Send Dana Perino Back to College

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino recently made a fool of herself on NPR by admitting she knows nothing about the Cuban Missile Crisis showdown. This embarassing story has been making the rounds lately, as it should. If you missed the whole thing, check out a clip here from CNN:

Can the Bush Administration do anything right these days? The mouthpiece for the president admits publically she doesn't know the facts behind one of the most important and influential events in 20th century American history? Eeesh. Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis. Same difference, no? Just goes to show you can't always get by on your good looks.

So the DC Outsider would like to start the "Send Dana Perino Back to College" petition. It was called Colorado State University - Pueblo when she went there. I hear its quite beautiful this time of year.

Sure, this whole story shouldn't be taken too seriously, but in many ways it is representative of this administration not learning anything from history or recognizing that there even was a history before George W. Bush took office in 2001.
