Understatement History Month

Just now, I had MSNBC on in the background, and I heard President Bush, who's giving a speech about Black History Month, welcoming his guests. He thanked Al Sharpton and his wife for being there, and someone shouted that it was actually Sharpton's daughter. "Daughter!" said Bush. "Daughter." Then after a moment of soaking in the embarrassment with a sheepish look on his face, Bush looked toward Sharpton and said, "I don't get 'em right all the time."

    Why does GWB insist on still presenting himself in public? Hasn't he worked hard enough at being an idiot? Please, let him just amble off to Texas, and Condi will answer the phones while he's out, I'm sure. Let him show up only when it's time to give Barak the tour of the Oval Office.
