OMG, Bush calls MoveOn.org "MoveOn-dot-something"

[wicket]

He really sucks at the internets :rofl:

-snip-

The president told the assembled guests that “groups like MoveOn-dot-something” have been attending congressional town-hall meetings and “raising cane” about Social Security reform. Meanwhile, Bush said, “our folks have been working” on changing the entitlement system, the source wrote in an e-mail.

[liberal N proud]

1. He couldn't remember the COM!

[fryguy]

3. never mind

i guess its both now...i always use ORG though....

[Richardo]

4. Psst: 'org'

:)

But he couldn't remember THAT either.

[aden_nak]

5. He probably knew it wasn't DOT COM but that's the only one he knows.

Either that or he was afraid that DOT ORG would upset his fundie base, fearing it had something to do with ORGans or ORGasms or ORGies. I am waiting, seriously waiting for the day that he directs people to whitehouse.com.

[mtnester]

17. From your mouth to God's ears n/t

[aden_nak]

24. He's heard me say worse.

[cascadiance]

22. Or worse yet he might have pronounced it "moveon.orgy"

Perhaps his handlers intentionally left out telling him the full domain name extension to ensure that he wouldn't blow it saying it that way. Would have been worse than this faux pas.

[aden_nak]

23. Or at least "ORJ". Probably right.

[damntexdem]

21. But he gave them some publicity.

And Dubya has always been bad at both the organizational thing and the commercial thing. And now his brain is busy working on its own little problem involving the treason thing. ;-)

[aden_nak]

2. RUMORS!

[Richardo]

6. Editor wanted: The phrase is 'raising cain' not 'raising cane'

:eyes:

[Taverner]

9. Yes isn't 'raising cane' something they do in Hawaii, Cuba, and PR?

so's we can have table sugar?

[mtnester]

18. And rum don't forget

[Catherine Vincent]

7. If you think that's funny, listen to this goof that Clinton made recently.

Clinton gave a speech at some University and took questions afterwards. He was talking about something that would be released on "vcr" and then he continued talking. The students in the audience were laughing but he didn't know why. I think it was Erskin Bowels next to him that corrected him and said "DVD Mr. President". This was on CSPAN last week.

[Raenelle]

16. Boomer senility

I still refer to albums.

[Bucky]

31. Sadly, I had to read your Clinton quote twice before getting the mistake

I'm 41 and proud to be going senile as a Democrat.

[Catherine Vincent]

34. I'm not very good at 'splaining things.

But you have to realize those were just kids (as opposed to our age), and they probably didn't know what a vcr is.:-)

[Squatch]

8. Or, it could be a very dismissive comment

designed to minimize the importance of that particular PAC.

[wicket]

13. Very true

That is a definite possibility and it's his MO.

[YOY]

10. Shame he didn't say "Dot Gov"

That would be hilarious indeed!

[peekaloo]

11. Yeah Cheney has the same problem with .coms/orgs.

:rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. At least he didn't call them "Movey-Move" n/t

[Bucky]

30. HA! Or "MoveBlossom"

[Bill McBlueState]

14. reminds me of another simpleton

But who would sit around watching * cartoons all afternoon?

[aden_nak]

25. I don't think Bush could even FIND Homestar Runner.

Welcome aboard the USS Homestarrunner!

[wicket]

28. I heard he wants a "mission accomplished" sign on the USS Homestarrunner

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[aden_nak]

35. And a propeller cap. He needs a propeller cap.

[Stirk]

15. Oh, come on. Give him a break.

There are lots of internets out there. It's hard work!

[rman]

19. How amusing, lets dwell on that for the rest of the day,

it's not like there are more important issues anyway.

[wicket]

20. yes, we must be serious all of the time

There is no time for humor, thanks for setting us straight! :eyes:

[aden_nak]

26. Hey now, I can post about Plame AND make fun of George.

I'm an IT guy. We multitask.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. "entitlement system" wtf?

What does the little worm** mean by "entitlement" system?

[JHB]

32. I'm sure you can figure that out...

Social Security, Medicare, meat inspectors, bank examiners, etc.

Anything involving the government that works in favor of anyone who is non-superrich.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

33. I assumed it referred to how benefits are calculated.

But you should never assume with this bunch.

[Minstrel Boy]

29. On the other hand,

he may have known, but didn't want to direct people to the site.
