bush43 joins bush41 as Double Winner
bush43 won the Doublespeak Award for the second year in a row joining his father bush41 as a two time winner. Other two time winners include: ronald reagan, the US departments of state and defense, and newt gingrich.
Well, I stretched that a bit. The 2004 award went to the entire bush administration and:
President George W. Bush, for the second year in a row, has set a high standard for his team by the inspired invention of the phrase "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities" (1) to describe what has yet to be seen. Further he has made clear the principle of democratic discussion: "[A]s you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say."Read the list of past recipients and some of you may find this article useful: Doublespeak Detection for the English Classroom (PDF).
Via Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...it's all FUBAR now.
