Once thing you got to say about our Homeland Security Secretary...

She's consistant!! She puts her foot in her mouth at least once a week. She's made more apologies and retractions in these first 100 days than Bubba did to Hellary in years of marriage.
This swine flue miscue is just the latest.... From YAHOO news:


Napolitano retracts 'passive surveillance' term
Wed Apr 29, 2009

WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is asserting that the description she initially gave of the border swine-flu monitoring effort no longer applies.

Appearing Wednesday before a Senate panel, Napolitano said that "passive surveillance" is "not an accurate picture of what is going on" at U.S. entry points. She had used that term Tuesday morning to describe the nature of the monitoring for illness.

On Wednesday, Napolitano said that U.S. officials are "actively" questioning visitors at the border, asking questions about "whether they are ill, their travel history and the like."

She also discounted turning to thermal meters to gauge whether people are carrying a fever, and Napolitano also said she does not believe the facts of the current situation would merit closing the borders.

Somehow she got to be governor of Arizona -- so she must have something on the ball, but I sure ain't seen it yet. Anita Hill, one of her earlier clients during the Justice Clarence Thomas' attempted lynching - must be plumb proud of her.......... not!
