I thought he was dislexic.
That was one of W's sweetest verbal fumbles.
I give it a 9.

Yes! I have been laughing all day at the new word!
I think he said "ek a lect ic" instead of eclectic.

"
Now we know why he hasn't got a clue.
I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."—Washington, D.C., Sept. 21, 2003
That's George Washington, the first president, of course. The interesting thing about him is that I read three -- three or four books about him last year. Isn't that interesting?" --George W. Bush, while showing German newspaper reporter Kai Diekmann the Oval Office, Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006
Ya, sweet tweety.

If that's what he said, that's another "w" wise remark! God that's priceless! I wish I could have heard that! What was Brian's reaction and how did he cover it?You can't laugh at the "president" when he makes a "mistake" now can you? Me, I would have politely said,"Excuse me Mr. President, but don't you mean dyslexic? That's the answer that I'd really want to hear! Yes, the word is dyslexic Mr. President. Question? 2pts. Is it considered impolite to "correct" the President?! lol Ok epileptic for eclectic but he is DYSLEXIC isn't he?

Yes, that was funny. Williams had just asked him if he was a patrician, as a black professor had said. Bush had to beat that rap by mispronouncing words. He also said that he had read "three Shakespeares" this summer. A real man of the people, that Bush.

Just another Bushism.. Do you think he does this things to put the interviewer off? I know if it was me I would be laughing so much I will be distracted.

Poor guy. Watch it here. Actually he said his "reading list" was "epileptic" (for eclectic, of course) It's at minute 1:50 of the clip.

Roffles!! That's the funniest thing that idiot has said thus far. I guess his supporters "misunderestimated" how few brain cells he actually has left.
