Oops!

Everyone makes verbal gaffs in public speaking. It's only human. But the quantity and quality of the errors is something which tells us a lot about the speaker. This is so especially when the speaker doesn't seem to be aware at all - even after the fact - that he or she has made the error. When there are just too many stupid statements from one person, we must assume the person in question is intellectually challenged in some way. Right? So what are we to think of the following list?

"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country. "
- George W. Bush


"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
- George W. Bush


"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'. "
- George W. Bush


"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."
- George W. Bush


"The future will be better tomorrow. " George W. Bush

"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world. "
- George W. Bush


"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."
- George W. Bush


" We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe.
We are a part of Europe."
- George W. Bush


"Public speaking is very easy."
- George W. Bush


"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." - George W. Bush


"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur. "
- George W. Bush


"For NASA, space is still a high priority."
- George W. Bush


" Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."
- George W. Bush


" It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. "
- George W. Bush


"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
- George W. Bush

"Ahh ...Gee, you see, it's really hard being stupid. In other words, it's not easy to be as dumb as me. That's because it's really hard to ignorant."
