Asshat - The Commerative Presidential edition

It really was only a matter of time wasn't it? President Bush has said so many stupid things that the simple fact none of them were of asshat quality is probably more due to timing than being overcome with some case of competence on his part. Last week, the spell was broken, the President spoke and we listened as he said possibly the stupidest thing ever to a woman who had lost her son in Iraq. You would think you couldn't be shocked by anything he says, and you may very well be right, but it was shocking enough for me to grant the President the coveted Asshat title. And what exactly did he say? Well here with the math .............
"Don't go sell it on eBay."
-- President Bush, upon giving a presidential coin to families who lost soldiers in Iraq, according to Elaine Johnson. The antiwar activist, who lost a son in November 2003, told NPR's "Tell Me More" yesterday that she met with the president later that month at Fort Carson, Colo., where, she said, Bush presented the coin to a few families. "We never discuss the president's private conversations with family members of the fallen," White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore said .
