Look, having fun with Bush's english (a) doesn't do anything to stop the war and (b) _does_ help build up the presuppositions and cliches that terribly hurt a lot of people whose huanity _and_ intelligence is not measured by their sophisticated command of language.
I strongly recommend Patricia A. Dunn, _Leaning Re-Abled: The Learning Disability Controversy and Composition Studies_, Boynton/Cook Pub., 1995. There is a certain incoherence involved in on the one hand endless wailing about "Leninist" elitism and on the other hand inability to resist the temptation to sneer at the intellectual capacity of others, whether they are presidents or conficts.
