Dubya learns a new word

Via Wonkette, "dissemble," the word that Bush nearly nailed on his first try during yesterday's presser, was Dictionary.com's "Word of the Day" on Monday. Tuesday's "Word of the Day" was "recreant," which means "cowardly; craven" and "unfaithful;disloyal." Expected deployment: "If I could just wave a magic wand and get rid of recreants like Kim Jong-Il or George Voinovich, trust me, I would." Little does Dubya realize, "recreant" describes him to a tee.
