Commiserate, Commensurate, Commical

We have an idiot savant in the White House. Much has been written about dyslexia in the makeup of the POTUS. This is worse than nuke-u-lar! A goofball represents this country to the world? Instead of W, the Republicans ought to run Norm Crosby for President. Crosby's malapropisms would make more sense than W's standup routine. If this is (fair & balanced) disdain, so be it.

"I want to remind you all that in order to fight and win the war, it requires an expenditure of money that is commiserate with keeping a promise to our troops to make sure that they're well paid, well trained, well equipped. . . . See, without the tax relief package, there would have been a deficit, but there wouldn't have been the commiserate -- not 'commiserate' -- the kick to our economy that occurred as a result of the tax relief."

-- President Bush on Dec. 15, giving a commensurate response to a question at his news conference.

Norm Crosby, who underwent chemotherapy and radiation last year after a tumor was found beneath his tongue, sounded a little different from normal, but his comedy came through loud and clear. When the applause welcoming him died down, he said: "To walk out and have an ovulation like that, it just means so much."
