What Fires You Up?

10/01/2004

 

This post today from Political Animal (Kevin Drum) has quotes from last night's Bush showing at the debate. And here I thought I was the only one who noticed several bloopers and "mis-speak". Here is what is from the post: Here are the nominees:

• "He forgot Poland."
• "It's like a huge tax gap."
• "Let me finish."
• "Of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that."
• "I've got a good relation with Vladimir."

UPDATE: Other favorites from comments:

• "It's hard work to try to love her as best as I can."
• "I'm trying to put a leash on them."
• "the Iranian moooooo-laws...."

ANOTHER UPDATE: Via Dan Drezner (and confirmed by Webster's New World Dictionary), the first syllable of "mullah" can indeed be pronounced "moo." Who knew? However, it still ought to be moo-luh, not moo-law....—Kevin Drum
