"Tuesday morning, I opened newspapers and saw" Chertoff

[kansasblue]

SEC'Y MICHAEL CHERTOFF is informed of levy breaks by reading the morning paper. Nice dept work. No regular briefings? I guess we should have called when DU was reporting it Monday. Come on DUers' don't forget next time to call FEMA and Homeland security when you hear something!

Also you forgot to tell them people were at the convention center!

1. we need to suggest to him

that he check in with DU every day. This reminds me of the Nation Magazine commercial they play on AAR...the Congresslady asks the Bushbot "Didn't anybody tell you about it? The Nation debunked it long ago."

Bushbot:"We'd be fired if we read The Nation".

It was supposed to be sarcastic, but I'm thinking it might be close to the truth.

2. I heard him say that and couldn't believe Russert's lack of response.

Chertoff based his inaction on newspaper headlines? He should have been fired right on TV.
