Jeff Neumann · 07/29/11 05:33AM

When White House chief of staff Andy Card told President Bush about the September 11th attacks in a Florida elementary school classroom, many people thought he just looked confused and perhaps a little stupid.

So that's what he did. He collected his thoughts, spaced out for a bit, and projected confusion calm.
