FEMA holds fake news conference.

Castro and other other commies must be smiling when they watch how the Bush admin works.

Jesus Christo! Just when I think I've seen it all...

1 year

2 months

27 days...

...then our long national nightmare will be over, and it will be time for NEW bad dreams

Did anyone get fired for misrepresenting a news conference and for having employee's play the role of reporters?

Any accountability at all?

Think its a national nightmare NOW? Just wait till socialist Hillary and co. raise your taxes to pay for your parents and grandparents "Soash Security" (D. Gephardt). Run the numbers youngins, run the numbers. You will fund retirement money for the richest generation in the world history! Have at it.

Except that your Boy -W has pissed away the biggest surplus the government has ever had.

Republicans run on the platform that gov'ment doesn't work, and once elected prove it's true.

the facts:

Right now the revenues from the payroll tax exceed the amount paid out in benefits. This is deliberate, the result of a payroll tax increase - recommended by none other than Alan Greenspan - two decades ago.

The grain of truth in claims of a Social Security crisis is that this tax increase wasn't quite big enough. Projections in a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office say that the trust fund will run out in 2052. The system won't become "bankrupt" at that point; even after the trust fund is gone, Social Security revenues will cover 81 percent of the promised benefits.

I think we've got time to figure this one out. There are other, far more pressing issues. Like continuing to have a Bill of Rights, or making sure Florida stays above water.

It's impossible to fire government employees.

The homeland security chief on Saturday tore into his own employees for staging a phony news conference at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

"I think it was one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I've seen since I've been in government," Michael Chertoff said.

"I have made unambiguously clear, in Anglo-Saxon prose, that it is not to ever happen again and there will be appropriate disciplinary action taken against those people who exhibited what I regard as extraordinarily poor judgment," he added.

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it.

Somebody just resigned over the Blackwater stuff (Richard Griffin, the State Department’s top diplomatic security official). But the two jokers who directly oversaw Blackwater (Justine Sincavage & Kevin Barry) immediately got promoted by Condoleeza Rice herself.

F*** up, get a raise.

a fake news conference? really? our government officials are officially douche bags...

Here's the accountability. "We have made it clear that stunts such as this will not be tolerated or repeated," spokeswoman Laura Keehner said. She said the department was looking at the possibility of reprimanding those responsible".And after a stern talking to, the employees will be made to sit in a corner with a duncecap on their heads.
