United States President George Bush's long, rambling sentences and grammatically incorrect speeches have finally got the honor they deserved!
Bush's famous gaffes have won him this year's not-so-coveted Foot in Mouth Lifetime Achievement Award, reports the New York Daily News.
While handing out the title, PEC praised Bush for "capturing the spirit of every true gobbledegooker" by using his unique way with words to address a wide range of subjects.
"I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" was just one of the Bushisms singled out for special praise, along with a comment he made on a visit to Rome in 2001, Bush said: "I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right."
President Bush declares, "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
Some more gems from George W:
- "Rarely is the question asked - is our children learning?"
- "It's clearly a budget. It's got lots of numbers in it."
- "The Afghan fighters have no disregard for human life.".
- "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
- "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it.
- "I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace."
While we appreciate and laud Bush and accept he was thoroughly deserving of the award, we want to lodge an official protest that none of the Indian leaders or celebrities were considered.
We will do a campaign for a more transparent process in future. We will soon be launching an online petition forum for this. Watch this space for details!
