Bush SEC Delay Called 'Mix-Up' (washingtonpost.com) The White House yesterday changed President Bush's account of his failure to file timely disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission about a 1990 stock trade, as Bush aides sought to distance the president from a wave of corporate accounting scandals.

A decade ago, Bush blamed the 34-week delay in his filing on the SEC, which he said lost the disclosure document. But facing new inquiries sparked by the leaking of a 1991 SEC report, Bush's spokesman yesterday laid the blame on a "mix-up" by the company's lawyers.
