George W. Bush is Mean.

Today GWB gave a press conference at the Rose Garden and answered reporters questions as usual. Until Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Wallsten stood up to ask a question about White House credibility now in the aftermath of top aide Karl Rove having been cleared in the CIA leak investigation.

"Bush called on Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Wallsten and asked if he was going to ask his question with his "shades" on.

"For the viewers, there's no sun," Bush said to the television cameras.

But even though the sun was behind the clouds, Wallsten still needs the sunglasses because he has Stargardt's disease, a form of macular degeneration that causes progressive vision loss.

The condition causes Wallsten to be sensitive to glare and even on a cloudy day, can cause pain and increase the loss of sight."

Ouch. Bush later called to apologize to the young reporter, but the incident still resinates in our minds that once again, Bush is kind of a dumb ass. The picture below shows how he speaks to blind people from now on.
