Bush Picks Portman as Budget Director

Right, me too. President Bush needs to shake up his administration, but it takes a creative decider to choose Senator Padmé Naberrie Amidala to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

I think the mistake is understandable, so count me among the disheartened.
