Christ, What an Asshole - Cheap Political Points Edition

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told the (funeral) gathering that the nine firefighters "demonstrated the same bravery our nation witnessed on Sept. 11."
"The tragedy of Monday reminds us that we live in a world in which danger is all around us," he said.
Here's how that last sentence finishes, transcribed from the opening of last night's "Countdown" on MSNBC:
"...we live in a world in which danger is all around us - from accidents, to natural disasters, to deliberate acts of terror."
Yes, that's right. A tragedy in a sofa warehouse fire is used by the Department of Homeland Security to score cheap political points by reminding us that YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE. Unless, of course, you trust the DHS.
All your freedom are belong to us.
How is this remotely motherfucking appropriate?
