Bushism

I heard on Fox News this a.m. that there is a new Bushism making the rounds, in addition to strategery, one of my favorites–“misunderestimate,” as in Gore misunderestimated me. Gotta love it.Gotta love this poem, composed, according to Snopes, of actual quotes from George W. Bush:

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It’s a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
