I always liked President Bush, but this was absolutely hilarious!!!!
Yup, sometimes he got his tang tungled, didn't he? It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the Word of the Day entry yesterday.
There were loads more videos but some had offensive titles and some were much, much longer.
I got angry at someone in a msg. board making fun of Bush pronouncing nuclear as "nuke-you-lur". Heck, I think that's how most Texans pronounce it and told the poster, then went on to say that Teddy Kennedy would say "I had a good idear." I never thought much of it until people would make fun of not only Bush's malapropisms, but of his Texas accent. They're welcome to ridicule the first, but the second can get them a poke in the nose.
Thanks for posting!
I liked Bush. But I just loved LBJ. If You look at old news reports of Him, His Texas accent is to Me wonderful.
