Bush wins hands down!

If you enjoy good Bush misspeak like I do, like cutting oneself because the pain distracts from the global mutilation being inflicted, you may want to check out some of the president's more recent gems, like:

"During an impassioned speech in support of free trade this month, Bush said, 'If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow!' "

or, "this
happy thought on the recession: 'Coming off a pinnacle, you might say, of low unemployment.' "

These are but two samples of more included in this recent Molly Ivins column.

I've heard of terriers but which breed of dog are the bariffs?

Bariffs originated from a pair of mastiffs imported to the Barrier Reef Islands that broke lose and became feral. Isolated for so long, they have become a unique species apart from canines.

Very rare, they're known to only a priveleged few. Like our president.
