'Bush speak' a sophisticated 'deception'
http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060515-040024-3645r

CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 15 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush has waged a verbal "operation of deception" that shows an impressive use of language, two University of Illinois authors say.

Far from being verbally challenged, so-called "Bush speak" has used deceptions and policies that are "a massive campaign to change the ways Americans think about democracy, globalization and empire," wrote authors Stephen Hartnett and Laura Ann Stengrim.

Their book, which says Bush colleagues also employ the practice, is titled "Globalization and Empire: The U.S. Invasion of Iraq, Free Markets, and the Twilight of Democracy."

The analysis says Bush administration statements often conflict with reality.

3. Bush words may sound dumb
but each word is very carefully selected.
Bush speaks from prepared scripts... even when it appears ad hoc.
He's 100 talking points 100 percent of the time.
He knows exactly what he's doing and what he's saying.
You don't weasel your way up to become President
of the United States (against all votes) by being a dumb shit.

Evil .. most certainly

4. I don't know...
perhaps his handlers are the truly evil ones ... he certainly does seem to have a pretty hard time speaking coherently.

Are you saying that when he said "disassemble" instead of "dissemble" that that was intentional?
