I declare open the Games of Salt Lake City, celebrating the Winter Olympic Games

And this was the phrase they were excited about?

I heard that everyone has been requested to say "Olympic Winter Games." The word Olympic must *always* be first. Radio personalities Rick & Bubba joked about this for an entire show last week, but pointed out the the IOC had broken their own rule! I noticed Bush stumbled over this phrase, but I thought he said "Olympic" first. This article quotes him saying "Winter" first. It's all so absurd!

Bush said “On behalf of a proud, determined and grateful nation, I declare open the Games of Salt Lake City, celebrating the Winter Olympic Games.” (Pharagraph three in the article.)

Paragraph two: Bush would have said: “I declare open the Games of Salt Lake City, celebrating the Winter Olympic Games.”
