1. I think he was trying to say
that the woman (reporter) who claimed he had dyslexia never interviewed HIM. He was denying he had dyslexia and screwed up his denial, if I recall correctly.

2. oh my gawd...people need to revisit these
The Texas governor, who spoke passionately of the need for
"plain-spoken Americans in the White House," tried to appear more
Southern gentleman than good-ol' boy as he and running mate Dick
Cheney shook hands with supporters at Naperville North High School
before cantering among the crowd at the city's Last Fling 2000
parade.
But "plain-spoken" took on quite an ironic meaning just before
Bush addressed the estimated 7,500 people who gathered in and
about the makeshift outdoor arena south of the high school.
A live microphone picked up an aside in which Bush described a
New York Times reporter who had written critically of his campaign as
"a major-league ass hole." The microphone also recorded Cheney's
rejoinder of "Oh yeah, he is, big time."
The disparaging words could not be heard by most observers over
the spirited playing of a marching band and the earsplitting roar of
the crowd. Cheney later refused to discuss the incident, saying
only that Bush "made a private comment to me."
...sounds very "presidential".. ---Naperville Sun - 09/06/00 - Thanks Chris

3. I believe dyslexia is a sign of high intelligence
which leaves Bush out.

Michelangelo was dyslexic.

Did'ja hear about the dyslexic agnostic? He wasn't sure there was a doG.

Heh, heh... shut up, gman!
