#256 - More Information about What He Isn't

From Wednesday's AP wire, via Yahoo! News, via Helpful Reader E, "Bush Backs Off Forecast of 2.6M New Jobs":

President Bush distanced himself Wednesday from White House predictions that the economy will add 2.6 million jobs this year, the second embarrassing economic retreat in a week and new fuel for Democratic criticism.

[. . .]

[White House spokesman Scott] McClellan said the economic forecast was simply the work of "number crunchers." He said Bush — who bills himself as the first president with a Master of Business Administration degree — was not a statistician or predictor.

E's comment:

Well, at least now we know he's not a statistician. If we keep this up, eventually we may know so much about what President Bush isn't that we might start to understand what he actually excels at.

Oh, but we already know.
