NY Daily News?

If we're playing by AngryDramaQueen's rules, then I guess my next move is to dismiss the story out of hand as "conservative propaganda."

Actually, however, I can't seem to get past the stupifying irony of a Bush supporter bringing up the whole "terrorist threats/going on vacation" thing.

It was all "systemic failure"...in other words, noone is held accountable.

Listen to the ***** Napoliano's monologue. 20 minutes of BS.

I wouldn't take a flight overseas if I got paid to do it. Not with these incompetent bozos in charge of safety and the bozos in DC saying "the system worked." There just aren't enough stupid people to believe that nonsense.

If we're playing by the right-wingers' rules, then this whole thing is the previous president's fault, right?
