Add Another Fumble to FEMA's List

It seems FEMA can't get much right these days. Add United States Geography classes to their ever growing list of training. Yesterday, they sent a plane full of NOLA evacuees to Charleston, except they got the wrong state.

A South Carolina health official said his colleagues scrambled Tuesday when FEMA gave only a half-hour notice to prepare for the arrival of a plane carrying as many as 180 evacuees to Charleston.

But the plane, instead, landed in Charleston, West Virginia, 400 miles away.


CNN has the full story here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one sign of GOOD leadership the ability to hire/appoint qualified and effective individuals?
