Yesterday he said he actually used The Internets to reach The Google!

All you have to do is keep your ears open and you'll hear him say something moronic! :)

The link to the video is Java so just go here and look if you wanna see.

Wow, your President gets smarter every day. Tomorrow he might even pass his fourth grade.

Wow, your President gets smarter every day. Tomorrow he might even pass his fourth grade.

You mean the fourth grades.

Maybe George Bush has his own personal internet.

God, I wish I had my own personal internet, there'd never be any lag. Although I think I'd let you NS'ers onto my personal internet though.

Wow. I'm speechless.

Do you think Ted Stevens showed him how to do it?

Do you think Ted Stevens showed him how to do it?

I think Ted Stevens is scared of the tubes that are being sent to him.

Maybe George Bush has his own personal internet.

No, that's Al Gore. :p

I think Ted Stevens is scared of the tubes that are being sent to him.

Maybe Bush can show Stevens. "See, Ted? It's hard work but it can be fun."

Do you think Ted Stevens showed him how to do it?

No, Ted Stevens doesn't have any internets. He has intertubes. I think Bush is going to connect his internets with Stevens' intertubes, though, so Stevens can crawl through them to the Google and the Yahoo.

No, that's Al Gore. :p

Yeah, that's right, this video did have all three of the key "internets" politicians in it. Al Gore, the guy who invented it, Ted Stevens, the guy who characterized it as a series of tubes, and George "The Google" Bush.

You mean the fourth grades.

Whatever you have your side of the pond. My in-depth experience of the US education system comes purely from Family Guy...

No, Ted Stevens doesn't have any internets. He has intertubes. I think Bush is going to connect his internets with Stevens' intertubes, though, so Stevens can crawl through them to the Google and the Yahoo.

Are Steven's Intertubes like that pneumatic tube thing Paris had some time ago?

So you're criticizing our president because he's too busy dealing with real crises in which the US is involved to get a degree in computer science from Harvard? Are you out of your mind? It's a good thing that he's dedicated enough to his job as president that he isn't willing to sacrifice the well-being of the country for increased knowledge of the internet.

Whatever you have your side of the pond. My in-depth experience of the US education system comes purely from Family Guy...

No, you were right. Most of us finnished the fourth grade. Bush will be finnishing the fourth grades.

Whatever you have your side of the pond. My in-depth experience of the US education system comes purely from Family Guy...

It was a joke: 'the internets', 'the google', 'the fourth grades'. They call it fourth grade, or the fourth grade.

EDIT: Damn, beaten to it.

LMAO. I sincerely doubt that's the reason that George W. doesn't have a CS degree from Harvard. :p

You don't need a degree in CS from Harvard to know that it's not the "internets." You just need to be in touch with the most important technological advance in the last two decades. Something I would expect from the President of the Unted States. And, by the way, I'm not making fun of him jus because he said "internets." I'm making fun of him because he's a stupid moron and he everytime the guy opens his mouth he proves it more and more.

That's a relief. I was this close to being convinced that Family Guy isn't a reliable source of info on the USA.:eek:

maybe he's seen so much SE Lain. I know that I refer to the internet as The Wired sometimes and call my computer Navi, maybe he's just watched too much of something...

I think we both know that you don't need a degree in computer science from Harvard to know about "the Internets". In fact, it's not even computer science. It's basic English grammar to know that only plurals use the -s suffix.

Are you out of your mind? It's a good thing that he's dedicated enough to his job as president that he isn't willing to sacrifice the well-being of the country for increased knowledge of the internet.
I think keeping up-to-date with science and technology is very much in the interest of the country, depite the so-called Christian right's complete distain for real science.

That's right! He's got no friggin' time to obtain information or knowledge, he's busy blowing shit up. Jesus Christ.

I wonder if he'll ever Google "failure"...

While you play the role of an armchair grammarian, Bush must deal with the war in Iraq, with the mid-term elections, with the economy, with illegal immigration, with terrorism, with the press, etc. You don't need to have a perfect grasp of technological grammar to run a country -- Bush excels at managing crises, and that's all he needs to do.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize †he in†erne† was killing over 100 Iraqis daily, no† †o men†ion US soldiers. In reality, †he in†erne† is comple†ely †angen†ial †o †he job of the presiden† -- he relies on advisors with degrees in compu†er science if some sor† of compu†er issue becomes paramoun†.

The presidency has an age requirement, it would only make sense for it to have an education requirement.

MTAE is right. Instead of sacrificing the well-being of the country in order to increase his knowledge of the internet, Bush usually chooses to sacrifice the well-being of the country in order to spend more time fishing on his private lake.

