FEMA
Deputy Administrator Harvey Johnson speaks to staffers
posing as reporters at supposed press conference last
week.

Harvey
Johnson: "Thank you, and, now, does anyone have any
questions?"
Brenda
Bosom: "(Love the brown suit, sir.) What sort
of water are you using to put the fires out, sir?"
Harvey
Johnson: "Thank you for your question. We are putting
the fires out with a combination of water and special
fire retarding chemicals."
Harry
Smith: "(Love the combover, sir.) Is it true
that you are using airplanes to douse the fires in a very
quick professional manner unlike your supposedly slow response
to the Katrina tragedy?"
Harvey
Johnson: "Yes it is, although our response to Katrina
is much maligned: we were quickly able to stop dousing
the houses there with water after a couple of weeks, remember.
Thank you for the opportunity to point that out on the
record."
Tina
Johnson: "(The tach goes well with the glasses,
sir.) Is it true, sir, that water is the best thing
to put out a fire?"
Harvey
Johnson: "Yes it is. We have a thousand planes dropping
a million gallons of water an hour every hour."
Jimmy
Smitts: "Is it true that you have Jack Bauer helping
you fight the fires?"
Harvey
Johnson: "Yes it is. Mr Bauer has been very helpful
and the fact that we are using him is just another indication
of the professional inclusive response to this situation.
Thank you for your question."
Jilly
Ciper: " Sir I don't have a question at all but I wanted
to take this opportunity to say that my readers are full
of praise as to how well you have handled these fires. Well
done Sir!"
[2
minutes of applause from all 'reporters' present]
Harvey
Johnson: "Thank you for this feedback it is much
appreciated." [Wipes tear from eye.]
Jeremy
Smitts: "Is now a good time to ask for a raise, Sir?"
Harvey
Johnson: "No, this is a press conference. I've never
seen this man before in my life. Next."
Jeremy
Smitts: "I'm your Personal Assistant, Sir."
Harvey
Johnson: "Next question please."
Jeremy
Smitts: "And I have a picture of us together at the
Christmas office party last year..."
Harvey
Johnson: "Security, will you please remove this genuine
journalist from the press conference please."
Press
conference ends all of a sudden.
