Damn us idiots for not being able to nuance the correct context out of "the system works", damn us to hell.

Didn't these same people say Rev. Wright was taken out of context as well? Fuck them and their context.

The system worked, so we're going to change it!

Logic, something democrats have a hard time with.

10

Now that I think about it I can puzzle the context out of this situation. She is a Democrat, she works for Obama, therefore everything she says is a lie. There is your context.

11 I am so conflicted. On one hand, we no longer have JaNo as governor here in AZ; on the other hand, she has expanded her incompetence beyond even our expectations.

12 It's nice to see that competence is such a highly regarded attribute in this admin.

This bloated idiot said her comment was taken out of context.

Really?? Is she trying the Jedi mind trick on us??

Here's her original quote:

NAPOLITANO: What we are focused on is making sure that the air environment remains safe, that people are confident when they travel. And one thing IÂ’d like to point out is that the system worked. Everybody played an important role here. The passengers and crew of the flight took appropriate action.

JNap is right now scouring American military records to see what branch Mutallab was in and when to cause this kind of thinking and action

Follow-up question: Madame Secretary, could you please tell us in exactly what context allowing an armed jihadist to board an airliner and attempt to detonate a bomb would be considered an example of the system "working"?

Idiot.

I have a theory:

She was out drinking with Baucus.  It wasn't that she originally said "the systems worked", it was that she was slurring her words.

27 You all realize of course, that Obama will have to apologize to the rest of the world again.  This time for the stupidity of his administration.  There'll be a whole lotta bowin' goin' on.

28 The only time I think the system will be working in the near future will be November 2012 when Obama is voted out of office.

29 But I feel so much better now that I know that Obama "is receiving regular updates as news comes in."

30 1. Say something indefensibly stupid. 2. Try to convince everyone that they, not you, are the idiots. Which is worse?

31 I know it's fashionable to jump on TSA today, but the fact is the only real way to secure airline travel - or any kind of public transportation for that matter - is to profile.  Yes, improving our intelligence gathering and communication and training , etc. will help tremendously, but the best way to keep terrorists off planes is to profile. That is what Israel does and it works.  The problem is political correctness and the organizations, politicians and lawyers who worship it, will not allow it. 

As to Napolitano, well, she's a hack and should be fired, but doing so would just be empty symbolism.  Yes, a political score for the right, but otherwise it will do nothing to improve our security.

Yeah, right.

3) one way ticket

I read elsewhere that it was actually a round-trip ticket. Perhaps that was the factor that kept him from being kicked off the flight?

42 I say pass out those small "bat day" bats to every passenger upon boarding ... that Dutch guy pounded that sand surfer with his bare hands but it would have helped ...

Well they wouldn't want to profile the poor dear. You on the other hand probably pose a serious risk.

57 That's what I admire about Janet.  Consistency!

58 I want to know what branch of the American military Mutallab was in and when...and I want it now. It's the only reasonable focus, dammit

59 Since Gibbsy was spouting that same "the system worked" garbage yesterday I'm wondering if he'll come out in today's press briefing and take the same line as JanNap.  These bozos can't even manage a logical and consistent message, and we're supposed to believe they will be fully competent to handle the US healthcare system?

60 At least this incident may get Janet from looking for returning Iraq veterans, and ex D.C. police chief Charles Moose from looking for two white guys in a white van.

61
I am just very, very thankful that the explosives did NOT work and we aren't mourning the death of a couple hundred people.  Wee Wee and Bruno don't seem to give a rat fuck about that little fact, but we shouldn't forget that while piling on them for it.

62 and I am still looking for the real killer.

63 Let me be clear:  The system failed.  And by "the system," I mean "George Bush's system."  And by "failed," I mean George Bush and the Republicans want to poison the air and the water and want babies to die in giant fireballs at 30,000 feet, so that the fat cats at Halliburton can pull down another billion."

64 The system DID work when you consider that the system is designed not to hurt the feelings of anyone by doing a little profiling.

65 You on the other hand probably pose a serious risk.

I do like to think so.

Napolitano is so stupid she doesn't know the "out of context" meme has become a parody due to overuse by the idiots in office now.

aaaannnnd it's Bush's fault!

Damn that Bush.  Putting COMPLICATED SYSTEMS in place.

73 sockpuppet off.

74 SIAS--Someone is acting stupidly...

75 "While thumbing through the 2,000 page Health Care reform package, President Wee-Wee bemoaned the complicated Bush-era procedures that apparently require something called a "passport" for international travel..."

