Whore-mongering diaper-fetishist David Vitter is blocking Obama's ridiculously qualified nominee to head FEMA, Craig Fugate

With the official start of hurricane season only a month away, Louisiana's staggering dildo of a "family values" conservative Senator, David Vitter, is crying and whining that Obama's nominee to head FEMA hasn't filled out his little stupid questionnaire, probably because it's laden with dipshity questions about his stance on Jesus and abortion and gay marriage and WHORES and all sorts of other right-wing horseshit that has absolutely nothing to do with emergency management, so he's doing everything in his power to singlehandedly block the nomination...

(Craig) Fugate had sailed through his nomination hearing and Monday cleared the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee by a unanimous voice vote. Republican Sen. David Vitter said, however, that he'd blocked Fugate because of concerns he has with FEMA.

The hold — which comes a month before the start of hurricane season — was reported in CQ Today, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which noted that Vitter's home state "bore the brunt of the botched agency response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005."

At that time, FEMA was led by Michael Brown, who had little emergency management experience. Fugate, however, garnered widespread praise for deft handling of back-to-back hurricanes in Florida and won bipartisan support at his confirmation hearing and was expected to be confirmed swiftly.

So, two and a half years after an imbecilic Republican appointee to head FEMA, one whose main resume highlight going into the job was a stint as the head of the Arabian Horse Association, performed a fucking abortion on the Gulf Coast through his Herculean incompetence, here we have a man, a Democrat who served under two Republican governors with an extensive and successful resume in emergency management in one of the nation's largest and most hurricane-stricken states, a man who has won the support of everyone else in the US Senate, including Louisiana's other Senator, Mary Landrieu, and Vitter is holding up the nomination because Fugate hasn't addressed all of his precious concerns.

You know, one could make the argument that Vitter is just trying to best serve the people of his state by being thorough, but when you get right down to the heart of the matter, this guy is just doing everything he can to obstruct anything Obama does just to get his name in the newspapers back home as being anti-Obama. It's nothing more than a desperate attempt to get back into the good graces of the wingnuts and Jesus freaks who comprise his constituency, the same ones he alienated with his penchant for trollop-boning.

Incidentally, this week is the official kickoff of porn star Stormy Daniels' campaign for Vitter's seat in 2010. Sure, the whole thing is obviously a joke and PR ploy, but I'd bet my last dollar that if Daniels were in the US Senate she'd at least have the good sense not to hold up this nomination so the guy could get to work doing his fucking job before the start of another hurricane season!
