WASHINGTON - President Bush welcomed “dudes and dudesses” from the U.S. Winter Olympic team on Wednesday in a White House ceremony that included a most unusual prop — a signed football jersey from Donovan McNabb.

About 190 Olympians and Paralympians from the Turin Games gathered on the sunny South Lawn for the traditional post-Olympic visit, where the president offered praise for athletes representing sports both traditional and hip.

“We want to thank all the dudes of dudesses of the snowboarders who are here,” Bush said.

1. Everyone KNOWS It's "Dudettes"

:silly:

[NashVegas]

4. I've Always INSISTED on "Ducesse"

People just can't conjugate anymore.

*sigh*

[Fierce]

5. Conjugation is for verbs.

9. Okay, Busted

:P

Even still, this may be one case - perhaps the only case ever - where Bush's phraseology may actually be correct - or at least more correct than the general populace.

[Fierce]

11. Oh, DON'T!

First you are discourteous to your grammar, then you insinuate that Bush is correct! *hits alert button*

[NashVegas]

14. Well, He's More Correct Than Anyone Who Uses "Dudette"

To address a female over the age of, say, 16.

[raccoon]

2. Sounds like a middle-school child. Or elementary. nt

[CottonBear]

3. Just when you think he couldn't be dumber, there he goes again.

:( God, has a dumbass. :(

The ceremony wrapped up a three-day visit to the nation’s capital for the athletes, who thought they had seen and heard everything possible about their Olympic adventure until Bush came up with “dudesses.”

“That’s a little different,” snowboarder Kelly Clark said. “We don’t really use that one too much.”

6. He makes a horses ass out of himself on at least...

a daily basis. Does he come up with this shit on his own or is some fool actually writing this crap for him?

[etherealtruth]

7. This is a joke, right?

Not even the Chimp can be this idiotic, right? Reassure me ...someone ...please.

I have grown so tired of being alternately horrified and embarrassed by that imbecile.

[Libby2]

8. LOL, I can't believe they still let him out in public.

[magellan]

10. I've been using that term as a laugh for ages

After moving to L.A. I started referring to myself and girlfriends as 'dudesses'. I've also threatened on occasion to shave my head, give up all my worldly possessions, and become a 'monk-ess'.

Of course, I'm not the president of the US; I possess an appropriate sense of humor for my station in life as a rebellious bitch. :)

12. Hey cluelesses it's not dudesses

:silly: joe Cool he's not ...

[Fridays Child]

18. It's an example of shallow thinking.

Which is reflected in shallow behavior. You can count on them going hand in hand.

[novalib]

I apologize if that is sexist, but that's how I've heard it.
