LA Fire Chief on Fox again now . . . he's the one who said a line was accidentally cut . . . a few minutes later power company said they don't know about that . . .

When officials from various agencies talk on mic before they all get on the same page, they really can cause confusion. They should check their faxes for the talkingpoints memo before going on camera or mic. Otherwise, we get a mix-up like a 'looking for ME men' after the Murrah bombing in OKC, and then many 'ooops'es.
