The best of George W Bush

BUSHISMS

President George Bush is funny


The top stupidest things president George W Bush ever said

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. 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.

This occasional misuse of the English language in formal and public speeches has spawned several books that documenting the statements.
