Pickles defends Bush's "Katrina Fly-over," leaves out the gee-tar strummin' and cake-eatin' delays

Advertisements [?]

On several occasions in the book, Mrs. Bush admonishes her husband�s political adversaries for �calling him names,� and she pointedly rebuts criticism of some of his key decisions. She suggested that his highly criticized fly-over of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was in the best interests of the victims and aid workers on the ground.

�He did not want one single life to be lost because someone was catering to the logistical requirements of a president,� she says about the Katrina fly-over. �He did not want his convoy of vehicles to block trucks delivering water or food or medical supplies, or to impede National Guardsmen from around the nation who were arriving to help.�
