I think that he wrote that pretty early into this...the entire article is a quote. Even if not entirely up-to-date it gives one pause...

Here's a transcript from CNN's coverage of Bush's visit to Biloxi:
(He's talking to 3 survivors. One man and two ladies.)

Bush to women: "There's a Salvation Army center that I want to, that I'll tell you where it is, and they'll get you some help. I'm sorry.... They'll help you.....

Woman 1: "I came here looking for clothes..."

Bush: "They'll get you some clothes, at the Salvation Army center..."

Woman 1: "We don't have anything..."

Bush: "I understand.... Do you know where the center is, that I'm talking to you about?"

Guy with shades: "There's no center there, sir, it's a truck."

Bush: "There's trucks?"

Guy: "There's a school, a school about two miles away....."

Bush: "But isn't there a Salvation center down there?"

Guy: "No that's wiped out...."

Bush: "A temporary center? "

Guy: "No sir they've got a truck there, for food."

Bush: "That's what I'm saying, for food and water."

(Bush turns to the sister who's been saying how she needs clothes.)

Bush to sister: "You need food and water."

---------------------------

I think I would feel worse after talking to him...

New story:

As if it wasn't bad enough already, a bus loaded with refugeees overturned, killing one and seriously injuring several others.
