Memorable Gaffes by Public Figures

We got to face it, we are contemporary with great thinkers and political icons like Sarah Palin , governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former ruler of the free world George W Bush. We're living in the era of Bushisms.

The term 'Bushism' has become part of popular folklore being defined by unconventional words, phrases and semantic or liguistic errors that have occurred during various public speeches of former United States president George W. Bush and also his father George H.W. Bush.

The misuse and misspelling of the English language in public outings allowed the creation of neologisms, maybe the most famous one being George Bush's favorite adjective, 'nucular'. It's now explainable why the Bush administration hasn't found any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Just another 'nuclear mistake' in the president's portofolio.

Here's a short list of quotes that defines the era influenced by this great men and women.

Even if it's short , you know what they say , it's not the length of ....the joke that matters , it's the amount of pleasure it produces that really makes all the difference.

'As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border.' SARAH PALIN, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her an advantage in foreign policy affairs , in an interview with CBS'sKatie Couric, September 2008.

A series of reactions and parodies came as response to this quote, arguably the best one , from Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live "I can see Russia from my house!"

Another example of brilliance :

"They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan." --Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Oct. 5, 2008

"She's either Puerto Rican, or the same thing as Cuban, I mean they are all very hot. They have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that together makes it." - Arnold Schwarzenegger on California Assembly woman Bonnie Garcia, the lone Latina Republican in the Legislature

"I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman." A. Schwarzenegger

Below you can check out George W. Bush's view on politics, economics and education:

'I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully'.- Saginaw, Michigan; September 29, 2000

''They misunderestimated me''- Bentonville, Arkansas; November 6, 2000

"I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging." - At the dedication of his portrait, Austin, Texas; January 4, 2002

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."Washington, D.C., August 5, 2004

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." Greater Nashua, New Hampshire, January 27, 2000

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"Florence, South Carolina; January 11, 2000

Considering all of this we should really be careful who we put in charge of the 'nucular' codes!
