Someone slipped up

Of course George Bush can make an unforced speaking error. But what prompted this botched bonhomie with John Howard? --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. Prime Minister, thanks for your hospitality. You've been telling me how beautiful Sydney is. I now agree. Laura sends her very best to you and Janette, and we congratulate you on -- like your grandfatherhood. (Laughter.)

Because only salacious minds would think that the awkwardness resulted from him stopping himself saying "we congratulate you on -- like us -- your grandfatherhood." With Jenna's recent engagement and all.

UPDATE: Holden thinks it's standard issue Bush dude talk.
