Bush couldn't pronounce, "Abu-Grub", "Ooga-Booga"
Edited on Wed May-26-04 11:01 PM by cliss
What is George Bush's problem? In his speech last night, he tried to pronounce the word, Abu Ghraib three times, and botched them all. George apparently rehearsed the word for 1/2 hour before his speech. When it came time for the speech, however, he couldn't muster it.

Here's what he said: #1: Abugah-Rayp (hm, Freudian slip?)
#2: Abu-Garon (someone I know?)
#3: Abu-Garah.

Try as he might, he couldn't do it. His butchering of the name of the notorious prison cheapened his speech and made him into a laughingstock. tsk tsk. I have some practice words for Old George. This will help him get it right:

ABU = like A-BOO, or peek-a-boo like your mom used to play under the blankie.

GHRAIB = like GRAB, like grabbing the presidency, but you have to say it with a texas twang, like "GRABE", "Old Abe", or "pray" or "GRAPE", the stuff that wine is made of.

Now try with me: A-B-U_ _ _ G-H-R-A-I-B.


Democrats.com has an article about it.
