And he was absolutely right to do that. He's not a whiner. I pray he can keep his eye on the ball because he seems to be taking more heat than anyone.

I saw that too. Chertoff was being diplomatic but anyone paying reasonable attention got the drift. Blanco was useless and had collapsed in incompretence. The feds had to take over for her.

That was exactly the right way to answer that question. Since he did not immediately defend Blanco, the viewer is left with the impression that he does think she screwed up but Chertoff is too classy to say so in public. Much better way to focus the blame where it belongs without looking like partisan finger-pointing, which the classless 'Rats are flooding America with.
