Upon re-reading what I just posted above, I would make one small edit. In the last sentence of the second to last paragraph, I have used the words "obvious" and "obviously" too close together, and this tends to read awkwardly as well as being redundant. The sentence in question is:

". . . you simply can't accept the obvious fact that you are so obviously and demonstrably dead wrong."

I would delete the "obvious" before "fact" and let the "obviously" a few words later stand, so the sentence would read

". . . you simply can't accept the fact that you are so obviously and demonstrably dead wrong."

There. Much better.

Perhaps more germane to our current discussion about what Bush actually said than my writing skills is the fact that I have also worked as an editor on a couple of different jobs. I have edited the writings of other technical writers, and while working at a radio station, I edited both news stories and advertising copy. This, in addition to editing my own writing.

I would let the last paragraph

"Good Lord, man, get a grip!!"

stand as is.
