Leader of the Free World

[ #8057 ]
From JOHO the Blogger:

I've captured from The Daily Show the clip of W struggling to say "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Notice the look of abject fear as he realizes that he's going to muff it and it's going to end up on the news, and on damn fool weblogs.

The only reason you think it's occasional is that most of his malapropisms aren't widely reported, or aren't commented on.
