Bush-League Irony

Is it just me or does it seem to anyone else the height of unintentional irony that our dear President should give a speech (at The Heritage Foundation, 1 November 2007) in which he says:

History teaches that underestimating the words of evil, ambitious men is a terrible mistake.

The context makes it clear that he wasn't really referring to the vice-president, but then he has been known to wear a freudian slip every now and then.

    Excellent point that could apply equally well to The Decider himself. Still, I see progress. He at least didn't say "misunderestimate."
