According to CNN,CNN.com Georgie admits to reading newspapers! And even more shocking he's using them to find out what is own adminstration is up to and what new rules the Department of Homeland Security is writing.

'When I first read that in the newspaper about the need to have passports, particularly today's crossings that take place, about a million for instance in the state of Texas, I said, 'What's going on here?'' Bush said when asked about the rules at a meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

I don't know which is more troubling, that Georgie is just now admiting that he reads newspapers or that he needs to read them to find out what his own adminstration has been doing. Georgie's handlers don't seem to have a great answer either, "The White House did not say why the president was unaware of the plans his administration announced just a week earlier." Those plans, by the way, are to require everyone, including visitors from Canada and Mexico and even U.S. citizens to have passports before they enter or re-enter the Homeland. I can't wait until Georgie expresses surprise that he has approved rules that require Americans to get permission to travel abroad. Now, don't you have a baseball game or maybe a NASCAR race to watch or something?
