Homeland Security chief touts on-the-job training for FEMA's Brown
BLITZER: Do you still have confidence in Michael Brown, the FEMA director?

CHERTOFF: Look, I think Michael Brown's had a lot of experience. I think he's done a tremendous job under pressure. This system, as I say, was stressed beyond belief. I think he is in control of the situation. He has a great deal of experience, he's got a very good team.


<snip>

BLITZER: We're almost out of time. But when you say he has a lot of experience, Michael Brown, it's been now widely reported that for about a decade before he went to FEMA, he ran an Arabian horses trade association. That doesn't sound like a lot of experience to prepare someone to deal with the kind of calamity that has occurred in this country.

CHERTOFF: I'll tell you, Wolf, Mike Brown had four hurricanes last year. I think anybody who lived through 2004 went through a crucible of training that is really remarkable.

What a piece of $hit government we now have.
Plumbers serve apprenticeships!
The head of FEMA in Shrub's world gets on-the-job training AND THAT'S JUST JIM-DANDY!

You can get by with OJT at McDonald's and nobody dies. :grr:

READ THE F*CKING HELP WANTED ADS, CHIMP! TELL US HOW MANY JOBS YOU SEE THAT SAY "NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY"!

HOW ABOUT THAT COOK YOU JUST HIRED IN THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU IGNORANT SONUVABITCH?

DID YOU ASK HER IF SHE KNEW HOW TO F*CKING COOK BEFORE YOU SIGNED HER UP?

Case closed.
You're f*cking guilty. See ya at the impeachment, monkey-boy.

:rant:

1. Actually, the new executive chef at the WH
was more deeply vetted than any member of the cabinet. In fact, I think the applicants actually had to make dinner for Ms. Laura.
