Product Description
Product Description
Being the leader of the free world has its perks-nice house, free travel, ability to order a military strike on anybody you don't like. But there's also a potential downside-people pay attention to what you say and usually write it down. Depending upon your level of eloquence, that could be a problem. Take for example, our 43rd president George W. Bush. He is notorious for (among other things) not so much turning a phrase as twisting, folding, stapling, and mutilating it. Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of Slate magazine, took note of this in his books George W. Bushisms, More George W. Bushisms, and Still More George W. Bushisms, which have sold more than 300,000 copies. He collected such unintentionally funny verbal gaffes as, "I know what I believe, I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe-I believe what I believe is right," and "If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow." This calendar continues his sorry litany of verbal miscues, presenting a classic or more recent example on each page. Whether you're amused or alarmed, the humor quotient can't be misunderstimated.

Not shallow enough, Jan 19 2005
By S. Nelson "ZippyDog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: George W Bushisms: The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of our 43rd President 2005 Day-to-Day Calendar (Calendar)
Though the Bushisms speak for themselves, there is limited context. Part of the fun of Bushisms for me is trying to understand what he was actually trying to say--if that is possible.

This is just too funny!, Oct 12 2004
By SBJ400 "SBJ400" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: George W Bushisms: The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of our 43rd President 2005 Day-to-Day Calendar (Calendar)
This calendar is very similar to the Bushisms books. Excellent content and funny pictures.You get a nice, daily dose of our very stupid President! This will help to remind you to never vote for such an idiot again.
Whether you are Democrat or a Republican, it does not matter. A smart, COMPETENT, intelligent leader is admirable regardless of party affiliation.
BUSH, on the other hand, is the poster child for incompetence!
Listmania!
