Bush: "Childrens Do Learn"

By Oliver Willis on September 26, 2007 3
No surprise, but the President Of The United States is a farking idiot.

As a candidate, George W. Bush once asked, "Is our children learning?"

On Wednesday, he had an answer.

"Childrens do learn," he said.

The setting was, yes, an education event where the president was taking credit for rising test scores and promoting congressional renewal of his signature education law. To create the right image, he summoned the city's school chancellor, a principal, some teachers and 20 eager students from P.S. 76.

The visual worked fine. The oral? Not so much. For Bush, it was a classic malapropism, the sort of verbal miscue that occasionally bedevils him in public speaking and provides his critics easy fodder for ridicule.

2. I'm convinced that these mistakes are not mistakes...
I mean really...how could anyone make such a grave error, while they are addressing
teachers and students as they pontificate about their "signature education law"?

I think these guffaws are intentionally spoken, to perpetuate the notion that Junior
is just a shucky-darn, ordinary, harmless tumbleweed a blowin in the wind!

Pay no attention to the fact that this man is tearing apart the Constitution and
taking away our civil rights. Don't worry that any US citizen can be labeled
an "enemy combatant" taken to a secret prison, held indefinitely without charges
and tortured. Never mind that the government can secretly wiretap you without
a warrant. Ignore the PNAC agenda that is out in the open--declaring Iraq, Iran
and Syria their initial target to be conquered as part of a new-world order.

Put the truth in the back of your minds, and chew on these hilarious, funniest-home-videos
from our harmless little Presidential hayseed! Ahhhhh...isn't he so fuzzy and cute...
and he's so dull and stupid...how could anyone EVER accuse him of starting an illegal
war or sliding our country into Fascism?
