Your president speaks

Compiled by First Draft, from a Fox interview on Monday.  Examples include the classic:

But, you know, the words "amnesty" are loaded words.

Sigh.

I’m reminded of Mark Crispin Miller’s prescient observation about the precise moments of Bush’s verbal breakdowns, something I wish had been widely noted at the time:

Bush is. . . ludicrously incoherent when trying to fake compassion or idealism. This is someone who performs well when speaking as a punisher. He has mean instincts and is, therefore, able to speak cruelly without any syntactic or grammatical problems.

Not 100% but Bush has been pretty consistent ever since: lucid on war, capital punishment, and sports; a complete mess on anything requiring compassion.

Sigh.
