20. That's what I think = commonsensicle -- it means
common sense is frozen.

16. Similar syntax as "nonsensical"
But Bush once again shows that the English language isn't high on his list of important things to worry about. The term "commonsense" as an adverb or adjective pretty much means the same thing without the suffix "-ical"

"Commonsense" itself is a 14-dollar word, and in his brain he's going for triple-word score by adding extra syllables.

4. I love hearing Bush screw stuff up, but it IS a word. :)
An adjectival (it's a word!) form of "commonsense," "commonsensical." *English geek*

9. I believe he does that on purpose for additional air time
Contrast that with the article recently (don't recall if it was Wapost or NYTimes) that said his enunciation was much more polished and the accent going away.
