Bush makes Oxford Dictionary of Quotations |
|
LONDON (Reuters) - George W. Bush is mocked for strangling grammar. But he can hold his head up high in the new Oxford Dictionary of Quotations published on Thursday. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=584&e=1&u=/nm/20040908/pl_nm/arts_quotations_dc

2. What Bush quote was it that they printed? |
|
...The article simply says it is from the Axis of Evil speech, but unless I totally missed it, they did not print the quote.

3. They printed the whole speach, is my understanding |
|
It is considered a historical speach, evidentally. But I love how the article rips into his lack of lyrical eloquence.

6. No, it won't be the whole speech |
|
The Dictionary of Quotations is just sentences, or maybe paragraphs. It'll be the sentence with "axis of evil" in, because that phrase is what people have remembered, and what is being used as the basis of other phrases.
