Summary: Not what you'd expect...
Review: I purchased this calendar expecting it to be something everyone could delight in... with Bush quotes similar to "is our children learning"... quotes that can actually be found amusing. Instead i found it to be sorely unfunny... most of the quotes involve grammatical errors so slight that few would take the time to notice or care. Many of the errors, besides not being funny, actually make the President seem a bit more human, less like the elitists that seem to swarm political parties these days.
I suggest prospective customers pass over this calendar in favor of any of the various FUNNY ones published.

Summary: "...NUCULAR!" - W's favorite mis-pronounced word!
Review: Our President certainly has many qualities and talents - the English language is not one of them. Butchered and scrambled, George W. Bush has taken the language of the land into uncharted territory. - This calendar dishes up some of the juiciest tid-bits, all collected from actual public speeches or recorded conversations, so (sadly) there are no mistakes or misunderstandings copied down here. With a definite speech impediment, how sure could W. really be that Iraq was building up to be a nucular power, and what exactly is a nucular power? - As a satirical commentary, this book is a riot!*****

Summary: Leave no Harvard/Yale presidential graduate behind
Review: Reading these Bush quotes left me wondering whether Ivy League universities provided the most bang for the educational buck. If Bush-(Mis)speak doesn't prove that connections are everything in US society, nothing will.I just hope the Harvard/Yale colleges of Dumbbell English are on Mrs. Dick Cheney's neo-conservative "watch-list," for the sake of our nation's linguistic security. Meanwhile, can this great country of ours withstand four more years of "I was wondering if anybody's got any extra Pepsodent? Get it?" What's to get? A raucous laugh, 365 days a year.

Summary: I laughed until I cried.
Review: We all know our president isn't a linguistic genius, but this calendar takes all this to levels that I never imagined. After buying it, I sat outside the bookstore and read every page. I laughed until my face was red and I was about to cry, because, sadly, this is all TRUE! We have our "great nation" and this is the best we could come up with. Some are grammatical errors, some are his Texan side coming through, and some use words that don't exist. Many leave for incomprehensible "sentences," and some are just silly. It makes you wonder. Would you care for some examples? "Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better." "I understand politics and I know there's going to be a lot of verbage." "I like the idea of serious people walking in and saying, 'Mr. President, here are your options; decide.'"
