BUSH IS FLYING BLIND---'DO BLACKS LIVE IN BRAZIL?'

Subject: Bush to Brazil: "Do you have blacks too?"

This is unbelievable, scary, but 100% true...
(See full story at http://gwbush.com )

Recently Bush met with Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Not far into the conversation, Bush asked the 71 year old statesman an unexpected question:

"Do you have blacks too?"

Condoleezza Rice was present and jumped in to save Cardoso from having to answer, informing Bush that in fact Brazil is home to more blacks than any country outside Africa.

The incident, witnessed by the White House press corps, is more proof that Bush knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the world he lives in--AND LEADS! This is terrifying!

Equally terrifying: the American media did not report the incident. There seems to be an unwritten rule that while it's ok to acknowledge Bush's lack of "intellectual curiosity", any hard evidence of utter stupidity must be covered up. 

The incident was reported outside the U.S.. For example, by the prestigious German news magazine Der Spiegel. Here's a translation of the article (with a link to the original German article):

Please spread the word about this. American voters need to know that our pilot is flying blind!
