Nancy Pelosi stated last week after a meeting with Bush that Bush was "oblivious, in denial, dangerous." Scotty, of course, denied that was the case.
Scotty was right. Bush was just in his usual bubble. No one had told him what was happening. And they must have taken all of the TVS out of the White House, too.

" One moment of realization occurred on Thursday of last week when an aide carried a news agency report from New Orleans into the Oval Office for him to see.
The report was about the evacuees at the convention center, some dying and some already dead. Mr. Bush had been briefed THAT MORNING by his homeland security secretary, Michael Chertoff, who was getting much of his information from Mr. Brown and WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT WAS OCCURRING THERE . The news account was the first that the president and his top advisers had heard not only of the conditions at the convention center but even that there were people there at all."
Chertoff should be the next one fired. They are all out of touch. They should all be out of the White House and out of work.
