Who's on first?

When asked about the FEMA chief's resignation on CNN yesterday afternoon, Bush replied "I can't comment on something that you may know more about than I do."

Because, of course, all his information comes from the news. Here's another interesting snippet from a press interview (full interview is here):

Q:
Did they misinform you when you said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees?

No, what I was referring to is this. When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, whew. There was a sense of relaxation, and that's what I was referring to. And I, myself, thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people, probably over the airways, say, the bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Of course, there were plans in case the levee had been breached. There was a sense of relaxation in the moment, a critical moment. And thank you for giving me a chance to clarify that.
