It was "an error in judgment"

What was an error in judgment? Who said that? White House press secretary Dana Perino said it in regards to FEMA's FAKE NEWS CONFERENCE!!!

If you can believe this--and I certainly do--FEMA staged a fake news conference in which FEMA employees posed as "independent reporters" throwing softball questions to FEMA leaders over their assistance to the victims of the wildfires in Southern California.

FEMA claims their goal was "to get information out as soon as possible," but we all know that once again they are attempting to cover over their poor performance during an emergency. Hurricane Katrina still haunts them.

What's ironic is that the Southern California wildfires are playing out much the same as Hurricane Katrina as two dozen water-dropping copters and two cargo planes were grounded while the fires raged. Allegedly, government bureaucracy is to blame for the overly delayed response.

Despite this, FEMA is credited with improving their response to an emergency during the California wildfires. Obviously, FEMA doesn't fight fires, so all they had to do was accommodate thousands of displaced upper middle class Californians. What does that mean? Well, unlike the impoverished minorities of New Orleans, these surburbanite evacuees are well-equipped to care for themselves, and it's unlikely they will riot, rape, and pillage. I wouldn't credit FEMA with caring for this crowd.
