Bush pokes fun at legally blind reporter

At this morning’s Rose Garden press conference Dubya joked with Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times who was wearing sunglasses:

Bush: You gonna ask your question with shades on?

Wallsten: Yes...

Bush: But there's no sun out here.

Wallsten: It depends on your perspective.

Bush: Touché.

After the press conference Bush was informed Wallsten is legally blind. Later in the day Bush called to apologize.
