Idiot-in-chief

"Our National Embarrassment" (as the nice people over at TBogg so nicely put it, apparently doesn't know the name of the guy he has in charge of rebuilding the country he invaded for no particularly outstanding reason (other than he wanted to control its oil reserves).

It's good to know he has his priorities straight. It should make us all feel so much better, knowing that our country is in such good hands.

[Oh, and just in case anyone thinks the TBogg folks are making this up, the full transcript--before the White House decides to do anything with it--says the following:

Q Thank you, Mr. President. What is the purpose of the Iraq stabilization group? And is this an acknowledgment that the effort to stabilize Iraq is flagging? Does it diminish the authority of Secretary Rumsfeld?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes. You know, it's common for the National Security Council to coordinate efforts, interagency efforts. And Condi Rice, the National Security Advisor, is doing just that. And this group formed within the National Security Council is aimed at the coordination of interagency efforts, as well as providing a support group to the Department of Defense and Jerry Bremer. That's the purpose.
