...excuse me?

Are you telling me that a man who lost his job because he was too inept to supervise a horse breeding association is now in charge of supervising one of the biggest rescue effort ever made?

I hope he's lying and not actually misinformed. Lying is disgusting, but not much of a menace. If he actually believes what he's saying, he's a criminally irresponsible leader in a time of crisis.

Even if he'd been told otherwise by those under him, it should be obvious if he'd been reading the news that the government was repeatedly warned about the situation. That's just pathetic.

I know.

He's probably too busy looking for WMDs in Iraq.

He had 'no significant experience that would have qualified him for the position.' In this world, as complex as it is, why can't people who actually have the needed skills get the jobs? It annoys me that so much in today's business world is who you know and not what you know.
