."

I had to pull the car over to side of the road a scream.

The man has trouble w/ subject verb agreement in spoken english and
yet some guy wants me to believe that he, bush, is a better editor than
William F. Buckley?

[rasputin1952]

22. I too am amazed! Although this doesn't say much for the author's

style of writing...:D

I have to admit, I got a C+ in ENG 101, simply because I botched my research paper. I went all out to and chose, "Why People Don't Vote" as my topic, and was immediately inundated with more info than I could ever use, but I felt all of it was important. I completely screwed it up. But in ENG 102 I got an A+, (same instructor).

I was embarrassed by ENG 101, but such is life, no one's fault bu my own, and I learned a valuable lesson. bush on yhe other hand, after 7+ years of making incredibly asinine statements on the world stage, still hasn't figured out he he is possibly the worst public speaker that the presidency ever had. Even Calvin, "Silent Cal", Coolidge was smart enough to keep his trap shut...:D

[Botany]

28. The funny thing is that "they" expect us to buy such blatant lie.

There is no doubt in my mind when history was written, the final page will say victory was achieved by
the United States of America for the good of the world.

BTW Do not spend more than 5 minutes @ Dubyaspeak @ a time.
Because the idea this idiot ever became President without some major
"help" is pure rubbish.

[rasputin1952]

39. Sheesh...my eyes hurt! It is actually quite difficult to read some

of that!

:D

[Skittles]

30. is uniter even a word

?

[rasputin1952]

40. According to WordWeb, it is not a word that is recognized...

"derives from 'unite'"

"search web?"

Guess he just figured he'd toss it out there to see what happens...:)

[malaise]

37. He's wrong on that too

He's united the majority of the country against him and his fellow Rethugs.

[rasputin1952]

41. The one thing he really did do that can be considered a ...

"success"...:D

[malaise]

48. Indeed

:D

[Ishoutandscream2]

12. Fox, catapulting the propaganda til the very, very end

357 days left to bullshit for Bushler.

[Jed Dilligan]

13. Yes, he is

He has always been good at writing checks using money that was given to him.

[Angleae]

14. See spot

That is exacting

[TahitiNut]

18. Everything he's gotten has been a gift - he's earned nothing. What else is new?

:shrug:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. So... the insinuation is that he will have scripted the SOTU?

Bwaahhahahahahh :rofl:

[LiberalFighter]

23. Would a speech writer working for Bush say otherwise?

[DemGa]

26. They've given us the age of "just keep throwing s***

something will stick!"

[BurtWorm]

27. Here's one of my favorite pieces of Bush's writings

[Virginia Dare]

43. Ranks right up there with the Gettysburg Address..

no doubt that piece of paper will have a prominent place in the chimpy mcbush library right next to his copy of "My Pet Goat".

[Elidor]

29. A gifted writer or a wite grifter?

Okay, it's a slight stretch. Work with me here.

[krispos42]

31. I think they dropped a vowel there somewhere

Let's see...

Ah, okay: George W Bush is a gifted waiter

That makes a bit more sense now. Enough to soothe my mind, at least.

[deacon]

32. Yes, we saw some of his poems to Laura :/ Evidently, no assistence from Cyrano. :)

[rasputin1952]

38. LOL....I had forgotten the "lump in the bed"...

Now that's romantic!

:rofl:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

44. Apocryphal.

2. I heard that George Bush wrote a poem to his wife in which he called her "my lump in the bed." Is this true?

No. The misconception that this poem was written by George W. Bush can, ironically, be attributed to First Lady Laura Bush. In her prefatory remarks at the October 3, 2003 National Book Festival Gala, Mrs. Bush told attendees:

"President Bush is a great leader and husband - but I bet you didn't know, he is also quite the poet. Upon returning home last night from my long trip, I found a lovely poem waiting for me. Normally, I wouldn't share something so personal, but since we're celebrating great writers, I can't resist."

Here is the poem that Mrs. Bush read:

Dear Laura,

Roses are red, violets are blue, oh my lump in the bed, how I've missed you.

Roses are redder, bluer am I, seeing you kissed by that charming French guy.

The dogs and the cat they miss you too, Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe.

The distance my dear has been such a barrier, next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier.

Although the poem is written in the voice of President Bush, and Mrs. Bush herself said the poem was written by her husband, it turns out Laura was playing a small joke on her listeners. During the December 28, 2003 broadcast of Meet the Press, on which Mrs. Bush was a guest, she responded to Tim Russert's playful query about who wrote the poem by saying:

"Well, of course, he didn't really write the poem. But a lot of people really believed that he did. That evening at the dinner, what some woman from across the table said: 'You just don't know how great it is to have a husband who would write a poem for you.'"

The true author of this poem remains unknown; it is presumed a White House staffer (or staffers) played a hand in its composition.
