Another Malapropism (aka Bushism)

For those of you who have forgotten since last month, here is the definition of malapropism:

mal•a•prop•ism: n, the usually unintentional humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase; especially the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context.

President Bush gave the world yet another Bushism yesterday at a campaign rally in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He was speaking about the increasing cost of health care in the United States, and his mistaken belief that frivolous lawsuits are to blame. He said:

But let me tell you what else we need to do. We need to do something about these frivolous lawsuits that are running up the cost of your health care and running good docs out of business. We've got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business.

President Bush then offered an unexpected reason for cracking down on frivolous medical lawsuits:

Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country.

Wow, I don't even know what to say about that, except wow. I'm glad that the President is all for obstetrician gynecologists "practicing their love." If only I knew what that meant.
