Just to be a stickler, GW's grammar is quite good for a public figure, but his pronunciation of words like "nuclear" as "nuke-you-lar" makes him an easy target on the intelligence front. Grammar is formal usage, not colloquial idiosynchracies like pronunciation.
It's also interesting note that the last American President to pronounce nuclear "properly" was Reagan, not Clinton or Bush, Sr, and no one attacked either of them on brainpower issues. Clearly, there is a secondary agenda behind the silver spoon attacks.
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others.
I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

This works for every one except GW. Maybe there should be a daddy paid for Yale line on the graph.
I don't get it?? What am I missing....
As resident grammar police, I love this.
Very good... and @anonymous, just google "brass ring" and it should all become clear...
Perfect.
Absolutely.

Eh? I don't get it brass ring? eh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_ring
"The brass ring as a term also means striving for the highest prize, or living life to the fullest."

While we're at it, let's recall that Jimmy Carter pronounced it Nuke-you-lar. Of course, he, as a nuke-you-lar engineer, was unqualified.
Actually, 'the coach', GW's grammar is pretty awful. I have a "Bushisms" calendar and, oy vey, the man can mangle the English language!
Sadly most Bushims are plagiarized from the Quayleisms calendars of days of yore.
