Bushisms at the White House

BuzzFlash has discovered that even transcribers at the White House are leery of Dumbya's use of the English language. Here are some samples they found at www.WhiteHouse.gov

I sent a supplemental up to the United States Congress recently to make sure our troops what they have they need [sic] to be able to do their jobs. (5-17-06)

A 19-year-old [sic] veteran of the police force, Officer Cox was off-duty when he stepped up to help fellow officers in pursuit of a suspect. (5-15-06)
(a teenager was already a veteran cop?)

I was not pleased that Hamas has refused to announce [sic] its desire to destroy Israel. (5-7-06)

I'm pleased to report that it's got some good news for the American taxpayer. This economy is growing, federal taxes are rising [sic], and we're cutting the federal deficit faster than we expected. (7-11-06)
(rising taxes means good news?)

I was more than happy to sign its extension, and we've been very hard [sic] in implementing it. (4-10-06)

I strongly believe what we're doing is the right thing. If I didn't believe it -- I'm going to repeat what I said before -- I'd pull the troops out, nor if I believed we could win [sic], I would pull the troops out. (4-6-06)

In the 1980s, the United States helped Afghan freedom fighters drive the Soviet Red Army from Kabul, and once the Soviets withdrew, we decided our work was finished and left the Afghans to defend [sic] for themselves. Soon the terrorists moved in to fill the vacuum. (3-29-06)
(the word mix-up wasn't even the biggest problem here. Last time we checked, the "freedom fighters" we helped - like bin Laden - were the terrorists)

The people of the city (Tal Afar, Iraq) still have many challenges to overcome, including old-age [sic] resentments that still create suspicion. (3-20-06)
(so now he's blaming Iraq on the elderly?)

Specter shows true self

For all his bluster against the Bush White House policies on spying on Americans, Sen. Arlen Specter is nothing more than a impotent blow hard, bowing down to the Bushites at every opportunity.

This is evidenced by his recent fight with the White House over the illegal eavesdropping on U.S. citizens by the NSA. Sure, it looks like the Bushites backed down on their assertion that the Feckless Leader has unlimited wartime powers, but what about the deal to go to the FISA court?

According to this by Time Magazine's Massimo Calabresi:

However the specific agreement to have the program reviewed by the court, Specter and Gonzales said, is not actually written into the bill, and is valid only if the bill makes it through the House and Senate unaltered. The deal also requires in writing twice-yearly reports to the congressional intelligence committees on "any electronic surveillance programs in effect." And it would also give the Administration more time to apply for warrants retroactively after an emergency eavesdropping operation has already begun.

Sounds like a real tough deal for the Bushites, eh?

If Specter keeps this up, it won't be much longer before Bush has complete dictatorial powers handed to him by cowards like Specter.
