On Wednesday, Bush gave us yet another "Bushism," and it was one for the history books.

While delivering a speech in Dallas, Bush condemned the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq... I mean of Ukraine." He then joked about his gaffe, saying Iraq too. Anyway...I'm 75," drawing laughter from the audience.

Though he tried to downplay it as a senior moment, Bush's latest Bushism was more likely a Freudian slip. In misspeaking, he spoke the truth.
