Tornado Alley (PROG)

[My Dime]

In the lexicon of Bushisms it may one day make it to the top of the pile.

The American president added to his reputation as a gaffe-prone public speaker yesterday by declaring that the White House was doing everything it could to harm the United States.

Yup, all the big brains of the world.

But Mr Bush's idiosyncrasies are not necessarily an electoral burden. Some believe his folksy delivery and verbal solecisms play well with ordinary Americans wary of slick rhetoric and gilded vocabulary.
