Bushism of the day

I'm not a total fan of piling on our president's malapropisms, but this one (pointed out on Daily Kos) struck me as particularly funny. Obviously, the dead don't usually wonder too much about tomorrow.


Laura and I want to wish everybody a happy Mother's Day. It's just a special day to give thanks to our Moms; appreciate the hard work that Moms do. And I understand that for some, however, Mother's Day is a sad day for those who lost their lives in Oklahoma and Missouri and Georgia because of the tornadoes, are wondering whether or not tomorrow will be a bright and hopeful day.

I see many such statements in my life as a composition instructor. This semester, one student wrote how he had a friend attacked by a band of "armed rubbers." They don't quite tickle me as they used to, but it's one thing I'll miss as I move to greener pastures.
