His own White House is even correcting him now, how embarrassing, but he doesn't seem to notice.

It seems every time this guy opens his mouth its either results in mangled english, doesn't have anything to do with the subject or question, turns out to be false and/or a lie or he misspoke (which my mom would have called a lie).



White House: Bush erred on mustard gas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -- Once again, President Bush misspoke on a weapons issue, telling the nation that 50 tons of mustard gas were found in Libya - twice the amount actually uncovered.

The White House moved quickly Wednesday to correct the record, with press secretary Scott McClellan seeking out reporters to point out the mistake. The president should have said in his Tuesday night address and press conference that 23.6 tons of mustard gas were found in Libya, instead of 50 tons, McClellan said.

Bush used the 50-ton figure twice.
