Thought for the Day: 2007-10-07

Mark Crispin Miller, the author of "The Bush Dyslexicon," once made a striking observation: all of the famous Bush malapropisms -- "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family," and so on -- have involved occasions when Mr. Bush was trying to sound caring and compassionate.
-- Paul Krugman

I took a class with Miller when I was at Penn. I was so taken by him. Brush with cleverness. Thus endeth my name-dropping for the day.

Sounds like a guy I could hang out with and share a pitcher of beer.

Sornie -

That's what they said about Bush.

Brendan -

"gynecologists trying to practice their love with women"! LOL!

Clare: Do tell!

LOL @ John @ Sornie.

And John: what's this about the gynecologists? An extraneous joke leaking out of your paste buffer?

John Evo said...

Don't you remember THIS ONE ?

bjkeefe said...

ROFLMAO!!!

No, I had never heard that one. Many thanks.

Lucky for you I had swallowed my beer before I read this, or you'd be owing me at least a new keyboard.
