Talk:Bushism

Hello, Ed Poor! I wanted to ask you about the examples you deleted. I understand the last one is unsourced (but easily verifiable). However, the third one ("If you want to help, give cash money to the Red Cross and the Salvation Army") had an undisputable source. Why did you delete it, exactly? -Aralin 15:06, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

Perhaps you could explain how it's a Bushism, for those of us who are a little slow? HelpJazz 16:03, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

Sure, and sorry. It is redundant, that is, more than is needed, desired or required. Repetitive, verbose, superfluous, tautologous. -Aralin 16:28, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

I know what redundant means, thanks.... Are you trying to say that it's a Bushism because he said "cash money"? That seems to be the only redundant part, and it's not exactly a made up phrase. Or am I missing something?

By the way, I agree with you on "misunderestimate;" it's easily the most famous Bushism. HelpJazz 16:36, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

Distortion

Jenkins, you have completely distorted this article. By general consensus, a Bushism is a word or a phrase misspelled or incoherently said by George W. Bush. I know he has many virtues, but he's not the Great Communicator, like President Reagan was, or at least plain spoken. -Aralin 16:46, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
