Whoowh...

That page played like a very bad drug flashback in far too many ways for me.

Thanks Luke.

Al Gore invented 3 different kinds of internet.

Assuming this is what I think it is, I did a double-take myself when Bush said internets.

But, in his defense, I've heard of a project called Internet2. Its a group of colleges that are attempting to build a super-high-speed connection system between themselves, not unlike the original intent of the Internet. My old college was part of it.
They're site says:
Quote
Internet2 is a consortium being led by 207 universities working in partnership with industry and government to develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet. Internet2 is recreating the partnership among academia, industry and government that fostered today´s Internet in its infancy. The primary goals of Internet2 are to:
- Create a leading edge network capability for the national research community
- Enable revolutionary Internet applications
- Ensure the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to the broader Internet community.


So, from a certain point of view one could consider there to be multiple internets.

Right... and from a certain point of view, I could actually believe that Bush knows about this. (A certain point of view... and enough Wild Turkey.)
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

So what? The man misspoke. Kerry said he voted for the 87 Billion Dollars for the Military before voting against it.

That doesn't really bother me. Except the voting against it part.

hey i understand he can make mistakes....

but considering he made a mistake on something so obvious (such as Internet which is only been mentioned in every paper and magazine since its existence) and the fact that he didnt correct himself just shows how qualified for the position of running a country...
Internet being confused with InternetS... im sorry thats just pathetic...
the least he could have done was correct himself...

let's not forget about his constant pronunciation of new-cu-lar...

So's DAYV, and I seriously doubt we'd see him pulling as many bonehead moves as Dubya.

Ohh, guys, c'mon - isn't it obvious for you that Clinton was among the audience on that day and he did a loud "sss" sound after Mr. President said properly "Internet"? It was a ....err... sab-oh-tage. It ain't no bullsh*t, right Chaltab?

Darth Chaltab: No. I was watching the show thoroughly (few times, as I taped it on VHS) and it's clear to me that this walking-stick Kerry farted and this made the hiSSSing sound. Low play, that's what I say.
And RRS, you're siding with Kerry only because his grandpa was a Polish Jew.
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

bah bush mispoke, there is no need to defend him, he doesnt even defend himself. Remember that he made fun of himself and his abilities, or lack there of, with the english language in the last debate.

I think it's because he was dropped on his head a few too many times as an infant; just look @ the shape of his head.

Coming from Texas doesn't make you stupid. Is it not equally stupid to discredit someone's intelligence based on their accent? What if Einstein had been Texan rather than Judeo-German? Would it make him stupid to have an accent or to misspeak? At least Bush is honest about it.

Darth Chaltab, motti said that in defense of the Lone Star State, because your words could be understand in many ways... like "he makes silly mistakes because he's from Texas" or (stronger version) "he's stupid because he's from Texas" and not what you meant "he talks this way because people from Texas often do that".

The problem with Dubya is not the occasional misspeaking or peculiar accent. It's just that some of his sentences can be understand in completely different way as he [presumably] intended, and this is due to his flip flops. Take the recent (and already famous) quote "...and neither do we." You should know what I'm talking about
Sure, everybody does mistakes. But Dubya seems to make too much of them and some of us can't see the benefits that would offset them.

Besides, being a head of an international superpower (or any other country) requires some sort of dignity. So what that your uneducated yet hard working butcher or dustman is honest - would they fit into the President's shoes?

Dammit, we Poles once had a professor as the President before the WW2, a darned rector of a university... Talking about the style & class, heh...
