Talk:Bushisms

Quote # 4 is from Quayle, I am fairly certain. But who the fuck cares, since they are both silly neocons that bitch underneath the trembling wrath of a president that later wrote a book on why invading Iraq would be moronic. But whatever.

Not a bushism but ....

Quote of the week:

"Learn from the experts. The George Bush School of Government Certificate in Advanced International Affairs."

Damn! I used to have a whole calendar full of these things. Now, when it's becoming funny again towards the end, I can't find it! ... 11:40, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Question...

Should all of these be real, or can I add "I should run for president"? --Gen. S.T. Shrink *^{Get to the bunker}* 01:28, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Probably best to keep them real I think :-) --Bob^{bing up} 02:56, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Request to epxand section

Since Bush is out of the white house, I am suggesting we expand this section (War on Language) on the following manner:

• War on grammar in the realm of CP (or other places like ASK)
• War on definitions (of words)

Any ideas on this? Thieh 00:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

To me, bushisms are a unique snapshot in history, and deserve their own page, even though the culprit has been finally beheaded umm impeached or rather voted out of office, that is, replaced. --En attendant Godot_{"«Her intense and pure religiousness took the form of her having equal faith in the existence of another world and in the impossibility of comprehending it in terms of earthly life.

I agree with WFG. Also, K6478345, you are engaging in your own version of a war on English on this wiki, seriously, a compendium of most of your edits would be hilarious. Perhaps leave the English stuff to us and stick to being smart? ħuman 05:05, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Why not add to Dan Quayle? ħuman 04:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea... Blue (is useful) 04:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

With bilateral "see also"s, of course! ħuman 04:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

(EC²) Some citations would not go amiss, either; there are people who like inventing stupid quotes and attributing them to public figures. ListenerX^TalkerX 04:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

These check out, I believe. Citation is there. Blue (is useful) 04:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with LX. Citation where? People love to make these things up. ħuman 04:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

At the article, though I'll admit I haven't checked each individually. And it's not the best citation. Blue (pester) 05:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
