Home > Chertoff must resign.
Just heard NPR’s Robert Siegel interviewing Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff. Chertoff suggested that the report by NPR’s John Burnett that 2,000 people without food or water, "living like animals" at the Convention Center in New Orleans, was just "rumours". Chertoff was content to robotically spout talking points about how food and water are getting to their "staging points" — wherever the hell they are.
Siegel, to his great credit, did not let Chertoff off the hook. "These aren’t rumors, they’re seeing thousands of people here!"
That’s what we’re dealing with: A total lack of recognition of the problem, a total lack of leadership, going straight to the top. (Condi Rice went shopping today.) We are desperate for leadership, and our leaders are nowhere to be found.
Michael Chertoff must resign. He is utterly incapable of dealing with a disaster; as such he simply must go

He will be given a medal of Honor and a bonus of a few million instead, after all he is a member in good standing in the crooks and liars Bu$hco club. Maybe Cheneyburton could make him a manager, he could show everyone how to rip off those non-bid contracts by charging for fictisous services like they do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I agree 100%! All the highest criminals of this Administration have been rewarded for their slimey, immoral, decietful behavior! I say they should all have to spend a night in Baghdad! They shouldn’t mind as things are going so well there!
