It's gonna be a long four years...

Here's one more for the "If George Bush (or Trent Lott, or George Allen, or...) had said it..." file:

Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.

He bowled a 129, the president said.

"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.

It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.

It's as if the mean kid on the schoolyard never grew up. Can the man think without a teleprompter?

I could be overanalyzing, but I see a Freudian component to this slip-up. This, after all, a man who before he's been in office a month has reinserted abortion promotion into foreign health assistance, elevated a number of radical pro-aborts to positions of influence, declared open season on human embryos, defunded a non-embryo-destructive form of stem cell research, and made motions to compel pro-life medical practitioners to violate their consciences or leave their jobs. Insensitivity to the handicapped seems to fall right in line.
