Childrens Do Learn

In 2000, George W. Bush said, "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

Now he's got an answer.

In touting the success of No Child Left Behind this past week, he exclaimed, "Childrens do learn." The White House later released a cleaned up version of the transcript changing it to "children." Watch a video clip of the press conference.

A day earlier, a draft of Bush's speech to the U.N. General Assembly was posted to the U.N. Web site by some White House staffer with a good sense of fumor. The speech included a phonetic guide for the names of numerous countries and leaders: "KEYR-geez-stan" ( Kyrgyzstan), "moor-EH-tain-ee-a" (Mauritania), "sar-KO-zee" (French President Nicolas Sarkozy).

This is the education president.
