    Just while we are on his gaffes and APEC I was reminded last night about a couple of other very embarrassing moments for Mr Bush recently

    Bush: OPEC or APEC - The Huffington Post

    In his speech to the APEC summit in Sydney recently he thanked us for being such fine hosts of OPEC..? And told the gathering how John Howard (Oz PM) had recently been to Iraq to visit AUSTRIAN troops. Hahaha. I wish. Have you seen Austrian women??

    No we weren't too insulted but it doesn't look good for the leader of the worlds most powerful country does it??

    Gee they (rep or dem) can't even get their for and against stuff right. It is surprising they can even pronounce their OWN name!!

    Yeah, the inter-Nicene struggle puts on a public face. When is a mistake not a mistake? In language at least, the answer to this question is "When everyone adopts it." :p

    This whole issue comes down to the ancient philosophical question.

    If a faux pas by President Bush is perceived but nobody reacts to it, will the libs make noise?

    What about if a Democratic President makes a faux pas, will the conservatives make noise?

    I don't know... have they ever done so before?

    I seem to remember libs ragging on Reagan, on Bush 41, and now on W for perceived slips of the tongue.

    I don't remember anyone making any fuss over JFK's faux pas of "Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a jelly-donught") during his visit to Berlin, and that was a major-league boo-boo.

    I don't remember any comments at the time when Carter did an interview with Playboy Magazine in which he said "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do—and I have done it—and God forgives me for it."

    So you tell me the answer to that question, Tuscany.



    Oh, by the way, this is not the first time that Bush has mispronounced names of foreign leaders. In June 2001, he called Spain's Pime Minister Jose Maria Aznar "ansar" which is the Spanish word for goose.

    Bill Clinton... which again I agree was wrong.
    Hillary Clinton...
    Obama...

    Listen to Fox News sometime they are as conservative as CNN is liberal.

    And again I am not part of any political party. I vote for the person I believe would do the best job, party aside.

    By the way Wikipedia calls the grammatical faux pas an urban legend.
