All politicians are prone to make slips of the tongue in the heat
of the moment - and President George W Bush has made more than most.

The word "Bushism" has been coined to label his occasional
verbal lapses during eight years in office, which come to an end on 20
January.

Here are some of his most memorable pronouncements.

"They misunderestimated me."

Dumbest president of the dumbest people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Bushism is a neologism that refers to a number of peculiar words, phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms, and semantic or linguistic errors that have occurred in the public speaking of United States President George W. Bush and, before that, of his father George H. W. Bush, a former United States president.^[1][2] The term has become part of popular folklore and is the basis of a number of websites and published books. It is often used to caricature the two presidents. Common characteristics include malapropisms, the creation of neologisms, and spoonerisms.

The Bushes' misuse of the English language in formal and public
speeches has spawned dozens of books that document the phenomenon. The
majority are written by Slate magazine editor Jacob Weisberg. The first, Bushisms, was released in 2002. The Bushism books have been received well around the world, with editions released in Germany, France, and Italy landing on best seller lists.^[3] A poem entitled Make the Pie Higher,
composed entirely of Bushisms, was compiled by high school English
teacher Dirk Schulze under the pseudonym of Richard Thompson, as an
example of a found poem for his students.
