You have some nerve writing about leaders of the free world.

You know this because... Hey, smart ass. Can you read? I wrote *PROBABLY*, and then you ask me how I *know* this. Isn't *probably* an admission that I don't know it? Otherwise, Einstein, I would have omitted *probably*. (or are you simply guessing?)

All the shit Clinton and Gore weaseled out of and you are going to lambaste Bush because of his speech. At least bad speech isn't illegal. It *is* possible to be a decent man with bad grammar, just as it is possible to be a filthy piece of shit while being photogenic and having a mastery of the English language.
