Not the catering ovens! Anything but the catering ovens!

Usually I feel that Laura Bush is the relatively sane one in her family, but a quote picked up by the AP (you can see it here) regarding first daughter Jenna Bush's weekend wedding strikes me as particularly asinine considering the circumstances:
Storms that spawned violent tornadoes over the weekend slammed into President Bush's Texas ranch and threatened to disrupt wedding plans for Jenna Bush and Henry Hager, first lady Laura Bush said Monday.

"We did have a little — one setback on Friday night. While we were off in another town at the rehearsal dinner there was a tornado. ... All the catering ovens were turned over and the sides were ripped off the tent," she told a luncheon at the White House.

"But everyone worked wildly and you couldn't even tell the next night. It was just perfect, everything was great."

Well! Thanks be to God that a storm system that spawned tornadoes in three states and killed 22 people over the weekend didn't ruin Jenna's wedding. Now that would have been a true American tragedy. At least the caters could salvage the opens for the canapes.

Sheesh.
