Maybe it was jet lag, or maybe summit-fatigue.
Bush on Saturday twice had trouble figuring out what day it was.
At a news conference following the U.S.-European Union summit, Bush first said he was traveling on to Turkey on Sunday to meet with leaders of NATO nations.
"Tomorrow I will travel to Turkey for the NATO summit," he said. "Actually, today I will travel to Turkey. Tomorrow is the NATO summit."
Later, he repeated his blunder -- still not getting the schedule right.
"As I said tomorrow I'm going to go to Turkey for the NATO summit," he said. "Today I'm going to Turkey. Tomorrow's the summit."
If it's Saturday, Mr. President, it must be Ireland (during the day) and Turkey (at night).

Cracked.
