Remevmber when Bush publicly stated , not once but twice, that he was watching the first plane hit live on TV and thought "what a terrible pilot?" ---only in turns out that no footage of the first plane hitting was aired live, and nothing was available until the next day? Why has he never been called on this "gaffe," I wonder? The supposedly "liberal" media seems to give this guy a free ride on everything.

QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?
BUSH: Well... (APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Jordan (ph).
Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." And I said, "It must have been a horrible accident."

I should clarify: which footage of the North Tower impact is he referring to? The Naudets' footage or the other one? I've seen the other clip once, and, if memory serves, wasn't the camera was aimed right at the North Tower? It didn't pan around as in the Naudet clip.
