New 'Bushism' Born at Bill Signing

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of ``Bushisms'' on Thursday, declaring that his administration will ``never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people.''

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

``Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,'' Bush said. ``They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.''

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.

The president was working his way toward a larger point. ``We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking,'' he said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement ``just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak.''

``But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it,'' McClellan said.

They just showed him on Sky News saying it. I was in stitches laughing.

If Kerry can't beat someone with such profound problems speaking his native language, well.... :rolleyes:

At one time they expected the US president to be one of 'the best and the brightest' of the country (Wilson was a professor at Harvard), and now look at what they got. Pretty sad. This is what happens when all the idiots are allowed to vote! Just kidding...

Well his policies and those of many others in his and previous administrations, have put his people in danger.

Thanks for those video clip links. What an idiot. Far be it from me to deny people the right to be imperfect but someone weilding that power, making such faux pas constantly.... :rolleyes:

It's no doubt deliberate to reassure the American people that "yes you are cleverer than your president, no worries about him putting one over on you". I mean with the amount of proof readers he must have there's no way these things could be slipping through simply by accident.

It could have been fun if it wasn't about such serious matters....

While it was an obvious gaff, which anyone can do..the scary thing is that it may very well be true.

Another MP3-Bushism:
During a conference with about 7.500 journalists, he was asked about the souvereignty of the American indian tribes and how conflicts between such tribes and the US government would be resolved, GWB became slightly nervous: "Tribal sovereignty means that. It's sovereign. You're a ... you're a ... you've been given sovereignty and you're viewed as a sovereign entity." (whereby "sovereign" sometimes sounds like "sobering"): http://www.majorityreportradio.com/weblog/archives/Bush%20-%20Tribal%20Sovereignty.mp3
