Did Bush really say "arabocracy" today?

[jdj]

I heard someone mention this in one of my classes today from a speech he gave...did he mean and arab democracy, or is this just a rumor?

1. Either way, it sounds right.

Maybe it's what he should say. It's less difficult to remembber just one word rather than two.

[jdj]

3. that's not a word, though.

I think all this mispronunciation is Rovian crap, but I'd just like to know if anyone else caught it, I googled but nothing came up.

4. LMAO!!! po' widdle buddy bush, he has such a difficult time w/enunciation

I've also noticed he has cotton mouth a lot. I wonder why?

[BrainRants]

2. He must have been hammered again, he mispronounced Lebanon too...

Something like "Belbanon", then he corrected himself (or more accurately, someone in his ear piece corrected him).

He's always giving mexxed missages.

5. Freudian slips, passive agressiveness, intentional, or enunciation probs?

jdj: I've wondered myself if it's intentional or at least passive agressive, like those, "ooops, I didn't mean to insult you" type remarks. Sideways digs are very nasty. This administration seems to have mastered the various techniques of manipulation.

Could be Freudian slips too.

6. Or it could be too much Tequila... n/t

7. It's intentional. He's a Yalie.

This is good ol' Rove telling him how to appeal to the little people, they started with stealing Jimmy Carter's "nukular". They wanted Bush to have the aura of someone like Carter when he is a MBA SOB. If you read the articles published by the Japanese economics professor (I think they are archived on Buzzflash, maybe) who taught Bush, he in college seemd to sound alot more like Grover Norgist than Gomer Pyle.

This is just a marketing campaign, no matter how much we libs enjoy it and chuckle over it.

8. That's what my husband thinks too

He thinks it's intentional because it makes Bush supporters feel more comfortable with him in that it appears that Bush is as dumb as they are.

I'm not sure. He does seem to have some physiological issues. He gets those weird dazed looks on his face, almost as if he is having a grand mal seizure. He also gets tripped up easily.

9. If he isn't stupid he's missing a damn good chance.

Or it's a Hell of an act. He's got me convinced.

[pretzel4gore]

10. he's morally sick....

he attacked his own country, while in control of its means of defense, and he has systematically schemed to destroy part of it (the liberal part)...
he can never repent of what he's done; can never confess....a puppy chasing a ball into traffic is 'stupid', in that regard bushwack aint, but he's something....
