Bush-ism of the Day

I was listening to President Bush's address to the people of the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia, now a sovereign nation because....well, unless you've been asleep for the last 15 years or so....you know why. Anyway, during his speech, our most eloquent (I say with tongue planted firmly in cheek) President said the following:

"The territorial and sovereignty of Georgia must be respected by all nations."

What's wrong with that sentence? If I was a fifth grade teacher, I would give it a "D+." The "territorial" what? Or did he just mean "territory?" I am not suggesting that President Bush is no more educated than a fifth grader, only that he doesn't SPEAK like he's any more educated than a fifth grader. I know he went to Yale and wherever, and he I know he flew F-102's (from what I know, one of the hardest aircraft to fly at the time, especially during take-off and landing) while in the Texas Air National Guard; so he's not stupid. BUT, given the fact he cannot (or will not) say NU-CLEE-RRR, but insists on saying NUKE-U-LER, and continuously stumbles over himself when speaking in public, is it any wonder why the Left accuses him of being a dumbass...and many of the rest of us (who don't think he's a dumbass) simply roll our eyes and shake our heads? And for crying out loud: You pundits out there like Hugh Hewitt, whom I greatly respect, please stop attempting to validate this butchery of the English language by aping the President and saying "NUKE-U-LER" during your broadcasts?

That said, let's assume the President meant to say, "The territory and sovereignty of Georgia must be respected by all nations," and give the same speech to Vicente Fox, substituting "The United States of America" for "Georgia." If he said that and meant what he said, the President could say,"Pish-posh, Peter Tosh," for every answer to every question asked from here on out and I wouldn't care.
