Toxins for Thee, But Not for Me...

Not fit for FEMA

Personally, I'd take this whole assclown administration and lock 'em in FEMA trailers until they demonstrated some focus and/or commitment to rebuilding a city lost because of their incompetence. Goddamned shits:

CBS News has learned that while telling the residents of its trailers that it is still working on the formaldehyde problem, it appears it prohibits its own staff from even briefly stepping inside trailers once residents have moved out.

We obtained these exclusive emails that show the reason why: It is just too dangerous, Keteyian reports.

In an Oct 19 email, a worker asks if there is "any safety reason you know of that says we can't go into a [deactivated or previously used] trailer quickly to shut a vent."

The response from the director of the Baton Rouge office, Jon Byrd, said, "the issue is formaldehyde."


FEMA's response/defense is that this only applies to trailers "in storage." Sure...as if trailers "in storage" either haven't been used or won't be. This latest excuse is about as valid as Shrub insisting that Iraq isn't a quagmire. This latest sorry episode underscores the fact that this administration isn't merely the worst ever, but also the most pathetic...by far.
