FEMA rep re Brown resume.... "oh silly Time..."
I was not listening closely as I assumed this was a replay. Apparantly not.

FEMA rep (female) blithely said Time was wrong to use Brown's resume as published on the FEMA and WH web sites. Happily admitted there were many mistakes, but said the websites "did not guarantee accuracy".

Therefore Time screwed up.

UN. FUCKING. BELIEVABLE.

The overnight CNN anchor was obviously flabbergasted. Tried to ask a few questions, eventually just threw her hands up, like she thought maybe the FEMA rep was a pretender.

1. So gov't rep confirms we can't believe what is posted on FEMA, WH sites?
LOL, well...we sorta knew that already, but thanks for the "official" confirmation that this administration gives out false info.

2. Complete arrogance.
They've become accustomed to the idea that Karl Rove's spin points become reality and all you have to do is say it.

With the free pass the media has issued for the last five years you almost can't blame them.

5. So Time is to blame for reporting the facts as FEMA laid them out?
Um, what exactly is the media supposed to report, then?
