What is a "pademik"?
He did it again. Why can't they hire a speech therapist for Bush? He can't he say EPIDEMIC. The applause from the Urban League was pathetic. The guy is an idiot. Why do Republicans keep making excuses for him? Why do they keep "enabling" him?

1. Maybe he meant PANdemic
But I doubt he knows the meaning of that either.

2. "Pandemic" is a lesser for of "epidemic."
Or maybe it's a greater form of epidemic. I am not sure, but it's probably what he meant.

3. Pandemic means widespread epidemic
As opposed to a local outbreak of disease.

6. I thought pan was a suffex for spanning.
I think for correct grammar it should be said "global pandemic" - spanning the globe. I'm probably wrong tho!
