I didn't hear the speech so I don't know the context of the following quote from the AP: 'Bush said Katrina "was not a normal hurricane-and the normal disaster relief system was not equal to it."

This just strikes me as a dumb thing to say. What is a "normal" hurricane. They're all basically normal. They have high winds and lots of rain. Do we say that Hurricane Ophelia isn't normal because it didn't move for two days? In other words if it was "normal" there wouldn't have been any relief problems. I really want to support the President, but every day he makes it harder to do.

How about it isn't normal to build a city below sea level.
