Picture of the Day - 3


Watching DHS chief Chertoff, I can't seem to help thinking about the fiasco under his leadership during Katrina.

Chertoff was an appeals court judge who was drafted into the post after Bernie Kerik imploded. He has a strong law enforcement background, but no experience in management or disaster relief.

If the terrorists do strike, this is the top government official tasked with response. (pictured with Michael Brown)

  • Thank goodness we've had things easy, hurricane-wise, so far this year. This bunch couldn't help us get out of a mild brain fart, let alone another disaster.

  • Actually, I'd bet at this point they'd handle a hurricane OK. They now know the political risks and it is an election year.

    Election year hurricanes get more money.
