Joe Klein doesn't know which way is up

Unaware George W. Bush initiated bailout; believes SCOTUS rules tomorrow

Joe Klein struggled Monday with some basic facts on "Morning Joe"--confusing whether President George W. Bush supported the auto bailout and mistaking Tuesday as a Supreme Court decision day.

JOE KLEIN: I mean, as soon as the supreme court decision comes down, on health care, then they dislodge a whole lot of stuff on a whole lot of issues. It's going to shake up the conversation in the campaign in ways we can't predict yet. But it’s going to be--but we’re sitting around here watching nothing happen. Tomorrow, if this decision comes down tomorrow, something’s going to happen.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: You got to give George w. Bush credit. he went against his base, supporting the auto bailout. I mean, but – Obama.

JOE KLEIN: George W. Bush didn't--didn't support the auto bailout, did he?
