Calling Dubya "the MBA President" is about as relevant as calling him "the ingrown toenail President." His marginal competence at running the country and his own administration would embarrass his MBA alma mater, if it were any place other than Harvard U.

At least you got the joke
Good luck on the job interview!!!

In addition to Fox, I watch CNN and MSNBC. But Fox gets about 80% of my viewing.

If Bush is so intelligent,you'd think he would have learned to pronounce "nuclear." Heck, I only went to a state university, and I can do that!

Yes, sort of like how people used to criticize Pravda and Izvestia just because they didn't put a capitalist spin on everything. Sheesh!

And in turn, SpongeBob SquarePants has much higher ratings than Fox News. Two cartoons going head to head, and SpongeBob beats the SquarePants off of them every time...

Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly want EVERYONE to have their opinion or else they are called stoopid.

See... Fox News upsets you, too!
Why can't you just accept that it is a news station and leave it at that? There are no more errors in reporting on Fox than there are on CNN or MSNBC or CNBC.

If you go by how many people in the south pronounce words, than most of the people of the south or not intelligent going by your flawed "logic."

Don't they pronounce the word "oil" as "awl."
And "tire irons" as "tar arns."

Does that make them "dumb?"

According to Bush, "Harvard gave me the tools and the vocabulary of the business world" I guess, "nucular" would be one of the business terms he learned at Harvard? How can this guy be Harvard material? Something just does not add up.
well, your question may not belong here, but its still an awesome question and one I ask myself alot too...Bush was saying on television here at work just a few mins ago, that some people didnt deserve to have bought the homes they live in here in America, he said "thats my speculation"....I almost died laughing, what a choice of vocabulary, I cant wait til he climbs back in his saddle and rides off in to the sunset, I hope too HE winds up living in a tepee one day....