Heckuva job there, Georgie-boy.

Don't you think you're being a little thin-skinned? Or is it perfectly acceptable to go after Clinton when he was President (the fast food, for instance) or Al Gore when he was VP (inventing the Internet), just not Bush?

I believe he said the greatest accomplishment of his Presidency had been catching some humongous bass or something.

So, which of the three was he doing when he made that speech? And during all the stupid gaffes he made before that?

It's not technological grammar. It's basic grammar one would expect seven year olds to be able to do.

No, it's only vital to your economy, culture and governance. Just because it's not killing Iraqis daily doesn't make it unimportant. He also can't just be expected to rely on advisors when he doesn't know what XYZ is. To decide the best course of action he has to have a bit of his own knowledge and intelligence. Something he sometimes seems to lack.

Oooh! Oooh! let me try ... :p

So, which of the three was he doing when he made that speech? And during all the stupid gaffes he made before that?

MTAE: That's all liberals can do, is criticize the way he speaks, because they can't touch him on his leadership and on the issues that really matter.

It's not technological grammar. It's basic grammar one would expect seven year olds to be able to do.

MTAE: As I said, he has advisors for these things.

*CoughCoughKatrinaCoughCough*

MTAE: Michael brown was fired as soon as the extent to which he had deceived the president and the public became apparent.

I'm not that good an impersonator, but what do you think? :p

Don't forget that when insurgents and terrorists behead foreign contractors and teh like they often post the videos on the internets. If you go to the Google you can find all kinds of articles about how the main theater for insurgent and terrorist propaganda is the internets. Bush should have at least heard of teh Google and the intertnets for at least that reason.

Oooh! Oooh! let me try ... :p

Nah, he'd rather sit in a corner with his fingers in his ears. Because the terrorists use longer words than him.

Bush has many things with which he must contend while delivering a speech. The first is the stress induced by the vulturous media reporters hovering around him, pens poised to record any slight slip of the tongue, merciless eyes burning into him -- it is enough to send any man into despair. He also doesn't have time to read any lengthy tomes on proper grammar and the intricacies of pronoun-antecedent agreement and the like. He has more important issues to deal with -- I would rather Bush's policies avert a terrible terrorist disaster rather than Bush's speeches are perfectly correct.

*CoughCoughKatrinaCoughCough*

It's not Bush's fault that the mayor of New Orleans, for example, is inadequate. The mayor had the potential to utilize the buses to save everybody, for example, but he did not. He could have called FEMA in as soon as the horror began, but he did not. Bush reacted admirably to the lack of leadership shown by state and local governments, but FEMA did not perform a good enough job. That, however, cannot be blamed on Bush.

If it isn't my favorite guy in the world!

I bet he used the internets to search the Google for information on diabeetus.

Staying upright, not reverting to his old habit of 'powdering his nose', trying not to reach into the back of his underwear and throw what might lurk there....O its hard...if only they hadnt shaved the hair all off, he might feel less exposed.....

My Father is in his mid-70's and english is his second language - he manages to get "internet" and "google" without fucking up....He didnt attend a prestigous third level American university....

Well, perhaps he could have taken a little of that time he devoted to reading "a couple o' Shakespeares," to learn how to type a URL.

Well, if you really want to get down to it, "internets" is a term used to describe the multitude of inter-connected networks of computers which exist, the most common of which is colloquially referred to as the "internet." Perhaps Bush was not, in fact, mistaken, but his terminology was too sophisticated for most people.

Perhaps... but I doubt it. I'm sure this is just another example of how stupid and out of touch he is. After all, this isn't an isolated event. Bush routinely sounds stupid and out of touch.

Anybody buying this? Anyone at all?

The problem is not that bush claims to use "the google" , the problem is that google and internet are such basic terms that anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the internet would know them. As Bush has major influence over issues of civil liberties and freedom of speech, gambling, security and scientific research, he should at least have the same level of knowledge as a bog standard American.

Still, at least he knows enough to get a job in PC World

could be. as cnn pointed out, there IS an internet 2. and he may have been distinguishing google from other search engines or googles.

and he may have been distinguishing google from other search engines or googles.

Actually, there is a web-site called Googles (http://www.googles.com/OLD/) which is quite interesting. Obviously, he wasn't referring to it, but it's interesting nonetheless.

That's uncanny.

Of course if I were to take this troll seriously I would say the failings of an executive agency can, and MUST always, ALWAYS, be blamed at its head, the chief executive.

I've got the latest version on CD ROM. It took up 7 CDs!
