New Exit Question: How does The Onion parody this one?

They can just report the news straight!

I think I fell through the looking-glass or slipped into a mirror universe this weekend — and it was a scary experience. First, Bill Clinton did something that made me……

Federal sockpuppets, eh?

New Exit Question: How does The Onion parody this one?

Whoa.

Slightly off-topic: Wasn’t Cruz Bustamante a member of MEChA at some point?

“Radical Hispanic separatist organization MEChA (“Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan”) is taking responsibility for setting the wildfires in California, confimed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger”

“California officials received a letter earlier today containing photographs of individuals holding Molotov cocktails, then throwing them into dry brush. The faces of the individuals appeared to have been digitally distorted”

“Also included was a rambling manifesto, stating that the reason for the act of arson was that “Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, the Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán. We are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture.” ”

Now the illegals, oops sorry the undocumented, have aparently declared war on us from the south. Man, the world is going to hell in a handbasket!

FEMA using dummy reporters at a press conference? I didn’t know Dan Rather was working again already.

They were borrowed from Fox.

Chertoff’s promising “appropriate discipline.”

Waterboarding?

Chertoff’s promising “appropriate discipline.”

Yeah ? Well I doubt it Mr. Chertoff, we will be watching.

I have made unambiguously clear, in
Anglo-Saxon prose, that it is not to ever happen again and there will be appropriate disciplinary action taken against those people who exhibited what I regard as extraordinarily poor judgment,” he added.

Where the heck is THAT recording?? I’d pay to listen to those remarks.

I only wish Chertoff (and Bush) got that excited about securing our borders and enforcing the 1996 law against sanctuary cities, etc., ad nauseum.

We see Vice Adm. Harvey E. Johnson gleefully going along with fraud in the video above, it’s his head that should roll and maybe the ones playing the reporters as well.

They are the government, do you expect intelligence from a government agency?

FEMA… waste of tax dollars. Heck 90% of the fed gov’t is waste of tax dollars.

It’s even beyond creepy,, I mean,, like the focus isn’t even on the tragedy, but on themselves. Nobody needs FEMA. Walmart, Lowes, the Red Cross and average people across the country do more than any of the agencies. This is a sign of how dangerous these agencies can become. It is obvious, by watching this, the focus is not on helping. The focus is now on what must we do to APPEAR we are helping. If that mindset continues, God help those that get in their way of FEMA’s appearances! Should the real Marxists get power, every disaster may lead to war between FEMA and whoever else is trying to help,, like average people, businesses and communities.
The hard truth is, every dollar that goes to FEMA is probably five dollars taken from the community. If three quarters of the government were to be dissolved,, I’d settle for even half, and the money returned to the people, our lives would improve tremendously.

That journalists could “call in” but NOT ask questions is TOO MUCH!

We witness another DCmania. With the globalist Bush our nation’s protagonist, look out for that bulldozer. War aside, for all the legislation, taxation and SPENDING accomplished during this Presidency, we accept precedence losing essential fundamentals in order to gain naught.

Fake press conference? Aren’t they ALL fake?

On the one hand — Heh.

On the other hand — is there something in the FEMA bottled water supply that makes these chicken-***kers stupid? What a bunch of idiots.

The great majority of the structural losses in the San Diego County fires occured Monday and early Tuesday morning (prior to sunrise), when either the incredibly high winds or darkness made airborne firefighting unviable. Aircraft grounded by bad procedural choices and poor communications definitely slowed the containment of several fires, but did NOT directly lead to a significant increase of structural casualties. For the most part, everything that could be done was done.

But none of it was done by FEMA!

This sock-puppet presser should result in numerous firings.
