Breaking: Ice Cubes Discovered in Hell!

Or...someone in the Bush administration did not get promoted for his criminal and unethical behavior! The Fake News Conference Guy, John "Pat" Philbin, will not be the new Director of Public Affairs for Mike McConnell as planned.

But don't get too excited. It's not like Skeletor fired him.

DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff has called for disciplinary action for the fake news event, which was held last Tuesday at the height of the California fires. But Philbin’s departure from FEMA is not related to any disciplinary action within DHS.

Philbin had long-standing plans to retire last Friday and begin a new position today at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But the ODNI is distancing itself from Philbin and said in a statement today, “We do not normally comment on personnel matters. However, we can confirm that Mr. Philbin is not, nor is he scheduled to be, the Director of Public Affairs for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence."
As for the other FEMA employees involved in the faux-news-fest, I can't find any information on what happened to them, if anything. But Mr. Philbin appears to be the Fall Lackey for this particular attempt at catapulting the propaganda.

This is what we're astonished about these days - that a lying, criminal fool does not fail upward in the Bush Administration.

What a sad state of affairs.

he'll probably get his own show on faux news.
