wanna be sometimes
I’ve seen a few blogs point to this TV clip of President Bush relating how he likes to use “The Google.” It’s followed by a snarky remark suggesting the search engine is on “the Internets.” While I think it’s pretty funny, I also tend to agree with the theory that the president’s malaprop endears him to his base. Stuffy East Coast Texas interlectuals like me laughing at his abuse of the English language only polarizes them more.
However, I found another interesting bit about the clip I haven’t seen anyone comment on. Bush tells CNBC that he likes to use Google Earth or Google Maps to scan over Crawford, saying, “I kinda like to look at the ranch. It remind me of where I wanna be sometimes.” I’m a little surprised to learn that the Western White House would appear in one of these applications. Considering the security that surrounds the ranch – Cindy Sheehan’s Camp Casey was actually miles from the ranch entrance – I’m surprised it isn’t blacked out like Area 51
or other security sensitive sites.
