Showing Original Post only (View all)governor perry's administration handling of the ebola case in dallas [View all]
This is tragically comic. They keep accumulating blunders. Maddow just had an excellent expose on the matter.
From not admitting the guy the first time around, not properly quarantining and desinfecting the apartment, sending a regular $8.00 an hour guy to clean the sidewalk with a karcher, having a press conference where the officials barely answer anything and leave claiming they have meetings, etc..
Sounds like a katrina bush moment. Not a very good way for perry to display his crisis management skills...

Knowing Perry, he will probably send National Guard troops to the hospital in a show of leadership
