President Bush on Tuesday, talking off the cuff (HIS ADVISORS SQUIRM) about the idea of a national sales tax: "It's an interesting idea. You know, I'm not exactly sure how big the national sales tax is going to have to be, but it's the kind of interesting idea that we ought to explore seriously."

On Wednesday: "Two administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Bush was not considering a national sales tax."

That was quick! But why did our doughty "administration officials" insist on being anonymous? What are they ashamed of?

Most likely, I guess, is that they're embarrassed that the President of the United States doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
