Ship of fools
Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the House Homeland Security Committee said this re: DHS
in this segment of Nightly News last night:

"We had assumed that the Department of Homeland Security was shipshape, but in reality they're just ships of fools," says Thompson.

If I remember correctly, Rep. Thompson is from Louisiana, so his disdain for the DHS goes way beyond the TSA! I hope he gets Chertoff's head handed to him on a platter.

"Somebody knew that there was a problem, and no one tried to fix it," says Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "They went right on through with performing their work, as if everything was fine."
So the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee knows there is a problem. Is he going to fix it, or simply pass the buck?

Of course, he can do one better and just abolish DHS once and for all. ^
