He was also one of the leaders a couple of months ago when the Republicans kept the House open, trying to force the Dems to come back from their vacations to address the drilling issue.
Culberson just finished a news spot - he is HOT - ready to have heads roll because “FEMA somewhere along the line” “dropped the ball” and “first responders ran out of food” and “didn’t have porta-potties”... He got on the horn to Chertoff and gave him some of that ammo, apparently.
Kept repeating about 6-8 times an address/ location that people could take food & water to in order to feed the emergency workers. “FEMA is getting it toward there now”, but “it will take some time.” Something about buses not being used - I suspect he’s a bit premature there if they don’t really have a plase to go, but that wasn’t his most critical beef. “I’ll be missing the 3:30 news conference because I’ve got to get back out there and help the workers.”
Someone is GOING to get fired... He’s going to have heads, for sure. “I’m on the appropriations committee...”
I’m glad I’M not in his sights!!
He is awesome. One of the House Energy Heroes.
