Nice cheap shot, Subby, but if you read TFA, this guy has been head of Florida's emergency services department since 2001. And he was appointed and re-appointed by Republican governors, so I don't see how he's a "crony".

The real disaster here is this stupid headline.

 
jake_lex [TotalFark] 2009-03-05 11:15:46 AM  
Oh, wait, I just re-read it and I realized that's the joke.

I'm going to blame the fact that I have a horrific cold and my head is just absolutely packed with mucus right now for this. Well played, subby.

I cannot believe that the Messiah would put someone in charge of FEMA who has actual emergency management experience! WTF is wrong with this guy, and why won't he debate Rush Limbaugh?

Pretty sure the headline is tongue in cheek and is a cheap shot at Bush/Brownie, not Fugate/Obama.

I would have been leery of choosing Fugate. His name is custom made for a scandal.

The guy is a Republican and therefore evil. Bad choice, Obama.

 
JohnBigBootay 2009-03-05 01:43:17 PM  
I can't believe the socialist appointed a Republican who lives in a hurricane state and has emergency management experience. I'm sick of this reaching across the aisle with competent bipartisan appointees. I want less change.

This is how the modmins justify assigning a "commie" rating to an anti-Obama headline. "It's a joke, stupid liberals."

That's the brilliance of the plan. Obama knows FEMA still sucks so when the next disaster strikes and the response isn't what anyone wanted they can say "ha, it was the republikkkans fault".

If he manages to make it work, then obama is the good guy who appointed him.

He should appoint republicans to all posts.

I laughed at that one. And then I farted. I'm not sure if there is a correlation.

Look at da fuggin pendulum. First the Bush apologists now the Obama apologists.

What really tickles me, is all the stuff liberals bashed Bush about for over 8 years, continues to happen with Obama yet they defend him!

Democrats, telling you how to live and think since 1992.

If there's going to be a debate of entertainers, I want Limbaugh to prove he's ready for a title fight first.

I say: if Rush is too afraid to debate with Howard Stern on Howard's little show first, he's not ready for the big leagues.

BTW, can someone explain to me why the democrats have to "attack" people to draw attention away from themselves? I mean for christ sakes, Rush is an entertainer. They control nearly every aspect of government and they still blame republicans for the continuation of failure. It just goes to show you how unqualified this adminitration is.

Bah, Rahm Emanuel held out a nugget and Rush and Steele screamed "shiny!" before plunging off a cliff after it.

This kind a bait is always floating around -- meanwhile, Republican strategists lament the fact no one could muster enough hate for the little old lady from California named Pelosi.

For christ sakes is right. But irregardless, you have to admit that for all intensive purposes the Democrat stragery is disorientating.

I never got that. Pelosi is on par with GW with charisma, always spewing stuff from her mouth that is either a blantent lie or just radical left talk. She's definately Bush of the democrats. Only problem is, Bush is no longer there and she's still a lunatic.
