"...the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."

Our noble President jammed his foot in his mouth yet again yesterday. Shocker, there.

We can argue all day that what he said was true or false. What is striking about a statement like this is the chief executive of our nation basically condoning a fairly shady (and sometimes illegal) practice.

I love the Kerry campaign's response:

Asked about that comment, Jonathan Beeton, spokesman for Kerry's campaign in Virginia, said "George Bush can speak with authority about really rich people. ... That's his base, so I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. But that doesn't make it right."

Thanks to DailyKos for a great piece...
