No Freakin’ Fair!
Everyone has their personal favorite among the various dumb-ass things our Torturer in Chief has said. Some are fond of his “Ask Tony Blair!” scream at the debate. More recently, we had the wonderful “I’m the decider, and I decide what is best.” Others just love those big words he can’t get out quite right:
- eckullectic
- perpetuators
- nukyular
- clandessintly
- terrist, which I actually hear as closer to “turst”
My absolute favorite, and I don’t really know why, is one in which he elides a sentence which, for most people, would be four or five words (one of them can be a contraction of two) into a single three-syllable word. It’s the one he uses when he wants you to know that he has positive feelings for a person. No, I’m not talking about peering into “Vladamer’s” heart and trusting that he believes in democracy. I mean the lovely, folksy, down-homey higoomayh. Just mouse over the word if you require a translation.
So I was so excited that Bush came out in support of Denny “Grand Slam Breakfast” Hastert, because I knew he was going to look straight in the cameras and give us a solemn, straight from the heart higoomayh. But he didn’t! Instead, we got stuck with “I know Denny Hastert, I meet with him a lot. He is a father, teacher, coach, who cares about the children of this country.” No fair!
Sure it was a dumb thing to say, but it wasn’t dumb enough.

Well, actually. It WAS really quite stupid.
As a teacher and a coach, Hastert should have known that he was a mandated reporter:
“Every K-12 teacher in the state of Illinois is required to fill out this form, acknowledging that they recognize their legal esponsibility to report any potential child abuse, should there be what is deemed reasonable cause to believe that a child known to them in their professional or official capacity may be an abused or neglected child”. .

Well, that clearly demonstrates that Bushy cannot say of Denny “higoocoach” or “higooteach,” but I still wish he’d given us a good strong “higoomayh” just for the sake of my own jollies.
It doesn’t matter that it would have been a lie. That’s never stopped him before.

Holy crap.
I just noticed that BG linked to this post from C&L. I don’t know what she was thinking, but before anyone gets angry, let me just say that this is not a political post. I just enjoy making fun of the fact that Bushy’s kinda dumb and he talks funny.
