Well, "Grecian" may be used as a noun, but such use is archaic, and
certainly nothing a numnutz such as Bush would know. If he used
"Grecian" to describe Greeks, it was yet another gaffe on his part.

To pretend otherwise on Bush's behalf is simply evidence of desperation,
a defensive move aimed at convincing someone - anyone - that Bush really
has a command of the English language.

Amen. I may not adhere to a conservative social agenda, but a
conservative fiscal policy makes sense to me, but Bush has brought big
government back. Not including security/defense items, spending has
ground an average of over 10% per year, much of it deficit spending. The
reasons for Iraq keep mutating. Bin Laden is still bin Missin', and the
scandals make Slick Willie's administration look clean. Let's see, there
is the WMD investigation and the Niger uranium forgeries, Cheney's Energy
Task Force, the Plame Game, the Medicare Drug Scam ($400 billion becomes
$540 billion and bribes for votes), Halliburton overcharges, the GAO
investigating the White Houses' video news releases, the Chalabi Iran
"spy ring", . . .

Not one of those so-called "scandals" has amounted to a hill of beans...and
none will.

Where was your outrage when guys like Ron Brown, James McDougal, and and
Vince Foster were dying strange deaths...many times right before they were
scheduled to testify in one of the many Clinton scandal investigations?

What were people saying about moral equivalency a short time ago? On a
scale of moral equivalency, murdering people set to testify against you is a
lot worse than (how does Gould say it?) "being misinformed" about intel
being passed to you second and third hand.

Actually, archeologists use "Grecian" to refer to urns and stone
columns.
NOYB does not expose himself to input other than television, and a
very
limited selection of input in that genre. He would not know that
"grecian"
applies to objects, not people. Therefore, your appelation of "possum
****er" sticks like glue.


Doug,
You're not really going to align yourself with perhaps the dumbest
poster
to
post to rec.boats since...well...ummm, maybe...ever? Are you?

An inhabitant of Greece can be called a "Grecian" or a "Greek".

Yes, and a psychiatrist trained in hypnotism could conceivably be called a
somnambulist, but the word's not in common usage any more. Neither is
"Grecian" commonly used to refer to people, just objects. The dictionary
is
full of words you *could* use. It's up to individual to know which ones
are
appropriate to use.


You're turning into basskisser. Even when confronted by facts which
blatantly refute your position, you continue to argue to the bitter end.
It's almost laughable.

Grecian is an acceptable word to describe someone from Greece. If you
maintain that that's not true, then prove it. Your unsupported opinion
means nothing.

Just another example of the righties rationalizing and apologizing for
Bush's endless gaffes...

You're not going to jump on the sinking ship driven by Kanter and ****tard,
are you? Grecian is an acceptable name used to describe the inhabitants of
Greece.

Bush frequently quotes from the bible...sometimes to a fault. The King
James version of the Bible uses the term "Grecian" to describe people of
Greece, so it's logical to conclude that Bush picked up the word "Grecian"
from the bible.

Nevertheless, Kanter and ****tard have tried to argue that it's not a noun.
That's just dumb.

I said "common usage", knucklehead. If your president said "Grecian", it's
because he'd just watched a Discovery Channel program about archeologists
digging up Grecian urns. Nobody on the planet describes Greeks as Grecians.
Not even Greeks themselves, although you probably don't have many Greeks in
that white bread town of yours.
