1. The attribution should go to David Frum.

2. What Bush quote was it that they printed?

...The article simply says it is from the Axis of Evil speech, but unless I totally missed it, they did not print the quote.

3. They printed the whole speach, is my understanding

It is considered a historical speach, evidentally. But I love how the article rips into his lack of lyrical eloquence.

4. Just picture Bush saying

the phrase "lyrical eloquence" -- the possibilities are limitless.

5. Picture? Worth at least a dozen words.

"Lyrr...lyric..lll...lyrical eloqua..eeh..look, the lyrical is evil and had the capabilities to begin making WMDs."

6. No, it won't be the whole speech

The Dictionary of Quotations is just sentences, or maybe paragraphs. It'll be the sentence with "axis of evil" in, because that phrase is what people have remembered, and what is being used as the basis of other phrases.
