Bush Best With Planned Public Appearances

This usually pro-Republican paper questions Bush's priorities in an editorial today:

As we continue to remember the tragedy of 9/11, this article also brings up 9/11 and how suave Bush was in handling that disaster. They then ask why Bush did not quickly respond to the natural disaster in Mississippi and Louisiana.

The answer: Bush always performs his best with planned public appearances. That is why he took the opportunity to speak at the 60th Anniversary VJ Day Commemoration over a quick response to the natural disaster in the southern gulf states. He was well prepared for the public appearance in San Diego and likely rehearsed and polished that public appearance ahead of time. He likely just didn't have enough time to rehearse his response to the crises (plural of crisis, which the aftermath of Katrina is) in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. I can see it now... George sitting there, thinking.... "now, Miss-iss-iss? No, Miss-ipp, oh, no... ok, so it's not naahwlins?" That is difficult work there.

The question then comes up, then why did Bush perform so well after 9/11? If he is a literally a literary script kitty, then why was Bush so polished in response to the 9/11 attacks? Planning? Hmmmm....
