Bush's latest verbal blunder
Advertisements [?]
The man who leads America is truly an idiot.
If you can stand to read this full transcript it is very clear.

President Bush Speaks with Nation's Mayors at Winter Meeting
Remarks by the President to the U.S. Conference of Mayors
Capital Hilton Hotel
Washington, D.C.

<SNIP>

I laid out the other night a jobs for the 21st century program. A part of that is to make sure there's additional money to help junior high and high school students who have been just simply shuffled through the system. And that's what's happened, as you know. If you want to be blunt about what has taken place, sometimes when you don't measure, you just shuffle kids through. Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling. I expect you, as mayors, to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations. I challenge you to keep raising that bar and standards. (Applause.)
