Political OT: Boneheaded Journalist

So Dubya is giving a press conference this morning, and one of the (probably ivy-league educated) journalists asks him this: "Mr. President, do you consider yourself increasingly irrelevant and ineffective during the last 18 months of your presidency?[sic]"

Of course, Bush says no. Of course. But why oh why antagonize the man with this sort of retarded question, to give him more fuel to add to his megalomaniatical fire? Good grief.
