WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Monday named Allan Hubbard, an Indiana businessman and major fund-raiser for his presidential campaigns, to serve as one of his top economic advisers, the White House announced.

Hubbard was a long-time trustee at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think-tank that normally supports Bush's policies. But during the 2004 campaign, the Institute accused Bush -- and his Democratic rival -- of not having a credible plan for cutting the budget deficit.

Hard to believe these conservative idiots think they're closer to God.
