1. Just how does one go about "asking FEMA" ?

[Hissyspit]

3. LOL

Stop with the logic!

[tekisui]

10. First you have to work for FEMA , and then act like a reporter.

[Olney Blue]

2. Dana the Deflector

"you'll have to ask FEMA"

[mittenlandgirl]

4. condones...

"the white house condones it"

of course they do...tell us something new Dana.

yeesh



:eyes:

6. Ha! I heard that. It was amusing that she appeared to think she was ready

for the question, had her concise no-nonsense response ready and then thought she could smartly move on, but the reporters didn't let it go.

[tiptoe]

5. Don't privatize...

...because of these REPUBLICONS: They're Sabotaging "Government" on Purpose!

Just like Katrina.

Just like post-9/11 Ground Zero.

Just like "Energy Crisis" in California (Sch*zenegger's one of their tools).

Efforts by indifferent, deliberately-"incompetent" right-wing "patriots" to make "government" look bad, while mooching off the public payroll, so that private companies, like Blackwater USA, can be substituted for governmental programs.

Self-fulfilling "reality-creating" of O'Reilly's "you can't rely on government" editorials.

A&*%#(%#&@#%.

List of examples of Republicon/Neocon-in-government "Method" of disaster-cultivation: See Perry Logan video (EAR-ALERT!)

"500 Florida airboat pilots volunteered to rescue Hurricane Katrina victims, transport relief workers and ferry supplies, but FEMA wouldn't allow them in."

"The Homeland Security Department has requested and continues to request that the American Red Cross NOT come back into New Orleans."

"US won't let Canada help Katrina victims."

"Northern Command was in position waiting for Presidential orders..."

"Confirmation of BBC report: Navy ship still unused six days after Katrina."

"FEMA prevents water and fuel delivery... cuts communication lines."

"EPA allows Toxic chemicals to harm poor Katrina victims."

"FEMA ignored its own hurricane plan."

"FEMA created a Southeast Louisiana backup plan, but post-Katrina FEMA documents demonstrate that the plan was never implemented."

"FEMA guaranteed Billions in profits for big companies."

Recent revelation (yesterday): "For the record, this is the third time (that we know of) that Bin Laden has somehow slipped through our fingers."

7. Greg Palast on California vs Louisiana (and he's not kind to Al Gore) (x-post)

8. Apparently FEMA is part of somebody's elses Administration

because the WH doesn't take any responsibility for them.

Then again, they don't take any responsibility for anything that goes wrong ...

[tiptoe]

13. (amongst themselves...

they credit one another for when things DO go wrong! Helter skelter saboteurs, they are!!)

[Roland99]

9. I think, like, ya know, like I might have found, like, another pic of Dana

[tekisui]

11. Was FEMA's fake news conference practice for future

fake news conferences? Is it the newest propaganda tool, or has this gone on before?

I know that after 9/11 WH reporters were fed questions, and of course the fake reporter Jeff Gannon. But, an entire news conference faked? It boggles the mind.

12. Tough questions cannot be tolerated in the Homeland!
