Secretary has no response to complaints about FEMA

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff came to town to talk about immigration policy, and had no public response Wednesday to local leaders' complaints about his department's hurricane relief efforts.

He didn't answer questions after his speech before the Houston Forum, which organizes lectures by public figures and sometimes includes questions from the audience.

On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Perry and Mayor Bill White assailed the hurricane recovery efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency — part of Homeland Security — in Texas and Houston. Perry said FEMA's decision to cut recovery funding to Texas means tens of thousands of people who came to the state when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in August soon will be evicted from temporary housing.

He also said FEMA has been slow to identify sex offenders and other violent criminals among Katrina evacuees.

4. Who knew so many cretinous ghouls existed in this country? And are

"running things"? I am incredulous day after day after day, but I should be used to it by now, eh? GOD! "No response" during Katrina, "No response" now. GOD!
But more importantly, were his sleeves properly rolled up, and his tie, how did his tie look?
GOD!

5. FEMA should have never been made part of the Homeland Security

sham in the first place. When the pukes decided to jump on the bandwagon of Homeland Security they only wanted to use it for union busting which they did. It really has no use now. And FEMA is something our country really needs. Too bad the repukelickins ruin everything they touch.
