I think that happened the day before BTD and I saw the FEMA peeps at Bacchus' Wine Cellar, or whatever that place is called.

I knew we should have questioned them!

It looks like FEMA is not the only one to use planted questions.

Hillary Clinton just did pretty much the same thing (http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/11/clinton.html).

I don't know - I'm not sure I would call a couple of planted questions amongst a political campaign quite the same as staging a phony press conference during an emergency. Certainly, neither is right, but the same? Not really.

FEMA isn't supposed to be(although it has certainly become) a political entity. I think we can agree that Hillary is. Big difference- I think that if Hillary knew those questions were planted it should negatively impact her campaign, but that's up to the voters. FEMA is a governmental agency that is paid for by taxpayers and is fast becoming known as the most supreme of messed-up agencies in the system.

I was just referring to the practice not drawing comparisons in regards to severity, however I can see where I gave that impression.

Saw that last week. Pretty f'd up on both accounts.
