Weasel Words
One of the issues I had planned on putting in my last post (Not Proud to be an American) was my continuing frustration at the way all the other issues I was frustrated about were being responded to with a flood of lies, obfuscations and just plain weasel speak: From the White House, from federal agencies, from the Pentagon and so on. Just remarkable.And today there is just another gem, from the current head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertof. According to Chertof, the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina was "breathtaking in its surprise."
Surprise? WTF? Are my tax dollars paying this guy? How can a storm the size of the frickin' Gulf of Mexico sneak up on you?
