Posted last night by Holden at First Draft (apparently, the president finds the simplest questions a big challenge):

Or perhaps your president is simply an ignorant asshole.

Q Mr. President, what do you hope Secretary Rice accomplishes on her trip to the Middle East, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm going to talk to her tomorrow when I -- Sunday, when I get back to the White House. We're going to have a good visit.
Q What do you hope she accomplishes, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I said I would talk to her tomorrow.

Um --- is he going to talk to her Sunday or tomorrow?

Right. Like Bush knows what day, month, or year it is.
