Uh huh. He's just fatigued. Anyone could see that, and everyone misspeaks from time to time! Now for a little humor. I like number 5 best, though number 11 was rather startling at the time: Top 11 dumb things Dubya did on his trip to Asia. 11. You say "de-flat-o," I say "de-val-ue," let's watch the Yen go flop. 10. From a South Korean bunker, Bush looked at the menace to the...West? An officer had to point him in the direction of the DMZ. 9. Bush then fixed his glare on the DMZ, purposefully raised his binoculars...lowered them... took the lens caps off... 8. Frequent references to the Korean "Pennin-Schoola." 7. Lamenting the end of visits between North and South Korean families separated by war almost five decades ago, Bush appears to have forgotten that it was his thoughtless remarks a year ago that precipitated the end of the visits. 6. Expressing dismay that the "despotic," "evil" regime to the north had not accepted his invitation to enter into a dialogue. 5. "No wonder I think they're evil," said Bush (demonstrating that he is a third party to his own decision-making process), after hearing a story about two U.S. soldiers killed in the DMZ. 4. Inviting Comparison #1: Visiting China on the anniversary of Nixon's visit. 3. Inviting Comparison #2: Letting Laura bring "Curious George" to read to Korean children. 2. Inviting Comparison #3: Demanding, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," while visiting the Great Wall. (Okay, I made this one up.) 1. Smugly thinking that his salesmanship (or bellicose, with-us-or-against-us rhetoric) would get the Chinese to stop selling weapons to Iran and North Korea (two of the three members of the "Axis of Evil").
