what is Bush's only merit?
It's that without him many linguists would have been really bored. It seems that every time Bush opens his mouth, a piece of linguistically-interesting flow of words, or rather an inarticulate, disfluent, and at times unintelligible, bunch of words, comes out. Just now I have been enjoying this and this on the Language Log.
And it also seems that even when he doesn't open his mouth at all, Bush can be inarticulate too. Just now now I was watching on the news how he failed to go to the right exit after a press conference in China. It was hilarious as he didn't notice the apparently open exit space and went straight to a closed door, tried to open the right side, failed, then tried the left one, also failed then he stood there facing the audience for a minute with a smirk on his face. But then of course he had to open his mouth eventually to say: "I was trying to excape. It didn't work". Well, a lot of things that you try don't work, do they?
