Is Bush a total idiot or what?

The President said on Thursday in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America:

"I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law during an emergency such as this, whether it be looting, or price-gouging at the gasoline pump or taking advantage of charitable giving, or insurance fraud."

Looting and "price-gouging" (i.e., raising prices until supply equals demand) are the same in Bush's mind?

I remember the lines at the gas stations in 1973 and 1979 caused by Nixon's price controls on gasoline, which Reagan dumped as soon as he came in office. I guess Bush doesn't.
