One of the most recent bushisms really isn’t even something that he misspoke. In a recent videoconference with
"I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger.”
When I saw this quote on the “Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger” (by the way, I really recommend this link, it's hilarious) on the Colbert Report, I must say, I was completely surprised. Granted, I was getting my news from a liberal talk show, but still. I understand that President Bush wishes to raise the morale of the troops, but pretending like they’re having all made-for-touching-movie special moments is ridiculous. Obviously I don’t understand what troops are going through any more than he does, but at least I admit that I’m sure they’d rather be home with their friends and family. What can I say? Sometimes I am utterly shocked and alarmed at the things that come out of his mouth.
