But he did have what sounds like a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Here's what actually happened with respect to yesterday's White House pool report , from Mr. Lewis himself (whose email we reprint with his permission): You might have at least picked up on my invitation to call for details. No, I didn't oversleep -- I'm recovering from surgery and my pain pills didn't kick in until 4 a.m. There was a communications mixup with my back up meaning the one and only poolable event - Bush's appearance with the governors -- was uncovered. Scott's announcement and the aborted takeoff were open coverage, and therefore not my responsibility. I included those items only for the sake of the making a little fun of myself -- systems failures etc. I arrived in the office to deal with the missed pool assignment with four hours sleep and my arm in a sling.
