Blame the victims

That sound you heard earlier today? It was all the FEMA employees slapping their foreheads in disgust/shock simultaneously and wishing they didn't have such a stupid dickhead for a boss.

Apparently, Ted Koppel "spanked Michael Brown like a five-dollar whore on Saturday night" in an interview on Nightline last night. I can't find the transcript online, but it was pretty good according to quotes I've seen.

I am so, so ashamed and saddened and embarrassed that this is happening in my country right now, and it could have so easily been prevented.

That's awesome. Particularly the quote. If you see any good stories on this, you'll let me know, right?

Here's the link to a movie of the interview. Pretty good.

Also, a transcript of NO's mayor telling the feds where to get off.

Scary stuff, thanks for posting it over here.
