Bushism: Alito Will Soon Be Qualified

What a difference a word makes. President Bush takes enough shit for abusing the English language on a daily basis. Though he apparently also gets by with a little help from his friends. In today’s emailed remarks to the WH Press Pool Bush is quoted as saying:
“Sam Alito is imminently qualified to be a member of the bench. I'm not the only person who feels that way.”
You know, as in he’s about to become qualified. We’re not sure if that comes after surviving Chuck Schumer’s made-for-tv talking points, or after Alito assures the Judiciary Committee he does not in fact drink the blood of small children or maintain relations with the dead.
Anyway, about fifteen minutes later the WH Press Office was quick to email out a correction informing us that Bush said Alito is “eminently” qualified. As in, you know, actually well qualified.
