Some politicians will resort to anything to get elected. Take for example (and i'm sorry i don't know any of the names or dates assocaited with this) an election way back when. The one guy accused the other guy of having a sister who was a "practicing thespian" and a brother who was a "registered homosapian." Of course the people of the time didn't pay close attention and/or didn't recognize the words and guess what they assumed.

By making me laugh at the stupidity of the people who assumed what they did, according to your last post.<br><br>...I should learn not to eat and laugh at the same time <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh, dear. I think malapropisms have started to leak back into real life.<br><br>No, wait, they've been doing that for years. Such as the guy who got lynched for being a "paediatrician".

One thing could be to grow it after becoming president, that way you can have the moustache/beard and not offend anybody during the campaign run, even if there reason for being offended may be stupid.

[Bocaj Claw]

Ah but they wouldn't do that until they get re-elected.
