Well, you have to give them a little credit. The media watches them constantly, and there's an entire army of people waiting around for you to say something to tear you apart about.
That's not to say this statement wasn't stupid, it most definately was. If it was an off the cuff kind of thing, and wasn't a calculated incident meant to do harm to the Bush administration (which I don't think it was), you can't fault someone for being stupid once in a while.
