Imagine the hysteria Monday in Washington...

[elehhhhna]

When the media can start checking resumes & references in earnest.

It is a fireable offense and IIRC a felony to lie on a FED job application.

Gonna be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.

1. What a wonderful thing it will be

I wonder how many are going to decide it's time they spend more time with their families? :)

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

2. Bolton Lied To Congress

And our Asshole of a leader still Installed him at the UN against Congress' Democratic objections. This SOB doesn't care, but hopefully the MSM will let the public know the CONSTANT & NEVER ENDING DECEPTION that this administration engages in.

It is so FUCKING DISGUSTING!

[Nabia2004]

15. cronyism & incompetence kills - the Dems have to

The Dems have to hold Brown's incompetence up to the light and demand accountability when it comes to all members of the Bush administration.

[Nabia2004]

3. The FBI knew Brown's resume & references were lies, the WH too

That point needs to be addressed by the media.

[never_get_over_it]

5. I heard on a news show - might have been KGO

that Brown said that he didn't do that resume himself that the WH and FEMA did it - going to have to look for a link for that - because that is quite interesting if true

[Joebert]

4. Do you think appointees have a job application?

I can't imagine that there would be a formal process.

Especially when we see the idiots appointed.


But I totally agree, the media should get out the chain of command list, go through each one, and report on who is not qualified.

And they should do this for every administration, every appointee, from now on.

With Judge Roberts, he is qualified, since he is actually a judge. He may be nuts, but he's a judge.

Mike Brown's only job that he could handle at FEMA would be copy-boy or something.

[elehhhhna]

8. Yes, plus an FBI b/g check.

[zydeco]

10. wouldn't FEMA Director warrant a security clearance and

thus an application to investigate?

[Joebert]

16. I have no doubt background checks are in order.

I just can't fathom a form filled out by somebody being politically appointed.

I guess I always assumed Bush says his good friend, the toaster oven, will be his appointee for FEMA director.

The toaster oven waits for the congress or whatever process to say ok, and then they report to work.

During that process, the FBI runs the checks, and off they go.

Maybe I am being silly, but I just get this picture of Brown filling out a job app like you'd see at McDonalds.

[DURHAM D]

11. Yes, a serious process.

Check out the quote in today's St. Petersburg newspaper from attorney Stephen Jones who was Brown's previous employer before he fired Brown for "lack of interest in his job".

Jones was interviewed by the FBI prior to Brown's appointment. Jones thought Brown was in line for a state job. When the FBI told Jones it was for the head of FEMA Jones responded "You have got to be kidding".

17. could you please link to this??

[DURHAM D]

21. Actually I don't know how to do the link thing -

but if you go to Buzz Flash it is on the left about 5 hits down.

[bobbieinok]

18. could you please link to this??

6. If people die as a result of a person committing a felony

Does that not become a capitol offense? What of the persons responsible for investigating this cretins resume should they be likewise charged as accessories to murder?
Oh wait, I forgot this guy ain't Black.

[Stinky Bushes]

7. Yep it's a criminal offense but

Tom Delay and others are somehow magically protected by this Administration...would hope indictments would follow...but Bush power and influence I'm afraid may trump the law in this case...

All we can do is get on the horn and call all the Congressmen we can to complain and demand impeachment of Bush...toll free at 1-877-762-8762.

Boxer, Pelosi, Kerry, McCain, Feingold, Reid, Clinton, Sam Johnson (my freeper Representative), Wexler, Collins, just to name a few.

9. Check All The Resumes

Of all the F$%CKERS that are in bushes administration.....let just find out how far down the ladder that incompetance is rooted.....and then get rid of anyone whos resume doesnt stand an independent background check...


David Conyers......here is another one for you to take on.....

[KerryOn]

12. There won't be any shakin goin' on....

Bush will probably give the SOB a medal. Ain't nothin gonna happen to him.

[hardrainfallin]

13. I'd like to see the results of some surprise UA s

(in other words: piss tests. On the spot).

[DURHAM D]

14. Do you know where I can find the official resumes for the

top people at FEMA ?

[fiveleafclover]

19. This will take a while so lets start at the top

Let's see, George W Bush is in no way qualified for HIS job, so he's out...

[KC21304]

20. Bush lied when he said how long he flew for the TANG.

He never flew again after he was grounded for failure to take his physical.

[msmcghee]

22. I'm astounded that the Dems weren't all over this . .

. . starting 5 years ago . . when it became obvious that these guys had no intention of governing. They showed early on that their highest priority was crippling the Dems and securing their own power for the next several decades.

Oh, I guess it would be too mean to independently check the backgrounds of the thousands of hacks that were assigned to top level agency positions by this administration . . who were probably just as clueless and inexperienced as Brown. It might have made Karl Rove unhappy.

Hell, Lieberman pushed Brown through his committee. No wonder we get crapped on time after time.

Conclusion: There are few Dems in office who give a damn what happens as long as they get re-elected. Anybody who actually cared would have methodically started checking the backgrounds on every one of those clueless hacks appointed to high offices by this criminal enterprise.

Now, after a terrible disaster caused by a clueless man in high office . . we're waiting for the media to start looking into this. Sorry if I sound dejected.
