President Bush's exchange with NBC News correspondent David Gregory over anti-American protests in Europe attracted widespread attention. Bush ridiculed the reporter, who asked Bush a question about the protests and then tried to ask French President Chirac a question in French. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental," said Bush. "Sir, if I could just follow," the reporter began. "Thank you," Bush shot back, as he answered the questions and then silenced Gregory. As Bush stepped away from the podium, he called to Gregory. "As soon as you get in front of a camera, you start showing off."

the Washington times reported that Gregory was dressed down. Like a petulant school girl.

You do appreciate the rich comedy in your citing as an example of Bush's alpha maleness, and ability to drum down a press reporter, an exchange in which Bush uses a non-existent word.

Whether Bush committed some sort of copyright infringement or defamation is something I'll leave up to the good folks at Intercontinental Hotels.
