Yes, that was what I was thinking too, **Zhen’ka**. As much of a bumbling, incompetent moron as I think Bush is, I was a bit stunned to hear an audience openly laughing at a President.

Wow, this rhetorical device you’ve been busting out lately is really compelling, **Maud’Dib**. I’d never really noticed how handily restating an observation in simplified, misspelled AOLspeak totally negates it.

Let me try:

OMFG a obtuse triangel has one angel thats grater than 90°!

That’s so awesome. Thanks!

Does anyone else remember Bush giving a speech in which he proudly proclaimed himself to be a wartime president? I clearly remember it and the feeling of disgust that washed over me as I realized he got a huge woody from being involved in a war or two as president.

Maybe it’s just my memory…
