If Carter gave us 'malaise', then Bush is giving us......

Pronunciation: m&-'lAz, ma-, -'lez
Function: noun
Etymology: French malaise, from Old French, from mal- + aise comfort -- more at EASE
1 : an indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness
2 : a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being <a malaise of cynicism and despair -- Malcolm Boyd>


Pick your Bush word!

13. President Carter tried to pull us out of malaise
he was giving a pep talk when he used the word "malaise".
Unlike Raygun however, he wasn't a professional actor, so the speech didn't work, and the repugs pounced on the word "malaise" to define Carter.

The Disaster Monkey has inflicted a case of internal bleeding so severe it may ultimately prove fatal to the republic.

16. President Carter never used the word malaise.
Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 09:24 PM by KC21304
Oh what a better world we would have if we all had only listened to Carter rather than listen to Reagan and his ilk mocking him.


Sorry forgot a link.

17. Gosh, you're right!
Carter got pounded for a word he never even used!
The rethuglicans are so effective at rewriting history, sometimes they even fool me.

21. It's not really a disease per se,
but what bush is doing is heartbreaking. What he has done is taken the trust of the good people of the United States and and used it to advance his twisted evil plan for global conquest. He has broken what could not be broken. He has broken Excalibur (the heart of America) and looted Camelot.
