What a moron There is video on that page as well of the incident.

I mean.. the guy is in the press corps don't you think bush might know the poor guy is blind?

I seldom defend Bush but the guy said he didn't tell anyone in the White House, Not Bush's fault.

I saw the clip in question, a CNN video called "Fun With Bush" where it catalogues his jokes during that press conference. The guy didn't say anything to anyone about being blind.

The exchange goes, Bush asks him if he's going to ask the question with shades on. The guy says he can take them off if he [Bush] would like. Bush replies with "Well I'm interested in the shades look, seriously there" so the guy says he'll keep them on, then. So Bush says "For the viewers, there's no sun", and the guy just says "I guess it depends on your perspective." Bush replies with "Touche".

I dont get what the big deal is really.

It's not like Bush told him, "You stupid blind fucker, why don't you take the damn glasses off. Or are you too much of a blind-ass pussy?"


He didn't exactly call the guy out on being blind.

You gotta admit, it has comedic value. You would think even if he didn't tell anyone people would have realised he was blind

Nah but it's the kind of situation where Bush will learn it after and you'll hear this little background sound saying: "Awwwwwwkkkkwwarrrdddd!" in a really high pitched voice.
