From Bush's press conference today

The following exchange took place during today's Bush press conference in the Rose Garden.

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?

PETER WALLSTEN OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: I can take them off.

THE PRESIDENT: I'm interested in the shade look, seriously.

WALLSTEN: All right, I'll keep it, then.

THE PRESIDENT: For the viewers, there's no sun. (Laughter.)

WALLSTEN: I guess it depends on your perspective. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Touche (Laughter.)

Wallsten is legally blind. According to a report, he wears sunglasses to protect himself from further degeneration of his vision.
