"Bush Makes the Dictionary"

[GreenPartyVoter]

LONDON (Reuters) - George W. Bush is mocked for strangling grammar. But he can hold his head up high in the new Oxford Dictionary of Quotations published on Thursday.

The U.S. President makes a respectable first appearance in one of the world's most famous reference books with his notorious "Axis of Evil" speech about Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Bush, long renowned for his malapropisms, has in the past offered such gems as misunderestimate, embetter and resignate.

But Oxford dictionary editor Elizabeth Knowles works on very different criteria for new entrants in the revered tome.

"You look at the quotation, not at their linguistic dexterity," she told Reuters.
