Oh George!

How do we keep good ol George W Bush from saying stupid stuff to further embarrass our nation? Seems theres people actually hired to do just that.
This week when Bush addressed the UN, the American administration demonstrated exactly how its done. Bush uses a system much like elementary school flashcards. Of course theres also a teleprompter with the phonetic spelling being shown.
An example would be, French President Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-KO-zee), or the Zimbabwe capital Harare (hah-RAR-ray). The White House was left looking stupid when a copy of Bush’s speech was posted to the UN web site even as he was reading it. This gave the world a glimpseĀ into the special guidance out learning disabled president is coddled with.
One of Bush’s bigger mix ups was at a welcoming ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II, where he placed her in the 18th century. Way to go!
Earlier this month at a conference in Sydney, Bush confused Australians and Austrians and repeatedly referred to them as such.
