p.s. irony of ironies, he clerked for Supreme Court Justice William Brennan -- one of the Court's all-time liberal champions . . .

1. He assisted Ken Starr

2. Dept Homeland Security

Which is FEMA's creepy big brother. It's the police state aspect that qualifies him.

3. yeah, you're right . . . but isn't FEMA under Homeland Security? . .. n/t

4. Chertoff needs to resign NOW. He is a dur fuhrer!

Paul Whitt has taken over in Louisiana and will save the black people instead of setup racist camps.

Michael Brown, same thing. Accountability time is NOW, not later!

Their resignations right NOW!!! :mad: :mad:

5. If he was a "Trial Lawyer" he was experienced in disaster relief,

because he'd chased Ambulances for years and he could smell a disaster out before it even happened, Bushco claimed. He's a former Redneck Rudy Giuliani stooge and was on the team of shyster GOP lawyers, that helped railroad Mr. Clinton during the great impeachment extravaganza. Hell...hating Clinton that much alone, gave the guy an 82 point advantage, on his civil service score, using the bushco fuzzy math formula to grade the test for federal employment qualifications. If Chertoff knew anything about homeland security at all, he'd probably learned it defending guys like Dead Eye Dick Cheney, Kenny Boy and other assorted looters and cat burglars!


Just like how Mr. Brown at FEMA knew his Doo-Doo, about loads and loads of horsesh*t and about misplacing millions of dollars in FEMA disaster relief money. If you have faith in 'GOPer God' and Saint Bushco's appointees, then you must also believe in Hell Freezing Over! Think it can't happen? Well it almost did in Miami according to Mike Brown...

Wexler Calls for FEMA Director's Resignation
Letter to President Requests Brown's Dismissal for Fraudulent Payments Made by FEMA After Hurricane

(Washington, DC) - Today, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) sent the following letter to President George Bush requesting that he immediately remove Michael Brown from his position as head of the Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Under Secretary Brown's agency disbursed over $30 million in disaster relief money, which was allocated to over 10,000 Miami-Dade claimants after Hurricane Frances, which made landfall more than 100 miles away and there was no more than a heavy rainstorm. According to several news accounts by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, "FEMA has written checks to cover new wardrobes, cars, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, furniture and thousands of televisions, microwave ovens, stoves, air conditioners and other appliances." In addition, the Sun-Sentinel sites that FEMA paid $4,500 for one resident's funeral, even though the county medical examiner recorded no storm-related deaths. Another Sun-Sentinel article stated that two residents received aid for "dental treatments due to dental injuries received during the disaster." In six other cases, FEMA reimbursed residents for damage caused by "ice/snow."

On Monday, January 11, FEMA held a news conference acknowledging that they made $12 million in overpayments to 3,500 individuals - blaming these overpayments on a "computer glitch." FEMA, however, continues to deny additional systematic problems and cites the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to prove that there were legitimate hurricane conditions in Miami-Dade. Yet, according to the Sun-Sentinel, NOAA has refuted the weather maps FEMA claims to have obtained from them. As the head of FEMA, Under Secretary Brown oversees federal disaster response and recovery operations, and it is negligent of him to refuse to accept responsibility for its agency mistakes.

"Rather than taking responsibility for FEMA's mishaps and moving expeditiously to correct the problems, Under Secretary Brown has further undermined his agency's reputation by stymied investigations and inquiries into fraud allegations. FEMA's massive misallocation of recovery aid is a gross waste of taxpayer monies, which must be immediately addressed by the Bush Administration," Wexler said.

That must have been the day that Hell froze over, the best I can figure out.

6. He knows the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act inside and out, that's useful

for a fraction of his responsibilities.

7. As somone has mentioned before, it's as simple as this:

Homeland Security is the SS, Chertoff is the current Himmler.

Sadly, a good portion of the American public seems to be so blind that they don't even need a Goebbels. So they stutter and dance, and somehow it works.

Hell, Bush really isn't even a good Hitler!
