Another Bush Foot-in-Mouth Incident

[Guest guest]

At a press conference this morning, President Bush needled Los Angeles

Times reporter Peter Wallsten after he stood up to ask a question

wearing sunglasses. " Are you going to ask that question with shades

on? " Bush said, telling Wallsten, " I'm interested in the shade look,

seriously. " ... Wallsten is legally blind. Wallsten tells us he has a

rare genetic disorder called Stargardt's Disease. The disease is a

form of macular degeneration that can be slowed " by wearing

UV-protective sunglasses and avoiding exposure to bright light. "
