HEADS UP: Just got off phone with FEMA Friend... (ABC 6:30 EST)

[Ioo]

I have been friends with someone for some time, her husband has been with FEMA for damn near ever...

Anyway, He will be on ABC News sometime during the 6:30 ABC World News Tonight, and may also be on Teds late show.

He is the ONLY person at FEMA who will speak out, his name is Leo Bosner, he is the vice president of the FEMA Headquarters Employees Union.

He speaks here in a Washington Post Story, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28022-2004Dec26_2.html

Anyway, he is a great guy, and has a brass set of balls, he will spealk on Chertoff.

Heads up...

[Atman]

3. If anyone deserves a good spealking, it's Chertoff

What a dumbass mofo that guy is. Spealk away, Chertoff. You'll burn in hell anyway.

4. Any more hints?

Please just a small tidbit? I hate secrets.

[Ioo]

5. He would not tell me, but if you have questions after, I may...

Be able to get some answers.

He has blown the wistle on FEMA a few times, so I do not expect this guy to pull any punches.

I do know he is on with 2 other people, we will see, He taped it around 10 am this AM, but he is not sure how it will edit.

7. My guess is that Bush filled FEMA with freepers

and most freepers hate everyone who is different from them, especially black people. The FEMA Freepers did whatever they could to screw up the rescue effort. They cared less about saving lives and quite frankly some of them wanted a lot of people to die. Those are the ones who should be charged with murderer. Sick MFers all of them.

6. FEMA employees are unionized? That explains ALOT n/t

[Ioo]

8. Almost all Gov is, largest Union in the Nation I think

[catnhatnh]

9. Wrong.....

a union means protected workers, not incompetent ones

[preciousdove]

11. GOP will do ANYTHING to bust unions -- get that chip off your shoulder now

or direct your post to woodiray.

[catnhatnh]

14. OK...I walked lightly in my first post.....

FEMA reacts with an incompetence not equaled in decades because of political appointees being placed in charge.Yet you state that having unions explains a lot....then mention the obvious-repubs hate unions and then finish with I have a chip on MY shoulder...One or more of us is confused and until your second post I WAS NOT.....??????

12. He is a friend of mine, a real friend, and he is not a shill

He has been with FEMA for YEAR, long before Bush, was in OK city, Andrews, 9/11. This guy is a real disaster guy....

[snippy]

15. You could not be more wrong. You are either misinformed or mendacious.

Bush's followers, like Bush himself, have no honor or integrity.

[Lerkfish]

16. um...yeah.

not too transparent, there.

[Ioo]

13. He is keynote speaker on disaster.

17. Ha-cha-cha! Thanks for this! Can't watch at that hour, but I will be

watching HERE for updates.

Thank you, AND THANK YOUR FRIEND!!!!!

Even though it's technically not scientifically accurate, so I'm told, Michael Dukakis's statement still holds: "The fish rots from the head." This was "republi-CON trickle-down" politics at its WORST and MOST SINFUL. Not to mention - MOST CRIMINAL, too.

18. I just watched the news...

He did a great job!

[LandOLincoln]

19. His segment just ran here in Albuquerque--he's been with FEMA

from the beginning.

Impressive guy, and an impressive piece, what little I saw of it. I hope ABC shows it again and again and again.
