Whistleblower: Chertoff Impeding Rescue NOW!

[Carla in Ca]

HS is scrambling to resurrect/protect it's tarnished image, and that of *, so much, they are screwing up even more! They definitely got the call from Rove..."look good, at any cost!"

On last night's Nightline, FEMA staffer Leo Bosner appeared, careful to say he was giving his personal views, not the agency's official ones. He spoke quietly but did not mince words:

"Right now as we talk, unfortunately, Homeland Security is actually impeding - in my view - impeding the rescue effort. As I mentioned, we're running a 24/7 operation down there and we're trying to do the best we can at FEMA. And we're getting held back because we're bombarded with telephone calls, day and night, from Homeland Security, saying, `Oh, Secretary Chertoff has a press conference coming up, uh, stop everything and get us this information: Can you tell us exactly how many pounds of ice have been delivered to such and such county,' or, `Why are the number of rescues different from what they were six hours ago?' They're impeding the effort right now."

Below: some of the strongest whistleblowing I've ever seen on Nightline.

1. So Chertoff should be fired next. (eom)

[hardrainfallin]

2. and charged with negligent homicide if anyone dies .eom.

[donheld]

3. next?

Who was fired first?

[Carla in Ca]

6. A resignation is close enough

n/t

[MadisonProgressive]

12. He wasn't fired

With BushCo, you are never fired. You simply get together and they explain that they need an out and what would X amount of money do to help you help us?

[Carla in Ca]

4. Well, the asshat-in-chief

just won't go quietly so, yes, it looks like we have to work from the bottom up. Chertoff definitely needs to go next. Any suggestions?

[donco6]

5. Absolutely.

What a dumbass.

[Mr_Spock]

7. Satan can be fired?

How can Satan be fired?

[RepublicanElephant]

9. YEP!...

...for one thing, his arrogance contrasts with dubya's fake "taking responsibility" humility crap.

[burythehatchet]

14. I doubt it

though if Chertoff could somehow end up a casualty of Katrina, America would be better off.

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. They are hampering and interfering with the relief operation

every step of the way. They really want to make this as bad as possible.

Is it treason yet?

[hiley]

10. evil

and destructive, this embodies the GOP now.

[crispini]

11. reprehensible

:kick:

[Malikshah]

13. LIHOP for relief...control the relief

allow for drips and drabs of good news to appear (i.e. real relief) to coincide w/ the chimp's "speech"-- it's all in the timing.

Think plastic Turkeys...staged refugees, etc..

[MADem]

15. There are way too many pics of monkey and Shirt Off

It seemed like he was following the chimp everywhere once the idiot boyking finally figured out that this was a bit of a problem for him.

He only had that one little bit of newsreel with Heckuvajob Brownie; so it's hard to say if the Deathhead, who was welded to him at the hip there for awhile, will suffer the same fate.

Problem is, if he starts lopping off too many heads, people will say "Why did you hire all these incompetent fucks in the FIRST place?"

Of course, we all know the answer to that, but he may not want to hear that question....time will tell.
