I saw this on google very early in the morning (GMT). I searched for "intelligent design" and at first there were just two news sites running the story. I thought "uh oh.." and just hoped it wouldn't spread, but when I checked again an hour or so later there were a couple of dozen new sites running it. A few hours after that it filled the first 8 pages on google news and a neon word "darn" appeared in my head.
But I think this is blown out of proportion. It's probably been mentioned already but notice how Bush is clever enough to subtley divert the question:
"You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas. The answer is 'yes.'""
Notice he didn't say that such non-science ideas should be taught in science classes though :) Very clever dodge.
Perhaps, but the MSM knows a "good thing" when it sees one. This is going to be big in forthcoming elections.
I suppose we should look at the bright side. There won't be too many people asking why we have these threads on FR any more.
