Capiche? > Yes you can. According to Google Define, one of the meanings of axis is "the centre about which something rotates". This appears perfectly consistent with what Bush said. I guess you didn't know this meaning of the word "axis", and Bush does. Somewhat ironic that a story is invented to prove that Bush is stupid, but it turns out that because the person who invented the story clearly has a poor understanding of English, it actually proves Bush is clearly brighter than the person who made up and reposted the story! I mean, you have got to laugh at how dumb some people are. They can't even invent a story to try and prove a point without doing it so badly that they disprove their own argument!
