o cmon, if bush said it you would have **** your pants backwards. im not suggesting that he be sent to the chopping block because of a single mindless remark, but dont pretend like it didnt happen and that it wasnt a mistake. did all of bush's terrible speech impetiments have an affect on his policitical ideology or policies? no, but they were equally embarrasing and it does matter because as long as you are the commander in chief, your representing the american people. when your the president of the united states you are held accountable for what you say, regardless of whether humor was involved. would it be ok for joe biden told a racist joke if he did it in humorous tone? should nobody react?
