Make the Pie Higher I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen And uncertainty And potential mental losses. Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the internet Become more few? How many hands have I shaked? They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish Can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope Where our wings take dream. Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 01/24/07 1:46 pm: just an addendum : most if not all these utterances were stated in the heat of the 2000 election . I would like to see recent examples of his verbal gaffes if they are available (except 'misunderestimate' which he has evidently latched onto as a signatue malaprop) Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 01/24/07 3:46 pm: Elliot , Goldwyn's stuff is so ingrained that people don't even know he said them. "An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on." "Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined." classics !

'They misunderestimate me' is a dead give-away. My extemporaneous speech compared to my other communication skills is also a lot to be desired . Thankfully all my utterances aren't examined through a fine tooth comb. Bush has the good sense to look at this weakness of his humorously to the point that he even gave kudos to 'Bushisms'. Maybe when he is out of office he can cash in on them like Yogi Berra has done. If you are not familiar ,Berra is a famous former Baseball player who is known for his various malaprops. His tendency to use them elevated him to the level of a folk philosopher simular to Will Rogers ,and many of them have become part of the lexicon ...[example when you come to a cross in the road take it ]. I fully expect that 'Bushisms ' will be part of President Bush's legacy,and they will be recalled fondly.
