Which newspaper was that again?

Guess what the Bush administration's latest talking point is?
Well, I think if you look at what actually happened, I remember on Tuesday morning picking up newspapers and I saw headlines, "New Orleans Dodged The Bullet,"
Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff
Meet the Press
September 4, 2005

The headline, of course, in most of the country's papers on Tuesday were "New Orleans dodged a bullet," or words to that effect.
General Richard Myers - Chariman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
Defense Department Operational Update Briefing
September 6, 2005

And if you'll remember, all the media reports, or a number of media reports at that time, that Monday -- even all the way to the Tuesday papers, were talking to people and saying that New Orleans had dodged a bullet.

There were literally reports saying that New Orleans had dodged a bullet

White House Press Secretary Scott Mclellan
Press Briefing

I ask again, which newspaper was that?
