My good friend Stan who's a "far leftie". Whenever a discussion comes up about our President....if he can't whack George W for the "topic" of his speech or interview...he whacks him for his "pronunciation"...especially of the definitive article "the".

When da Pres is giving a speech..."the" comes out as "tha". And when he's being interviewed or holding a press conference..."the" comes out as "ta".

So...Stan...instead of commenting about the MAIN issues the Pres was talking about...ol' Stan brings up George W's use of "ta".

Same difference.

We all look at Stan, shrug our shoulders, roll out eyes back, pause a minute to take a deep breath and go onto a more serious topic.
