He's getting paid wages as a result of consultancy work. As far as I'm concerned considering the hatchet job done on him its the least that could be done.

TIM had nothing to say about anything contained in that SNOPES article. NAGIN had a poor showing on MTP and should have been briefed better by his handlers - if he has any. TIM properly pointed out that the job of evacuating the city was the State and Locals job, and that they had the...

I think you need to go and read what FEMA's legitimate role is in EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - they dont just spring into action into a state; the State STILL bears primary responsibility in coordinating disaster management and relief. If BLANCO had come out and said "Take it over boys" - then by all...

An ad-hominem attack is about the surest way for someone to discredit and dismiss your argument - just an FYI. Perhaps in the minds of patisans no. . . False. FEMA units were in and around the city. Of course they werent IN the city - why would they be before the storm hit. It is not...

And before that, in CRAWFORD he consulted with FEMA as well as both the Gov of LO and mayor of NO. The President is also the one who urged them to begin the evacuation of NO, as well as co-signing off on declaring a State of Emergency in NO. It was at this time that the President ALSO...

Ok - again - do you have anything to back up your assertion that the PRESIDENT did NOTHING? I know thats false, but if you know something I dont I'm an active listener and have no problem in getting more information. The response may not have been ideal or lead to a smooth initial operation -...

Abide by what rules? As soon as these "rules" are agreed upon by an international body - and not the GERMAN GOVERNMENT - then sure. . .string them up in court. Until then - its all theatre. Whats to stop the UNITED STATES from instituting their own "laws" that assesses punitive measures...

The great majority of these shows are staged. Afro-American isnt neccessarily deragatory - its just African-American or Blacks is more widely accepted and just doesnt have the tinge of racial bias in it that Afro-American does. If you use the term you might be looked at as a bit "old...

CHINESE - for purely economical and political reasons.

Uh - that phrase isnt used anymore, and really when it was it was used comedically - the hand gesture in and of itself is really the only remains of the term. . . Uh - now AFRO-AMERICAN isnt a term that is used anymore - or really considered PC. . .
