(thanks to the vigilant patriots at Air America Radio) I heard George Bush stumbling through one of his terrorism speeches and specifically refer to the need to increase our security at "nu-key-or power pants".
This is the sort of malapropism one woudl associate with Moe Howard or Leo Gorcey...but it is pretty much par for the course with Bush in nearly all types of speeches right down to Rose Garden greetings for the West Virginia Miss Pumpkin Pageant Winner.
Usually I chalk these groaners and gaffes up to the Prez's neurotic need to appear dumber than his core constituency...but this was one of those occasions when he was actually trying to impress them with the danger and the lateness of the hour. "Nu-key-or power pants" would seem to undercut that goal, perhaps fatally so.
I long ago decided that Bush is completly dyslexic and incapable of admitting the fact to himself or his public.
Which is pretty much the man's life-pattern, can't admit he is a drunk, can't admit he stole two elections, can't admit he lied to start the Iraq war...can't admit he is a complete and utter asshole.
So you see these problems start at home and in youth.
