This was too unbelievably stupid to not share, from one of the most prominent right-wing blogs written by an imbecile named John Hinderaker:

[/font] [/div][div style="font-family: Verdana;"][blockquote]"Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined    when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be    scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard,    President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his    example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his    words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting.    In the eight years he has been President, it    is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed.

It's so easy to forget what a careful speaker GWB has been. Time to look back on some of his more noteworthy pronouncements, each one like a tiny little point of light...

I don't think regular dope can affect your brain that much - I think you would need to snort drano daily to get that messed up.

I have never once after a Bush  speech sat and said "wow" (well not in a positive wow kinda way).
