I put in a call to FEMA this morning to get more information on the disturbing much-noted report in the Salt Lake Tribune yesterday about the 50 firefighters being directed by FEMA to be used as props in a Bush photo opportunity in Louisiana earlier this week. I got a call back tonight, from a FEMA spokesman, who claimed not to know anything about the report, but who took the time to let me phrase my question every which way before redirecting me to the lines you can imagine ("...everything is coming together.....as effectively as possible...."). (And in all honesty, one appreciates that he even bothered to call back.) Of course, I googled this person as soon as I hung up. On a hunch, I first tried the search terms, "[First Name Last Name]" and "Bush-Cheney". And this is what I got, "[So and so], a Bush-Cheney campaign spokesman..."
It's uncanny. FEMA is wholly owned, operated, and run as an extension of the Bush-Cheney campaign. From top to bottom.
