Anyone hear Perino's press? Did she compare Katrina

to Haiti?

I was listening while working, and don't think I heard it right. She seemed very determined to avoid connecting the response of * to the SoCal fires and Katrina. I can understand that, but her words seemed ...very scripted. She said something like the hurricane was 'predicted'- vs. the sudden nature of the fire.

I'd appreciate anyones help setting this straight.

I couldn't find a copy of the transcript on line yet.

thanks-

1. Bad move, Donna--if the hurricane was predicted

that's even LESS reason for such a poor response from Bush.

2. I'm really looking forward to the transcript-

There were several things she said that really seemed wrong-

3. Yep. It seems she said it.

MS. PERINO: I think that's logical. Absolutely that happens. And I think that when we see hurricanes that hit -- for example, when the hurricane hit Haiti, it affects people differently, and a lot of people lost shelter completely and didn't have anywhere else to go. We are fortunate in the United States that we have generous people that are willing to provide shelter. We have a system in place, a system of government that allows people to get a hotel voucher if they need it. And then because of the President's signing the disaster declaration today, that provides for additional assistance for individuals such as if they are looking for crisis counseling, if they need food coupons, whatever they need to get back on their feet. We're very fortunate in America to have the means to take care of our citizens.
