Just Shut It, Howard!

This sort of comment is counterproductive:

Asked in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" if U.S. oil companies should forfeit profits during the crisis, [President] Bush said instead American corporations should contribute cash to hurricane relief funds.

Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, seized on that comment. He said that while Bush was "asking ordinary Americans to do more, he ought to show some real leadership, and call on his friends in Big Oil to join in the sacrifice and stop gouging American families at the gas pump."

Can't this man keep his mouth shut for one moment? Please?
