| Top Bushisms in the Category of: Mispronunciation | |
|
Mispronounciation is probably the simpliest - and most frequent - of the President's mistakes. There are literally hundreds of these, but I've chosen a small handful. Some could be said to belong to other categories, but they all highlight the fact that George W. Bush doesn't really listen to the words coming out of his mouth - because he rarely stops and corrects his mistake. |
