Reading through this short list I got the increasing sense that something was going on that was more systematic than just flubbing words. It appears that often his flubs are classical Freudian slips, where what Bush is actually thinking dominates over the messages he's been given.

Take for example: "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." Well, that's probably what he really likes. It makes reading "funner."

Or, more tellingly: "There's a huge trust. I see it all the time when people come up to me and say, 'I don't want you to let me down again.' " He might have noticed that people were actually upset with the way he was running things...is that even possible?

More insidiously: "You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one." Think he had an understanding that war president's get more leeway than other presidents. Someone told him everyone listens to thee commander-in-chief.

And most classically of all: "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

Everyone concentrates on the funny gaffes and ungrammatical quips such as "Is our children learning?", but the most interesting are the ones which reveal his inner thoughts (such as they are).

Number 25 was also a classic, as another reader pointed out. Wow.

Right on. These slips really gave insight into his character. However, I'd say we're wrong to call him commander in chief. Commander in thief is more accurate.
