On the Sunday talk shows, top officials and former officials from both parties expressed strong confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in the aftermath of Napolitano's statement that "the system worked" in the Detroit terrorist incident. Napolitano quickly backed down from her assertion, but the controversy over her remarks fueled questions about whether she is up to the task of running the Department of Homeland Security.
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, was asked if Napolitano is the right person for the job. "Yes, she is," Lieberman answered. On the same program, Sen. Susan Collins, the committee's ranking Republican, was asked if she has confidence in Napolitano. "I do," Collins answered.
"I will say that her initial comments were bizarre and inappropriate," Collins added. "It baffled me that she said that the system worked very, very smoothly when clearly it did not. Nevertheless, I believe that Secretary Napolitano is working very hard, and she will cooperate with our efforts to ensure that these breaches will not happen again."

What a joke. Collins is an idiot. Lindsay Graham and McCain also support Naplitano?
Well....OK then. If Susan says so....
Aw, geez! Not one of the Mainiac twins!!
Susan Collins talks like she doesn’t have enough sense to come in out of the rain.
Geez, key Republican Susan Collins?????
Traitors.
RINOs ....
Failure is inexcusable and yet....excused.
Our Congress is full of idiots and incompetents.
Point of order: Collins? Republican? Beam me up, Scotty!
Just VOTE THEM OUT!!
The Republicrat party hard at work defending the American people from man caused disasters.
Politicians say another politician is okay???....great, I feel much better. (extreme sarcasm)
Chertoff is also part of the elitist problem inside our government. I knew people inside DHS that said when he came in, all of the technically astute people were replaced with lawyers. His comments about Incompetano only reinforces what I already knew.
Sadly it’s going to take a successful attack (or two) to wake some people up... and it’s just a matter of time with these folks.
Sen. Loserman and a Rino chime in with their support for another loser. What else is new.
They are crazy and need to be removed from office.
Key Dems and Repubs?
If they support the bimboette, they are not key...but they most certainly are stupid.
