BUSH WAVES TO BLIND MUSICIAN DURING GALA
Washington DC - President Bush drew at least one laugh when he enthusiastically waved to blind musician Stevie Wonder while sitting in the front row of a Sunday gala, the Washington Post reported yesterday. When Wonder did not respond, Bush realized his mistake and returned his hand to his lap, a witness reported.
Hey it happens, I’ve done it before myself and didn’t realize the person was blind. I’ve also tried to talk to people who were deaf and forgot they were deaf.
