Grandma's House

It seems that John Kerry thinks President Bush should have moved faster when he found out about the attacks on the World Trade Center. According to CNN's report, President Bush waited 5-7 minutes before exiting a classroom full of small children. What's wrong with that? Should he have jumped up, and run from the room, frightening the children? Should he have screamed like a little girl? No. He did what was right. The secret service men with him had to secure an exit for him earlier than expected, he wanted to get in touch with Washington as soon as possible, so those arrangements were being made. How long does that take? I'm sure John Kerry has no idea.

UPDATE: (From the Corner)Here's what he told Larry King: "...And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle's office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon..."

Kudos to Red State for finding that. And for noting: "It should be noted that the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing 'nobody could think.'"
