From the man to whom FEMA, the Army, and the National Guard report, the man who told the Canadian relief team not to come south, it should be "Our response was unacceptable," or "My response was unacceptable."
Furthermore, several people recently have observed that they miss Richard Nixon. It's time for Bush to emulate Nixon, and write a letter, addressed to Condoleeza Rice. That letter should read "I resign the office of President of the United States, effective immediately."
Yes, Cheney is on vacation, or maybe in a hospital. Yes, Dennis Hastert might be a bad president. Nonetheless, Bush should take responsibility, resign, and get out of the way so there's some chance of a competent person taking over.
No, I don't believe he'll do it. If he were the sort of man to do that, he wouldn't have wasted time while the waters rose in New Orleans. He wouldn't have appointed an incompetent to run FEMA: if you know you need to delegate--and no president, however competent, can run everything--you delegate to people who can do the job.

Memory is fallible, and it may be worth checking email archives and other external records before asking about something I've already been told.
No harm done, in this case, except that it's been a long week, and I got upset at not remembering something that I felt I should know. The person I asked was entirely willing to answer, and in fact apologized in case zie hadn't made things clear. One slightly disconcerting thing is that the emails in question included a comment from this person to the effect of "I thought I'd told you this" [presumably in person rather than in email]
Humans are weird, myself decidedly among them.
