Quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
US President George W Bush is to appear on Arab TV channels on Wednesday in an attempt to regain trust after US forces were caught in an abuse scandal.


Mr Bush will say the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners is "shameless and unacceptable", his spokesman said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shouldn't that be shameful?

I can't wait for Bush to say "irregardless". You know darn well that'd make Jr_B vote for him :D

ir·re·gard·less [ ìrri grdləss ]

adverb

( nonstandard ) See regardless

[Early 20th century. Origin uncertain: probably a blend of irrespective and regardless.]

Word Usage

Nonstandard usage:

A moment’s thought will reveal that since the prefix ir- means “not” (as it does in irrespective), and the suffix -less means “without,” irregardless is an illogical double negative. As such it is to be avoided, in favor of irrespective or regardless.


:think: Not without.....the opposite of being without. :) It could work.....lol
