Job performance

Daily KOS weighs in with a few words about Michael Chertoff, the other Mike who should be standing in an unemployment line right now for his ineptitude as Director of the DHS. KOS notes:

The kindest thing said about Chertoff's approval of outsourcing our port security was that it was "unbelievably tone deaf" - and this from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Democrats Barbara Boxer, Evan Bayh and Robert Menendez were not quite so kind, with Boxer calling for legislation to limit the nation's infrastructure protection to American companies, Bayh calling for an in-depth look at the company and Menendez proclaiming this administration "just does not get it." Amen.

And later:

Now if Democrats and the few reality-based Republicans can challenge this administration on its myopic blunders and idiot statements, perhaps our national security and disaster preparedness can move from the realm of "feel good" talking points into a real-world stance of ensuring the safety of Americans. Outsourcing port security and restructuring FEMA - despite the howls we can expect from the administration - seem two solid places to start.

I'm disgusted that Chertoff still holds the position he does. I mean, if you had performed as well at your job as the pathetic Mikey C has at his, would you still have yours?
