FEMA faker Philbin fired

Fun Monday for Pat Philbin, he of the phony FEMA news conference from what's left of smokin' Southern California. He was slated for a nice job change working for Mike McConnell, the National Intelligence Director.
Not so fast, Peppermint Patty. No one's buying the last minute press conference excuse for putting employees in as reporters. Not even Mr. Safety...
The head of homeland security also has blasted the fake news briefing and said those behind it showed "extraordinarily poor judgment."Mikey's agency houses the same dopes who thought firing ex-cons from railroad jobs in Chicago would make America safer. It only took Homeland Security five years after 9/11 to realize tanker cars carry nasty chemicals up and down the country.
"I think it was one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I've ever seen since I've been in government," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Saturday.
Anyway, Peppermint Patty got pushed under some railroad cars himself, except CNN said that Pat's old boss said that Pat sent in an email, and said it was all his fault and he's taking full responsibility and he's resigning his FEMA job and he's not taking the Intelligence job either.
So there. No more phony press conferences from FEMA. They're too busy waiting to stand down when the next Katrina hits and wait for either the governor or the President to tell them to get their asses in gear.
