The leprechauns that live in the Internet tubes are back at their old shenanigans. This time proving to us something we probably already suspected: President Bush doesn’t know how to say the president of France’s name. Or the leader of Zimbabwe. Or even the capital of Zimbabwe for that matter.

A copy of Bush’s speech to the U/N. this week found its way onto the Internet, and it was filled with, well, a syllable-by-syllable guide to speaking.

Some of the favorites:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy: sar-KO-zee
Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe: moo-GAH-bee
Kyrgyzstan: KEYR-geez-stan
Mauritania: moor-EH-tain-ee-a
Zimbabwe capital Harare: hah-RAR-ray

Bush just doesn’t make Dana Perino’s job easy, does he?
