Diaper Dave blocks FEMA nominee

Our instructions for Sen. David Vitter (R-Louisiana):

1) Grab lower lip.

2) Pull it over head.

Vitter - one of the Senate's leading hypocrites - is blocking the confirmation of Craig Fugate, who was nominated by President Obama to head FEMA. Vitter has placed a hold on Fugate for 2 months.

Uh, Dave? Your side lost. Get over it.

The U.S. Senate must be the only legislative body in a supposedly democratic country where the majority does not rule, if Vitter can singlehandedly hold up important business like this.

With hurricane season lurking, FEMA needs someone to run it this instant - instead of being held up by Vitter's one-man tantrum.

Perhaps what a user of another website said was true: It does appear as if David Vitter thinks you can just pack the flood-prone zones with super-absorbent diapers. Maybe Vitter can get a bulk discount.
