Fun with the State of the Union

I said in my previous post that I wasn’t going to make fun of the President, since I thought that he did give a pretty good speech (for his standards).

However, my wife and I were having some fun with his pronunciation of certain words. We all know about his inability to pronounce “nuclear,” even he’s made fun of it before.

He’s very proud of some place called “Amerca,” wherever that is.

He made mention of some place called “Zimbawe,” which I assume was supposed to have been Zimbabwe. This led my wife and me to think of things we’d stick in Bush speeches if we were on his speech writing staff.

I said that I would do my darnedest to mention French Guyana and New Guinea in consecutive sentences, if not the same sentence.

My wife followed that up with wanting to say that you can feel the energy of (whatever) from Austria to Australia.

I would want to mention Concord, NH and Concord, NC in the same sentence … but in fairness, I don’t think that most people would get that one. (I don’t think most people reading this got it, either. I’ll explain in the Comments below.)

I don’t know how to put Swaziland and Switzerland in the same sentence, but it would be fun to watch Pres. Bush try to read it.

Then there are just places we’d like to toss out and see if he can say — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Hungary, and probably many more.

Alas, this was the last State of the Union address for President Bush. And he made no mention of the war on Tara.
