I read this nugget this morning and had to share:
Remember last month when President Bush was in Florida and he spoke at an event and afterwards told a man in a wheelchair "You look mighty comfortable"?
Well Mr. Observant topped himself yesterday when he chided Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Wallsten about his sunglasses. Here was the exchange between Bush and Wallsten...
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?
W: I can take them off.
THE PRESIDENT: I’m interested in the shade look, seriously.
W: All right, I’ll keep it, then.
THE PRESIDENT: For the viewers, there’s no sun. (Laughter.)
W: I guess it depends on your perspective. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Touche. (Laughter.)
Lots of laughter, but what's not so funny is Mr. Wallsten is afflicted with a rare hereditary disease called Stargardt's which affects both eyes, leading to variable levels of central vision loss. So... um... yeah... he sorta prefers those shades Mr. Bush, and good luck with those approval ratings. By the way Wallsten has been covering the President for quite some time, his look shouldn't have been new to the Commander-in-Chief. Doesn't anyone brief this twat anymore?
