Counterspin: Is Bush stupider than those stupid poor people?

Here's a logic poser for you, courtesy of Aravosis, from Luke in Australia:

• Bush, through the director of FEMA, FOX News, and other surrogates, is pushing the spin that the people of New Orleans brought this disaster on themselves by NOT evacuating the city.

• But Bush is also pushing the spin that no one could have known the disaster would be THIS BIG, so it's unfair to blame Bush for not preparing adequately for the disaster.

• But if no one could have known the disaster would be this big, then why should we have expected people to evacuate the city?

Dang, that IS a puzzlement!

But you know, I sat down and mulled it over for a few minutes and was able to figure out that there is no way to reconcile those three statements, and I don't have any formal logic training at all.

So maybe this offers a counterpoint to some of that Bush-loving, NOLA-hating spin we're starting to hear from the right wing:

Well, Mr. President? Which is it? You can't have it both ways!
