I can’t believe this story isn’t being carried by the mainstream media in the U.S. Just when you think you’re heard everything from Dubya…

To paraphrase the Pet Shop Boys: What have we done to deserve this?
For some reason I’m blocked from seeing this news story. To whom did our genius of a leader say this?
Ariann: Here’s the text –
BUSH’S EDUCATION
“Are there blacks in Brazil?”
It is said about the US president that before 9-11 he thought that the Taliban was a Bavarian brass band. Now the president of the world’s most powerful nation has put his foot in his mouth yet again.
It was Condoleezza Rice, his national security advisor who had to rescue the situation. When talking with Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, Bush surprisingly asked: “Do you have blacks too?” Ms. Rice noticed how stunned and surprised Cardoso looked and quickly told Bush that Brazil likely has more blacks than the US and that outside of Africa it was the place with the highest number of blacks.
The Brazilian president remarked later that Bush was “still in a learning-phase” when it came to South America.
why, oh why, must this man be embarassing us all the time? Someone needs to write him a script, and give him a little electric collar that zaps him every time he deviates from it.
oh. my. god.
