	Bushism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bushism is a neologism used to describe a word, phrase, pronunciation, or other linguistic error that occurs frequently enough in the public speaking of President of the United States George W. Bush to have become useful in caricatures of him.
		Quotations from the President's speeches that imply poor fluency and lack of understanding of the English language are often called Bushisms.
		Some supposed Bushisms may stem from a misunderstanding of the President's Texas dialect, or Bush simplifying his language - for instance, to speak with a foreign leader, or to convey a folksy, populist image.

	How to defeat Bushism in 2004. : LA IMC
		Bushisms, as they are known in everyday parlance, are anything from G.W. Bush’s malapropisms and hilarious errors in grammar or syntax, to waving to Stevie Wonder—as Bush is reported to have done.
		Bushism should be taken as synonymous with American fascism—a system of militarized corporate and state power, and the abandonment of any pretense of representative government.
		Because the defeat of Bushism is such an urgent necessity, it is an effort that requires the application of all legal political means, including the introduction of some highly opprobrious data regarding the Bush family to our political discourse.

	Bushism
		In American English, a Bushism is a word or phrase inadvertantly made up by President George W. Bush while speaking publicly, the most famous example being misunderestimated - see Bushisms.
		Elsewhere, Bushism describes the emerging doctrine of the George W. Bush administration, especially as seen by foreigners.
		This is the essence of Bushism: By rejecting pure anti-government rhetoric, Bush has left himself more room to reduce the size of government.

	Bushism
		Bushisms are basically non-partisan and I fail to see what they have to do with being liberal, conservative or moderate.
		I don't believe anyone is forcing him to speak the way he does and it's silly to blame a liberal or accuse someone of being a liberal just because she finds Bushisms to be somewhat interesting.
		I seriously doubt if the liberals are responsible for Bushisms but they've been accused of far worse things than that.

	Bushism
		Under the tyranny of Bushism, college professors are not permitted to speak their minds.
		Under the tyranny of Bushism, you can be arrested, held and never know what you are charged with or see the evidence against you.
		Under the tyranny of Bushism, you do not have the right to legal counsel, and if they do let you see a lawyer the prosecution can listen in.

	(DV) Seidman: Interview with Howie Hawkins
		The term “Bushism” is being used by liberals today the way they used “Reaganism” in the 1980s – as a way to try and scare us into supporting the Democrats.
		Bushism turns out to be the Bipartisan Consensus behind neoliberal economic policies and neoconservative foreign policies.
		The way to beat Bushism, which is to say the Bipartisan Consensus of both corporate-sponsored parties, is to build an independent party committed to a fundamental alternative.

		The defeat of the Bush axis must be an international effort.
		Indeed, a movement committed to ending Bushism would not be resorting to falsehood and deception, and would in fact, be performing an immense and truthful global service by publicly raising the following issues—among others—and demanding explanations:
		The defeat of Bushism is an obligation the American people have to the world; and, it is an obligation the world has to itself.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Bushism of the Day: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Perhaps the point to this Bushism is that someone born in Connecticut to a patrician family and educated at the Phillips Academy, Yale and Harvard would affect such a cornpone phrasing to his speech.
		Somewhat by definition, the "Bushism of the Day" must mean the "item, not yet used, at the top of the writer's current collection of amusing things Bush said." This doesn't mean that they will all be gems, but rather that this is the best one the writer had at his disposal today.
		So really, I think the Bushism concept is intended for a laugh, or for Jon Stewart types to roll their eyes, but not really to have a political impact.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Another Puzzling Bushism: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It doesn't strike me as a 'Bushism,' but Bush's insistence that he is the 'decider' came across as defensive and not a little petulant.
		The trouble with the whole "Bushism" thing is when people start looking for "yet more examples that Bush is stupid, since we already know that Bush is stupid." It leads, often as not, to showing the commentators' ignorance, rather than the President's.
		To be sure, I've never seen a Bushism reach the silliness of the Kerryism that reduced the senator's answer to the question of whether he favored abortion rights to "yes", relegating all subsequent explanation to the status of "quibble", but perhaps that's because I haven't read them much lately.

	The Reality of Fanatical Bushism and the Heartland
		In the national melee preceding the war in Iraq, fanatical Bushism seemed a force as overwhelming and prevalent as fanatical Islam.
		That perhaps fanatical Bushism is not quite the force it either used to be, or appeared to be.
		And this should be a clue for Democrats and for those of us who wish to see an end to the hate-filled polarization the administration has crafted for our country.

	Is This the End of Bushism?
		Of course, Bushism could be defined in a number of different ways, but on one key definition it clearly is coming to an end.
		If we define Bushism as the political project of building a majority coalition, despite a commitment to unpopular policies, based on a superior cultural, national security and leadership image among voters, that project is now failing.
		In the not-so-recent past, it was argued that Bush himself would never become really unpopular because of his image as a strong leader and the unshakable support of his base.

	Is This the End of Bushism?
		And, perhaps fatally for Bushism, the public can no longer divorce its distaste for the Iraq adventure from its feelings about the overall war on terror.
		Once Bush could count on continued public support for his handling of the war on terror as the one thing that could buoy his administration when everything else was failing.
		So, how can Bushism continue if Bush himself has become genuinely unpopular, he doesn’t have special status anymore as a leader or man of integrity, and assessments of his stewardship of the war on terror, his greatest strength, are shifting into negative territory?

		Excessive conveyance of clear meaning is believed to cause the speaker and listener to focus on the suffering in the world and the desire to change it.

	Spinsanity - Countering rhetoric with reason
		But as UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh first pointed out, it was actually perfectly reasonable -- the man has been given a new hand, and Bush shook it.
		However, Slate's Jacob Weisberg ridiculed the quotation in his Bushisms column the next day, providing no link or context for readers, who were left to assume that the statement was a verbal stumble rather than a reference to a prosthetic hand.
		In a Notebook item in the June 7 issue released on May 27, The New Republic ran the quote with no context other than the headline "The attached one, we hope," an obviously misleading joke that betrays no understanding of what actually happened.

	JEWSWEEK - A Jewish crtique of Bushism (part one)
		The first in a series of essays exploring the Jewish reasoning on the politics of the day, this one introduces Bush as a modern-day Ahasuerus whose views are so antithetical to Jewish values that he is, quite simply, "bad for the Jews."
		In later columns, I hope to demonstrate that Bush is actually "bad for the Jews" on a host of pet Jewish issues, including the well-being of the state of Israel.
		It is anti-Jewish because Bushism denies public discourse, denies that books should be opened and read, and denies even the possibility of transparent, articulate justice.
