thinkprogress.org — While reading a joint agreement on principles established between the Israelis and Palestinians at today’s Annapolis conference, President Bush stumbled in pronouncing the names of the two leaders standing right next to him -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Did they forget to include the pronunciation key this time? Bush's problem is that he grew up Hooked on Phonics and he's never quit.It's not that big a deal, honestly, except that the Palestinians and Israelis can't understand how we elected the kids on the short bus to the most powerful jobs in the world. Bush is a walking caricature of himself.And on more substantive issues, did Bush actually say anything substantive, apart from "we agree to previous agreements" ?

I'm surprised he even got his own name right

He's trying to save his 'legacy' and he didn't even care enough to memorize their names?! This fact alone should scare the s**t out of every American.

Should "Bush makes himself look like an idiot" stories even be considered news anymore?
