Unnamed Senior Bush Officials Not On Vacation

As of Saturday, Blanco still had not declared a state of emergency, the senior [unnamed, unattributed] Bush official said.

[Manuel Roig-Franzia and Spencer Hsu, "Many Evacuated, but Thousands Still Waiting: White House Shifts Blame to State and Local Officials", 4 September 2005.]

[Later:]
Correction to This Article
A Sept. 4 article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina incorrectly said that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D) had not declared a state of emergency. She declared an emergency on Aug. 26.

Anyone want to start a pool on who the "senior [unnamed, unattributed] Bush official" might be?
