[givemebackmycountry]

Did I just hear this hand job asshole from FEMA (with no experience) say the are mobilizing the BOY SCOUTS???

He actually said THE FREAKING BOY SCOUTS!!!

Good GOD who the hell is in charge here????

[LisaM]

1. They don't even know how to camp in a rain storm

what the hell are they going to do?

You must have mis-heard.

[skooooo]

2. Where exactly did you hear that?

[KyndCulture]

3. WTF????

[givemebackmycountry]

4. On freaking CNN!!

[donsu]

5. I heard that - Brown said that - if I could get thru the screen I would

hit him. the fucking lier.

[madeline_con]

6. "Platoon of Boy Scouts Gunned Down in N.O"....

I can see the headlines... :eyes:

[LiveWire]

7. Hey a troop of Boy Scouts

Is good at doing just about any food distribution and rubble clearing projects. I know, I've done it.

[madeline_con]

10. Well, it's more than the adults are doing ...

And it sure beats sending DUH-bya.

[Sydnie]

12. but why send in boys to do a mans job in this kind of danger?

I am sure they could help in the areas not as drastically hit, but they have no business in NO at all.

[NNadir]

8. I guess they won't be feeding gays and atheists then, or giving them water

[madeline_con]

11. Funneee!

:rofl:

[LiveWire]

28. Not funny,

As an eagle scout, I can tell you that those opinions are not shared bye every boy in the organization.

[txindy]

9. Brilliant. We'll send children to go where the cops fear to tread

Absolutely brilliant. :eyes: Do they think the uniforms will confuse us into thinking our NG has been returned?

[Norwood]

16. wow just wow.

He cant be serious. :wtf:

[seabeyond]

13. i am getting boyscouts into it in my area

you bet. lots of people connected. lots of donation available

on edit: i dont think fema needs to mess with scouts. i thinks scouts can figure it out themselves. kids want to be a part. let em.

[justabob]

23. agreed

I'm involved with cubs, but we are talking about helping out the kids being relocated to Dallas helping out, giving kids something to do etc.

[justabob]

14. They ARE mobilizing scouts

even cub scouts.

[julialnyc]

15. after the summer the Boy Scouts had

they should know they aren't up to the task


Did he really suggest the boy scouts? That is completely insane!

[Lindsay]

17. My head hurts.

:nuke:

[Jacobin]

18. Well since the NG is in Iraq.......

reminds me of the last days of Hitler when he sent out young teens with guns to defend against the invading Allies

[MN ChimpH8R]

20. I had the same thought

It will probably work about as well.

[JaneGat]

19. No...*This is the scope of *We're* facing?

* right on down are tragically inept. *, RESIGN TODAY.

[SillyGoose]

21. They are going to "mobilize" Boy Scouts???

OMG...WTF is going on with these dolts? They can't be serious about mobilizing a platoon of children in NO?

:wtf:

[Libby2]

22. If this wasn't so heartbreaking

it would be hysterical.

[growlypants]

24. I'm sending my dog.

[demo dutch]

25. Hell it least their moto is "BE PREPARED" if they had been in charge

we would have fared better!

[NYC]

26. Is the government so incompetent that

the Boy Scouts must come to the rescue? This is dreadful. The job at hand has overwhelmed the U.S. Government.

[Javaman]

27. The Get Smart rescue team...

colossal failure*.

[KamaAina]

29. The Boy Scouts are also a nickname for the NFL Saints

Gregg Easterbrook at nfl.com calls the Saints the "Boy Scouts", because of the fleur-de-lis emblem. Perhaps the hand job asshole meant Deuce McAllister would be punching through the line with a sack of food?!

[Jose Diablo]

30. Uh, don't they have school they need to be in?

They scouts I mean, not Brown.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

31. CNN just in:
