Archive On 4 - Bremner On Bush -a Final Farewell

Rory Bremner considers the presidency of George W Bush as he steps down from the Oval Office. With the aid of the archive of his speeches, he looks at the evolution of Bush's rhetoric over the last eight years. He hears the gaffes, the 'Bushisms' and the language of the 'war on terror' that provided inspiration for

Bremner's pitch-perfect impression of him. With contributions from Bush's speech writers and political commentators, the programme explores whether Bush grew to become an effective orator and asks: did we 'misunderestimate' him after all?
