The Volokh Conspiracy is once again showing how useless Slate's Bushisms column is by pointing out "Slatisms." Instapundit also weighs in.
Personally, I prefer "Weisbergasm" (which is the premature jubilation the columnist feels when he believes he has discovered a Bush gaffe). This feeling seems to affect the writer's ability to fact-check or to judge statements based on context, such as the recent misattribution of EC President Juncker's quote to Bush (now corrected on Slate).
