Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

Despite his condemnation of recent grant cuts to New York and Washington, Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) said he is heartened by progress in intelligence sharing and improved border, aviation and port security.

"Secretary Chertoff has been in now for a year and a half, and is getting more of his people in place," said King, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. "I think they are going in the right direction.

I don't know where King gets up off giving Chertoff 18 free months to screw up before he figures out what he needs to do to protect us from a terrorist attack.  When I get hired in a new job, I'm not given 18 months to screw around before I start producing.  If I don't start producing right away, I'm OUTTA THERE, pounding the f**king pavement, looking for new work.  And my job isn't NEARLY as important as the Secretary of Homeland Security, responsible for protecting us from a terrorist attack, and from devastating natural disasters.

Do you think the residents of New Orleans are happy that Chertoff had 18 months to screw off before he figured out what his job entailed?

It's time we got rid of this Bush-boot-licking circus clown and replaced him with a serious person who cares about solutions that work, rather than making lame excuses for incompetant Bush apparatchiks.  Fortunately, King has a serious challenger who fits that bill, Democrat Dave Mejias.
