The agency _ much maligned for its sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina over two years ago _ arranged to have FEMA employees play the part of independent reporters Tuesday and ask questions of Vice Adm. Harvey E. Johnson, the agency's deputy director.
The questions were predictably soft and gratuitous.
Perino said. "It's not something I would have condoned. And they _ I'm sure _ will not do it again."
FEMA gave real reporters only 15 minutes notice about Tuesday's news conference . But because there was so little advance notice, the agency made available an 800 number so reporters could call in. And many did, although it was a listen-only arrangement.
Bob Schieffer's opinion:

Reporter: Why is america so awesome?
President: A very valid question. It's because america kicks ass.