76 The first spin didn't pass the laugh test. Watch them scramble, laugh (bitterly) some more.

77 For Christ sakes, why does this stupid cow still have a job?  Personally, I wouldn't fly overseas right now, not for nothing.  I don't trust this sow with my or my familie's lives.  DHS is more focused on returning GIs, Tea Bag attendees, or anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader.

78 Context? Never heard of it.

79 I want to make sure I understand the WaPo piece correctly.  Checking out intel is really hard.  We can't expect them to investigate every person who travels to Yemen, has his father tell us that he is dangerous, is on a watch list, and boards a plane with no passport and no luggage.

Did I get that right?

80 80 I want to make sure I understand the WaPo piece correctly.  Checking out intel is really hard.  We can't expect them to investigate every person who travels to Yemen, has his father tell us that he is dangerous, is on a watch list, and boards a plane with no passport and no luggage.

Did I get that right?"   Yeah pretty much. Did you know the terrorist watchlist was written in crayon?

81 Maybe the TSA should mandate that all airlines use pigskin seat covers.

82 What is hard to understand is why he wasn't checked more thoroughly when he attempted to board the flight with a visa issued in 2008 but no valid passport.  Every visa I've ever obtained was stamped into my passport, and depending on the country I was traveling to, additional papers were required.

No valid passport, no admittance to flight.  Period. 

Huge system failure here.  How Jan Nap could even contemplate saying "the system worked" yesterday is mind boggling.

And since the political cesspool has become a fully-owned subsidiary of CommieSympMuzzFriendlyProgressivism, get ready for more Fruit of the Boom. Already a SECOND Nigerian has showed, although he likely lost his nerve and attempted to flush his kit during his hour-long lockdown of the bathroom on another flight. Coincidence only. Nothing to see. Move along. All is well.

Ace ?  Yo ! ... banhammer me, if ya want. Reality doesn't give a PC-shit.

84 I wonder if they thought they could hide the information Mr. Spanxfire was allowed to board without a passport.

85 STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

86

I have a hard time believing the "no passport" claim.  I fly through Schipol about a dozen times a year and they take security pretty damn seriously.  It's a major transit port to and from the middle east and Africa and for obvious reasons passengers coming and going on these flights are always highly scrutinized.

Even if he was allowed to board the flight there is no way that he would be allowed to enter the US so why would security in Holland let him board?

I voted for it before I voted against it.

or somthing like that....

94 I'm sure this is nothing more than the old high school prank of setting one's fart on fire.

95

NPR was at pains this morning to contrast the Sunday and Monday quotes of Napolitano: in order to clarify the "success context" Napolitano was speaking in Sunday, of course - that AFTER the incident, all the other airlines were successfully warned, you see?

Hmmmm, Napolitano credits her systen with responding effectively AFTER a terrorist attack.  Too bad she isn't a unilateralist cowboy, instead of a senior member of the most nuanced and universally-loved administration ever!  Then we would probably not have to rely so much on dumb luck, which contrary to what you might quite naturally assume, the Obama administration is indeed capable of runing out of.

96 Every time something like this happens, and we poke fun at it, I wonder if we are just the same as the left was to Bush.  Are we treating the administration fairly?

Then I look again at what is being said. And I say:

Seriously? This is what you come up with?

I no longer worry about being the same as the left. I've already gone through the self review cycle, and this stuff comes up wanting.

97

95 I'm sure this is nothing more than the old high school prank of setting one's fart on fire.

Obviously Janet Her Own Planet never actually tried that, or we would have heard about it - on seismographs.

98 How about an airline that serves bacon and ham?  I'd be first in line.  Mmmmmm...bacon.

Great minds think alike.

99 O/T:  I love the fact the Marine base in Hawaii shut down the beach for The Won and his homies from Chi-town.  If my kid were stationed there and we'd been visiting over the Christmas vacay, I'd be furious. 

And if I see one more picture of Wee-Wee heading for the beach with his towel and book (Karl Marx?) in his flip flops, my head's going to rocket off.

Napolitano was Obama's FIRST CHOICE to keep AMERICA SAFE.

Jennings was Obama's first CHOICE to keep our children safe.

Jeremiah Wright  was Obama's FIRST CHOICE for Pastor or mentor.

Obama has ZERO ablity to make decisions.

101 While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time.'”
Mutallab is Nigerian. Haskell believes the man may have been trying to garner sympathy for Mutallab's lack of documents by portraying him as a Sudanese refugee.
The ticket agent referred Mutallab and his companion to her manager down the hall, and Haskell didn't see Mutallab again until after he allegedly tried to detonate an explosive on the plane.

