BUSH APOLOGIZES TO BLIND REPORTER AFTER
PUBLIC INSULT
Are you going to ask that question
with shades on?" Bush asked.

"I can take them off," Wallsten
offered.

"I'm interested in the shade look,"
replied Bush. "Seriously."

Wallsten said, "All right, I'll keep it,
then."

"For the viewers," the president
said to the TV cameras, "there's no
sun."

"I guess it depends on your
perspective," replied Wallsten

I can certainly see how one could mistake a blind man for a guy just wanting to wear sunglasses, but a couple
things here.  First, Bush and his team seem to take great effort to learn all about people in the press.  They
certainly should have known that this reporter, who covers the White House regularly, is legally blind.  
Second, the President kids too much.  Not only is he not funny, but it is unprofessional and below the position
he now holds.  His jibes are almost always mean spirited and shows me that, not so deep down, George W.
Bush is a condescending asshole ready to try to embarrass anyone who appears out of place.  Not
surprisingly, or for the first time, it ended up with Bush looking like a dumb-ass and Americans looking like
morons for electing this amateurish boob.
