Childrens do learn

"Childrens do learn." Bush tells school kids
Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn."

Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centerpiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on improved test scores.

The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teachers and about 20 fourth and fifth graders from P.S. 76.

During his first presidential campaign, Bush -- who promised to be the "education president" -- once asked: "Is our children learning?"
I guess George and Dan Quayle skipped English classes together.

The article said "Mr. bush often acknowledges he was no more than an average student in school and jokes about his habit of mangling the English language."

Sad thing is he thinks it's funny.

I hope for the sake of everyone that he puts more thought into his decision making than he does his choice of words.
