Though Sen. Clinton touted former FEMA director Witt's experience, she made no mention of Raymond 'Buddy' Young, whom her husband appointed to the post of Southwest Regional FEMA Director in 1993.
Mr. Young, a former Arkansas state trooper, won the promotion after heading up efforts to discredit other state troopers whose allegations fueled the Troopergate scandal. Had Katrina struck during the 1990s, Young would have had jurisdiction over disaster relief efforts for New Orleans.
Despite that kind of cronyism, Mrs. Clinton painted FEMA as a model agency when her husband's appointees ran it. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/9/6/235212.shtml Since you’re likely to follow the DNC’s blame game model, and this Chertoff is probably next, let me remind you of some facts regarding his nomination:
Young was a great choice...as head of FEMA any time you need someone to beat the ballz off one of your concubines neighbors with the misfortune of having a camera pointed at his door that accidentally also covers hers...you can have a team of thugs do it to it...
From body guard to FEMA head...it's not just about who you know...but what you know..(of course that could earn you a body bag as well as a nice fat 100K a yr job...depending)
To quote J. Lennon...just imagine..Hillary Clinton managing the War on Terror.. The Border Wars and the Dept. of Internal Strife...
Wow what a concept
