The incompetence is staggering
Edited on Wed May-10-06 02:59 PM by newyawker99
But you already knew that.

WUSA

...It appears to be a White House staff schedule for the President's trip to Florida Tuesday. And a sanitation worker was alarmed to find in the trash long hours before Mr. Bush left for his trip.

It's the kind of thing you would expect would be shredded or burned, not thrown in the garbage.
Randy Hopkins could not believe what he was seeing.

There on the floor next to a big trash truck was a thick sheaf of papers with nearly every detail of the President's voyage.

“I saw locations and names and places where the President was going to be. I knew it was important. And it shouldn't have been in a trash hole like this,” he said.

Hopkins works in sanitation. He's an ex-con, and he's worried about fallout from talking to us, so he's asked us not to say exactly where he's employed. But he also felt it was his civic duty to tell somebody about what he'd found.

2. The Unfortunate Part...
"we're going through a war..."... Another citizen suffering from the illusion projected by the Bush Administration thanks to his lackeys, the MSM.

3. If it is a WH staff document, obviously people are taking shit out
of the WH without even a cursory check. Amazing.

If that kind of stuff can float out so easily, imagine how simple it was for Gannon to drift in.

6. That means they are as concerned about an attack in 2006 as they were
in the summer of 2001. Shows the war to be a corporate smoke and mirror operation?

7. Incompetence should be its own reward
Hopkins should have kept his mouth shut.

Besides, he may not have found the real itinerary.

But yes, they are this arrogantly stupid.
