A lesson in Clarity
Well folks some times my job is just too easy! In this week's addition of TIME George W. Bush is quotes as saying, I kid you not, "The American President must speak clearly and mean what he says!"
Welcome to the twlight zone. Here a some of my favorite examples of just how well G.W. speaks clearly and means what he says.
"If you don't stand for anything, then you don't stand for anything." 11-02-00
"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." 10-18-00
"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question." 10-4-00
"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness"
"We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile"
"I want to thank my friend, Sen. Bill Frist, for joining us today. … He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. (Laughter.) Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me!" 5-27-04
"More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than—I say more Muslims—a lot of Muslims have died—I don't know the exact count—at Istanbul. Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill." 1-29-04
"Why don't you volunteer? Why don't you mentor a child how to read?" 1-5-04
"The vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice." 10-27-03
"[W]hether they be Christian, Jew, or Muslim, or Hindu, people have heard the universal call to love a neighbor just like they'd like to be called themselves," 10-8-03
"It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America." This comment was made in West Africa!
"I'm the master of low expectations." 6-4-03
"I think the American people—I hope the American–I don't think, let me—I hope the American people trust me," 12-18-02
Well the list could go on and on. For more examples check out This Site. I for one am just glad the American President can speak clearly and mean what he says. Well maybe he knows what he means, anyway!

These comments point out 2 things:
1) Bush does not speak clearly
2) He does not mean what he says
And as much as I distrust Cheney, sometimes I'm glad that he's really the one in charge, given how stupid Bush is.
