29. does anyone else remember when Poppy was taking
halcyon?

There was one quote that I will never remember - he called the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Nitty Gritty Great Bird"

here's a link (where they fluff over all the "mis-speaks" of the BFEE

http://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/linguistics/news/bush.htm

It could just be fatigue, but it also coule be genetic. The governor's father was known for verbal missteps during his White House years. The former president once referred to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as the "Nitty Ditty Nitty Gritty Great Bird" He called the spotted owl "that little furry-feathery guy."

In a slip with Freudian overtones, the elder Bush summed up the state of his presidency at one point by saying, "We have had triumphs, we have made mistakes, we have had sex." Translators said he meant to say "setbacks."
