But even yet, Ken, there are levels which few will go below. ABC also announced that only 22% of Americans placed tax cuts as their budget priority for the Bush administration. So quite a few must deal well with abstraction.
hands on spelling

"I've decided that the truth represents a measure of the overall average quality and sophistication of the American viewer base, and my decision has been supported here in AW by the republican posters in support of Dumbya."
So glad to be of service krs, I bow to your superior wit and intellect.

This story that I received in email today would verify that GW is a quick learner:
Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order to shoot him was given, he yelled out, "Earthquake!".
The firing squad fell into a panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion.
Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled and Al pondered what his old boss had done. Before the order to shoot was given, Al yelled out, "Tornado!"
Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall.
The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was thinking "I see the pattern here, just scream out a disaster and hop over the wall."
As the firing squad was reassembled and the rifles raised in his direction, he grinned and yelled, "Fire!"

Bah, hum bug Antiquary The copy I got had Gore as the guy who yelled "fire." LOL
Personally I think that Bush could have some form of dyslexia because he trips over too many common words. It doesn't make sense that a man who is known for his memory and an eye for detail could stumble over a pronoun???
I'm still a Bush fan. I like Tony Blair's assessment.
"Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair savoured the glow Sunday of his first talks with US President George W. Bush, enthusing over his grasp on world affairs and soft-pedalling on his missile plans. Returning home from their Camp David meeting, Blair could hardly have been more glowing in his praise, saying the president had been "incredibly easy to deal with, very direct, very on the ball."
Although Blair was expected to be complimentary about the president, Downing Street officials were equally enthusiastic in private.

Is it possible that Bush does have a form of dyslexia that is causing this odd word tripping. I know the dems like to say he's dumb - but he doesn't seem to have that reputation with people once they meet him. Or am I just blinded by love?

Well, we are Britian's chief ally and Blair praised and supported Clinton through all his domestic problems so my belief is that he is likely just being political.
About the dyslexia, I've read that spectulation many times but I would have thought something would have been unearthed by the media. Or it would have been used for public relations by the staff.
Maybe we could get the guy in krs', thread, In The Full Bloom of Spring, to test him.

That would be interesting!
I have heard a few times through the grapevine in Texas (small rag magazines) that his brother Neil has been officially diagnosed with dyslexia but that he is only "suspected" to have it. Personally, I think it would explain a lot. And, if he does have it he could be a great testimony to others that feel diminished by it... to prove that it doesn't have to stop you from achieving whatever you want.
My hubby's yelling at me to get to bed. For some reason he thinks I need sleep. LOL

Well if he is dyslexic they should shout it from the rooftops so people know why he speaks like the thoughts behind the speech are confused and panicky.

Dyslexia would certainly seem to make some sense in Bush's case. I have a 18 yr old nephew who has it, and although he is very bright he trips over his words, reads with some difficulty and comes across as a bit dim much of the time. I can't even imagine him having to read words off a teleprompter.

Although I should add that I don't think it was the White Houses' Panties that were in a bunch!
