LONDON – Former England soccer manager Steve McClaren fought off tough competition from US President George W. Bush to win a dreaded “Foot in Mouth” award on Tuesday from the Plain English campaign.
George W.Bush came in second for “All I can tell you is that when the governor calls, I answer his phone.”
This quote came from W’s response to this question during the press conference following the California wildfires.
Q: Mr. President, a lot has been made about the contrast between this response and the Katrina response. Do you have any thoughts on that, and how you’re doing?
The winner of this year’s award was….
Former England soccer manager Steve McClaren.
I have proof that McClaren cheated by naming radical judges to the award committee. These cronies stopped counting votes for Bush when it became apparent The American President would win easily.
My evidence (should I choose to present it) would show that not only did Bush come in first, but he came in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th….
“I’ve heard he’s been called Bush’s poodle. He’s bigger than that.” –George W. Bush, on former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as quoted by the Sun newspaper, June 27, 2007
“There are some similarities, of course (between Iraq and Vietnam). Death is terrible.” –George W. Bush, Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007
“And my concern, David, is several.” –George W. Bush, to NBC’s David Gregory, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2007
“My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions.” –George W. Bush, The Decider, Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 3, 2007
Bush said he would not attend the award ceremony due to a broken pinkie finger after Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) punched him in the nose.
“If one person criticizes [the local authorities’ relief efforts] or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me. One more word about it after this show airs, and I…I might likely have to punch him, literally.” -Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), “This Week with George Stephanopoulous,” Sept. 4, 2005

Operator: I have a person to person call for president Bush from Governor Blanco.
Bush (disguising is voice): Sorry, no one here by that name.
McClaren finally wins something! I think Fabio Capello will make a fine England manager!
yeesh!
for ya.
New Hope for the Brain Damaged (Possibly even for Bush…?)
his eyes are too close together? Which raises another question…
He really can’t win anything unless he rigs the votes!
