Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) on Tuesday became the first lawmaker to call on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to resign after the recent attempted airline bombing.

The veteran member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee called for Napolitano's ouster in the wake of the attack on the Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day.

Earlier this year, some Republicans called on Napolitano to step down after her agency issued a report warning of the dangers of right wing "extremists."

Burton made his remarks on Twitter:

Secretary Janet Napolitano should resign, saying ‘the system worked,’ undermines the confidence of Americans #redin #tcot

Good for Burton! He’s from my home state, but not my rep. He’s got some stones.

Mark Steyn nailed it when he coined the moniker “Janet Incompetano”

The beast is a dimwit.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano could be filmed with a 13 year old girl and cocaine and she still would have the support of the magic nigro.

The only reason that these morons are part of o-bow-mans plantation slaves is to try keep anyone with a brain from seeing just how really, really inept he really is at being the phony TOTUS.

I’m all for booting Napolitano, but where’s Hillary Clinton in all this? How come we’re not hearing from the SecState, didn’t the pantybomber’s father warn the U.S. Embassy that his son was a jihadist?

Good start, but in the meantime, WHERE ARE THE OTHER 250 REPUBLITARDS in Congress?

Where is Michael Steele?

Why is the RNC not running ads seriously going after the Fascist Community Organizer and his ass clown Napolitano and the useless new "safeguards" guaranteed to do nothing but inconvenience and piss off the flying public and hurt the airlines?

Nope, they are all hiding under their beds, so afraid are they all of incurring the wrath of the State-Run Media.

Until they learn to fight like the Demo-Rats, we will never retake our Country!

Fox News made an issue of Napolitano backtracking
on her claim that “the system worked”. In fact,
she prefaced her original remark with something
to the effect of “once the incident occurred..”.
Combining the two what we have in essence is
“once the incident occurred, the system worked”.

Now, that is priceless. Picture an FBI spokesperson
saying “Once the mafia assasinated the witness we
were protecting, the system worked. The EMTs were
called, the CSI team went to work, and the next
of kin were notified”.

Someone needs to tell Janet that real Homeland
Security doesn’t start when passengers subdue
a terrorist with a bomb.
