I would like to share the following from aldiboronti at http://p098.ezboard.com/fwordoriginsorg ... 3043.topic
* administration (Washington) * caucus (John Adams)* lengthy (John Adams)* lengthily Jefferson)* belittle (Jefferson)* muckraker (Theodore Roosevelt)* lunatic fringe (Theodore Roosevelt)* bloviation (Harding)* normalcy(Harding)* misunderestimate (G. W. Bush)* embetterment (G. W. Bush)
I might add another Bushism: People shouldn't read into venue locations someone's heart
Aftr posting the above I had second thoughts and got nearly a half-million hits on the expression. But isn't venue location redundant
hypnotheoretical is another dandy. See Bushism in Wikipedia
