The Deluxe Election Edition Bushisms
The Bush era has been a special time -- for the deficit (back, and larger than ever), for the countries formerly known as our allies, and for the English language. Here it all is, straight from the horse's, er, mouth. With new Bushisms coming fast and furious in this election season, ace Bushism editor Jacob Weisberg offers a must-read compendium and "explanation" of the first term. Read President Bush's eye-popping description of his economic policy: "See, without the tax relief package, there would have been a deficit, but there wouldn't have been the commiserate -- not 'commiserate' -- the kick to our economy that occurred as a result of the tax relief." Got that? How about this analysis ...
Even More Bushisms
In his second term in office, America's 43rd president, George W. Bush, has been keeping us Bushism-watcher's busy. Whether he's on tour in Europe or speaking to armed forces in America, Dubya just can't seem to keep those pesky words under control. Here's just a few from the last few months 'Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.' Aug. 5, 2004 'It's a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life.' Dec. 21, 2004 'If you're a younger person, you ought to be asking members of Congress and the United States Senate and the president what you intend to do about it. If you see a train wreck coming, you ought to be saying, what are you going to do about it, Mr. Congressman, or Madam Congressman?' Feb. 8, 2005 Whatever the situation, and no matter what the sentiment you can be sure that President George W. Bush will find his own unmistakable way of conveying it.
In an Uncertain World
Robert Rubin was sworn in as the seventieth U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in January 1995 in a brisk ceremony attended only by his wife and a few colleagues. As soon as the ceremony was over, he began an emergency meeting with President Bill Clinton on the financial crisis in Mexico. This was not only a harbinger of things to come during what would prove to be a rocky period in the global economy; it also captured the essence of Rubin himself--short on formality, quick to get into the nitty-gritty. From his early years in the storied arbitrage department at Goldman Sachs to his current position as chairman of the executive committee of Citigroup, Robert Rubin has been a major figure at the ...
The Ultimate George W. Bushisms
"This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all." As the end of the Bush era approaches, the legacy is clear: George W. Bush is a wartime president. His enemy, battered but not defeated after repeated surges: the English language. The ultimate edition of George W. Bushisms captures this legacy -- from the Gulf Coast to Iraq and back -- with all-new pearls of wisdom and the twenty-five greatest hits of the entire presidency. "You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one." "I think -- tide turning -- see, as I remember -- I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of -- it's easy to see a tide turn -- did I say those words?"
New York Magazine
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
More George W. Bushisms
"Most of you probably didn't know that I have a new book out. Some guy put together a collection of my wit and wisdom -- or, as he calls it, my accidental wit and wisdom. [Laughter] But I'm kind of proud that my words are already in book form." -- President George W. Bush, discussing and reading from George W. Bushisms By now, most of you probably do know about George W. Bushisms, the bestselling collection of misstatements made on the campaign trail by our president. Now, in More George W. Bushisms, Jacob Weisberg reveals that the malapropisms didn't stop on Inauguration Day: "I've coined new words like misunderstanding and Hispanically." "I haven't had a chance to talk, but I'm confident we'll get a bill that I can live with if we don't." "Our nation must come together to unite." "There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead." These and many other presidential pearls are hilariously on display in More George W. Bushisms.
Still More Bushisms
Give him a microphone, a podium, even a teleprompter...and he's off! George W. Bush fans and foes alike just can't get enough of Dubya's headline-grabbing gaffes and malapropisms - and the hits just keep on coming. In this third instalment of BUSHISMS, Dubya's unique brand of verbal contortionism is more hilarious and enjoyable than ever. Here is Bushspeak in all its mind boggling glory, from the scrambled sayings ('Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again') to the vocabulary stretches ('the embetterment of mankind'), to the almost Zen-like statements ('I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.'). Whether he's talking about government, leadership, or subjects that defy any attempt at classification, Bush's distinctive way with words shines through on every page of this entertaining collection. It's a book that everyone will want to buy twice-once to give and once to keep. Love him or hate him, it's impossible not to laugh.
