The problem seems that Chertoff and Brown are the type she'd also appoint.

President Bush stood up and said they were slow.

President Bush doesn't show people up. He's not going to can either of these guys in the near future.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't believe too much of the hate Bush media spiel. I think the rescue operations went pretty well under the circumstances.

When did he say that? Please provide a link.

Not sure about Brown, but Chertoff is most certainly NOT the type Hillary would appoint.

Chertoff was Republican counsel to the Senate Whitewater committee, so she definitely would not pick him personally!

Mike Chertoff is a brilliant man, and a man of integrity. I might agree that he doesn't have the confidence-inspiring "face" the sheep-like public seem to need in a disaster, like Rudolph Giuliani's; but he is an extremely capable man.

Hillary would never appoint a Chertoff. She'd more likely pick a Craig Livingstone.

And btw, Mike Brown is not the total incompetent the media is portraying him to be, either. He had much experience in a lower position in FEMA before he was appointed to be head.

And it is a media lie that Brown was a "college roommate" of former FEMA head, Joe Albaugh.

I heard Albaugh himself say on the Laura Ingraham program that not only were he and Brown NOT roommates, but they weren't even in college together.
