PETER SHANKMAN

The President Hates Blind People

What do you do when a legally blind reporter asks you a question at a press conference?

Well, I don’t recommend, from a PR perspective, asking if he’s going to ask the question with "shades on."

Granted, Mr. Bush didn’t know the reporter was legally blind – but still – makes for an interesting "cringe moment" for Mr. Bush’s handlers.

I’d just like to point out that we don’t know if Bush knew the reporter was blind.

Well, at least he’s not waving at Stevie Wonder still…
