Bush: "I am too stupid to get irony when it bites me in the ass."

Another recent White House press release, this one dated today (August 10, 2006)

For too long, the culture of corruption has undercut development and good governance and bred criminality and mistrust around the world. High-level corruption by senior government officials, or kleptocracy, is a grave and corrosive abuse of power and represents the most invidious type of public corruption. It threatens our national interest and violates our values. It impedes our efforts to promote freedom and democracy, end poverty, and combat international crime and terrorism. Kleptocracy is an obstacle to democratic progress, undermines faith in government institutions, and steals prosperity from the people. Promoting transparent, accountable governance is a critical component of our freedom agenda.

The rest of the release is in the first person and mentions "my colleagues," so presumably this is the president talking and not a spokesperson.
