An article on diagramming sentences of politicians reminded me of one of my favorite, yet most puzzling, of Bushisms:

"I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office."

I always wondered how those North Koreans sneaked into the Oval Office. But now, thanks to John McCain on debate night, I know the answer: they're so short that they were under the radar.
