[on first hearing of the 9/11 attack with President George W. Bush]: As we're pulling up to the (Emma E. Booker Elementary) school, the first tower had been hit. We're all, like most people, puzzled by that. Bush said, 'The weather must be bad up there or something.' I said, 'No, it's a clear day.' He said, 'Well, that doesn't make any sense.' We were all left with, 'Keep me posted'.
