I find it just stunning that President Bush, of all people, would make fun of a verbal misstep by his opponent. Interestingly, I don't recall hearing Kerry make fun of President Bush's endless stream of malapropisms (though it's certainly possible I just missed it).

Bush readily admits his lack of English speaking capabilities. When will Kerry admit that he isn't a red sox fan?

And is it really a misstep, or is Kerry just stupid?

If this is true (please supply a link), why do you suppose he'd mock someone else for misspeaking?

Goodbye!!

I'm not quite sure I follow the mod's reasoning on that...

Interesting strategy Rove has.

He said it in one of the debates. Something about his wife speaks English better than he does

Question 20: What have you learned from your wife and daughters?

SCHIEFFER: We've come, gentlemen, to our last question. And it occurred to me as I came to this debate tonight that the three of us share something. All three of us are surrounded by very strong women. We're all married to strong women. Each of us have two daughters that make us very proud.

I'd like to ask each of you, what is the most important thing you've learned from these strong women?

BUSH: To listen to them.

(LAUGHTER)

To stand up straight and not scowl.

(LAUGHTER)

I love the strong women around me. I can't tell you how much I love my wife and our daughters.

I am -- you know it's really interesting. I tell the people on the campaign trail, when I asked Laura to marry me, she said, "Fine, just so long as I never have to give a speech."

I said, "OK, you've got a deal."

Fortunately, she didn't hold me to that deal. And she's out campaigning along with our girls. And she speaks English a lot better than I do.

I think people understand what she's saying.

But they see a compassionate, strong, great first lady in Laura Bush.

Haven't you heard him many times say that he isn't good with the english language? He does it all the time.

Kerry doesn't misspeak, he is stupid. That's worth mocking. No redsox fan (especially a diehard as kerry claims to be) could forget the name of the best 2 players on their team.

Because Bush has nothing to run on except for Kerry.

Perhaps he should consider suing Andover and Yale!
