WASHINGTON — The early-to-bed president missed the Super Bowl's (search) risque halftime show. But George W. Bush's spokesman said Monday the administration was concerned that the display wasn't family-friendly.

"I don't want to admit it, but because this White House starts early, I missed it -- again," Bush told reporters after a Cabinet meeting. "Saw the first half, did not see the half time -- I was preparing for the day and fell asleep."

"But you all can tell me about it," he joked to reporters.

Half time started before 8:30 p.m. EST. Sunday.

The halftime show concluded with singer Justin Timberlake tearing off part of Janet Jackson's (search) costume, exposing her right breast. Timberlake blamed a "wardrobe malfunction."

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said of the episode: "Our view is, it's important for families to be able to expect a high standard when it comes to programming."

McClellan noted that the Federal Communications Commission (search) was investigating the incident.

FCC Chairman Michael Powell called it "a classless, crass and deplorable stunt."
