I'm amazed, though, at the solicitous support Bush is getting.
Imagine if this had been Obama's gaffe or McCain's! We'd have a two day fight over it.

Sounds like the “cut and paste” job a young intern…who got the job through someone's connections, but without any knowledge his/herself … would do.

Yes, the real story is who did this, and who signed off on it. As a rule, I have found when there is no disclosure on the source of a dumb media release (in corp life) the connections run high. If not, the offender is quickly sacrificed.

Clearly a lack of oversight in the White House Press Office.
It won't affect relations…but this sort of sloppiness does not help Bush any.
Perhaps the WH is just marking time now?
