ONE pretty serious mistake, and IIRC he corrected that immediately afterward ("Hair pollution" is a laughably minor error and wouldn't even be noteworthy if not for fucktards looking to invoke the Golden Mean). Meanwhile we have "Bring it on!" Bush, who stumbles through any speech he has to make without a teleprompter, constantly commits malapropisms and mispronunciates simple words (Nuke-lee-ur, how fucking hard is that!?) and generally sounds like an uneducated ass.

... "Mispronounciates." My very own Bushism.

I wish I could say I did it on purpose, but I'm not quite that good. Almost, though.

I think we've discovered why you guys hate Bush virulently so; he's
living proof that there IS a Forrest Gump principle at work

John Kerry is not a good public speaker and flubbed his lines, but Bush sounds like the guy who works at the grocery store.

Oh, I'm not saying he's a good public speaker by ANY stretch of the term. IMO, a Dean-Edwards ticket would have been a considerably better and stronger one. If we're going to pick a Northeastern liberal, we should at least pick one who sounds like he cares about what he's doing and doesn't look like Lurch from the Addams Family.

But "hair pollution"? Gimme a break.

Well, let's see. Kerry's speech ran for about 45 minutes and he made two pretty serious mistakes that are worth making fun of him for. If we generously say that he was really nervous and having a bad day, and that he only makes a third as many mistakes normally, and that he only spends 12 hours/day in the public eye, and that he gets 65 days off per year, he's still making well over 3000 noteworthy mistakes a year.

And none of those mistakes will ever top Bush's use of the word "fetishes" in reference to fetuses.

The things George Bush says when he fucks up are funny. The things he says when he does not fuck up are scary.

Irrelevant.

It's all funny (as in "Are you SERIOUS!?"), and it's all scary (as in "Did you really just say you're gonna violate the Constitution you swore to uphold!?")
