trinityvixenI find it fairly hilarious that the Bushism for the weekend was:
"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?"
and today's was:
"It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet."
These two statements were made in the same year, ten months apart in 2000. The first one galled me as he was clearly trying to speak eloquently with the "more few" bit and failed miserably there and at grammar in general. It also pissed me off because of the DoJ's recent activities of bullying search engines so they can prove that children aren't as safe as they should be from porn just to resurrect a failed law in order to censor the Internet. So the government can control the one media outlet where it truly is a public forum. What is this, China?
I'd love to know, though, how he reconciled that first quote with that second (if he or his puppeteers ever did). I wonder what was said after that first quote...