102 What a bunch of fools we all are for taking her words out of context!
Here's an idea: She should resign immediately and we all here won't look so stupid all the time!
Someone pass me the pork rinds and a cold can of Milwaukee's Best.

103 "And if I see one more picture of Wee-Wee heading for the beach with his towel and book (Karl Marx?) in his flip flops, my head's going to rocket off".   He's not reading a book, he's writing a book.  "How to destroy the greatest nation in the world in less than 24 months".  Probably make the best seller list when it hits the streets.

104 This bloated idiot said her comment was taken out of context.

Translation: "it was reported".  This word "context"...I don't think the Obamunists use it in the traditional sense.

105 Stop, I'm getting dizzy.

106 Poor you.

107 Hey, you know how Janet Napolitano is like a booger?

She's hand-picked!

108 The system failed.

109 Janet Napolitano and Gibbsy on ABC yesterday with Jake Tapper.  I guess they're counting on no one having seen this, if they expect people to believe this "out of context" b.s.  Not only did she say it, she said it several times and there was a self-congratulatory smirk on her face throughout.  FIRE HER!

110 Just finished listening to Andrew Breitbart interview Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mi.  regarding his seeing/ hearing the no passport issue.  Here it is, 2 days later, and according to the interview, other than the FBI interview with him Dec 25, there has been no follow up from any of the alphabet intelligence agencies.  Good thing "top people" are so diligent investigating.  Sherlock Holmes would be proud.

111 “The guy said, 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time.'”

Yeah, that's the same bullshit the refugee men pull when their benefits workers (gah) tell them they can't beat their wives in America.  "But that's the way we do things back home."

I don't know why no one ever has the balls to say, "Hey, if you want to do it that way, you can go back."

112

It's clear Janet from another Planet got a phone call from Spinmeister Gibbs or Obama himself...

Just another case of being taken out of context...  I think they don't even really understand what that term means...

113 Why is Janet Napolitano wearing Rod Blagojevich's hairpiece?

114

Janet and Gibbsy on the same show at the same time!?  OMG.  It is a wonder the fabric of space-time was not rent asunder by the distortion of reality!  Please don't let this happen again, ABC!

ps. Has Tapper emerged from his delirium yet?

115

Watch the interviews of Janet today. She has the blank stare of someone that we can classify politically correctly as profoundly stupid.

116

How did this woman get elected in Arizona?  What was her appeal to the electorate?  She seems like a world class moron...

Then again, my state elected Client No. 9.

117 Yep.  From the WaPo story:

White House officials struggled to explain the complicated system of centralized terrorist data and watch lists, stressing that they were put in place years ago by the Bush administration.

It is all Bush's fault.  What?  You expect the current administration to do anything about terrorism or homeland security in the first year?  They had speeches, and the Olympics, and a stimulus handout, and a Nobel Prize to manage.  If only Bush had fixed terrorism forever this wouldn't have happened.

Everything is, and always will be Bush's fault.  At least for this whiny incompetent half-assed buck-passing administration without a shred of capability or responsibility.

118

How did this woman get elected in Arizona?  What was her appeal to the electorate?  She seems like a world class moron...

Remember, this is the same state that elected Mclame.

119 I'm sure Janet will be severely chastised for not consulting the White House "How Do We Blame George W. Bush" office before speaking.

120 Everything is, and always will be Bush's fault.

At least we know that the Nigerian terrorist Mutallab has been read his "rights", and we know Obama won't allow the CIA to interrogate him, and we know that Attorney General Eric Holder will be more than happy to refer him to his terrorist-defending colleagues at Covington & Burling.

If Mutallab should inexplicably be convicted on terrorism charges, he can take comfort in the knowledge that no government official has a more terrorist-friendly record than Eric Holder, who is currently freeing high-level al-Qaeda operatives from Gitmo with the same idiotic zeal he applied to his release of 16 FALN terrorists under the Clinton administration.

Damn ridiculous.  I'm an American soldier, and I can't fly home on a four day pass without getting 'extra screening'.  I can't fly overseas without getting my passport or military ID checked multiple times.  I've been traveling in uniform and gotten 'extra screening' because my ticket was booked last minute. 

For those not familiar, PETN is not some obscure binary stuff.  It is the base explosive compound used in C4, Semtex, and a whole bunch of other common explosives.  When they swipe your carry on with a cotton pad and run that through a machine, they are checking for traces of PETN.  So, this guy has underwear full of PETN, is on a watch list, traveling from Yemen, with no luggage.  And he walks through.  Ridiculous. 

And then the administration tries to say that the system worked.  Ridiculous.  Any third grader could put together a more effective security system.
