Tone-deafness at 1600 Pa. Ave.

You gotta admire Bush. The other day he went to the National Renewable Energy Lab to talk about the great work those folks were doing. Unfortunately, his advance team didn't tell him that the NREL had laid off 32 people due to budget cuts for 2006. Think that might have been a little embarrassing? Well, Hey Presto! Suddenly, those 32 jobs were restored!

Just in time for Bush's trip there Tuesday. I'm sure those cuts were just an oversight, aren't you?

Then there's the ports deal. Here's a President who hasn't vetoed a single thing in five-plus years, and now he's threatening to veto any legislation Congress passes which might cause this deal to collapse? A deal which has a lot of Congresspeople outraged?

Dumb just isn't a strong enough word.
