G. W. Bush defines Arborists

Found this the other day...

"Arbolist ... Look up the word. I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, somebody who knows about trees."

--George W. Bush
08/21/2001
as quoted in USA Today

Urban Dictionary: arbolist

I think that fool invented a lot things including WMD!

You'd think that after having to have a historical tree removed at his residence this past year, he might be able to ask the secret service how to spell or say the word! Can you guys imagine the "fun" a tree care company would have getting inside the gates at the Whit House. OOPS I think I may have mis-spelled a word.
