Anyone else notice how rampant malapropisms are becoming?

At the moment I can only think of one very obvious one I've heard quite a few times recently....I've been doing lots of brief interviews with business owners, for articles for the upcoming Brides section for the local paper. People seem to like personal stories, even short ones, to show they understand what it's like to be planning a wedding - not all people, but enough that I heard, a few times, the immortal words, "This would be a good antidote to tell..."

(why, Lord, why?!)

Then, too, I was at a friend's for an opera night a couple of weeks ago. Most of the other guests were women she works with, and one of them was Mrs Malaprop reincarnate, I swear. I wish I could remember some of the things she said....I would've written them down but I thought that might seem rude.

Has anyone else noticed this phenom? Is it partly Bush's far-reaching linguistic influence , d'you think?
