Words of Wisdumm from Janet :

Napolitano said the strategy of identifying and isolating those who seem ill and try to cross into the United States was adequate given the circumstances, as a reporter asked if closure of the border had been considered.

“We're already doing passive surveillance at the border,” Napolitano said. “You would close the border if you thought you could contain the spread of disease, but the disease is already in a number of U.S. states.”

This may be one of the top 10 dumbest remarks ever spoken .

try some simple word substitutions for "disease" and "number of U.S. states"

Now imagine something of this nature being spoken by.. Teddy Roosevelt , Gen Patton, Gen MacArthur, Gen Schwarzkopf, etc.etc.etc. WTH ..??

“We’re already doing passive surveillance at the border,” Napolitano said. “You would close the border if you thought you could contain the spread of disease, but the disease is already in a number of U.S. states.”<<<

I cried when she was elected.

Last week the new Gov was in our county, she was on the radio, talked about how bad a shape our state is in, and then told us what she was doing to fix it.

Then she said, “If all goes as we have worked it out, we should be back on an even keel in 2012..”

That is what the brainy Napolitano did for our state.

We will not see the border close, until a couple of the democratic leaders get the flu and die, then the rest will get scared and close it.

Passive surveillance? Sounds impressive. not. What the heck is passive surveillance? Just watching with some binoculars and a notepad? That's more like what the Minutemen have been doing - but then they at least call the BP to take action.
