A Little Benghazi


The DiploMad 2.0 by noreply@blogger.com (DiploMad)

I am working on something else but ran across this little gem over at The Gateway Pundit . Citing a report in The Blaze, The Gateway Pundit tells us that,
Charlene Lamb, cited for failures in leadership from the Department of State’s own Accountability Review Board report, has been promoted to Regional Security Officer. We’ve heard rumor that she’s slated for international duty in Canada. She started the security officer training last week, much to the dismay of many within the State Department.
For those not keeping track, Charlene Lamb was in charge of the office that denied extra security personnel to the U.S. Ambassador in Libya before the Sept. 11, 2011 attacks.
To the seven or eight readers of this blog, this should come as no surpise.

On December 27, 2012, I predicted this would happen; that only would nobody be fired, but that promotions would come,
Once even the little dust created by the scandal has dissipated, the four bureaucrats asked to take the mini-spear for Chicago will--mark my words--get monetary awards. They will be written up for showing courage and fortitude under difficult circumstances. The senior people will evade all responsibility; ol' whats-her-name will slip out of the building and leave her desk to John "Xmas in Cambodia" Kerry, the dead will be forgotten, the Islamist Morlocks will lick their fingers and get ready for another helping of Eloi.

All unfolds as foretold by Diplodamus . . .

Man Dies After 8 Hours in ER Waiting Room

JON VERRIER WAS ONLY THERE FOR A RASH

(NEWSER) – Jon Verrier came into the emergency room at Saint Barnabas Hospital complaining of a rash. Eight hours later he was found "stiff, blue, and cold" in a waiting room chair, having died unnoticed several hours earlier, an emergency room worker told ABC 7. The 30-year-old arrived at the Bronx hospital at 10pm, and the hospital says his name was called three times between then and 2am. Security footage shows he was alive as late as 3:45am. Finally, at 6:40am, a security guard noticed that Verrier was dead.

Saint Barnabas has concluded that "all hospital guidelines were met," a spokesperson says. But the employee has a more harsh assessment: "He died because not enough staff," he said. "For me, it feels like a cover-up." Indeed, Verrier's family didn't know the circumstances of his death until after ABC 7's report aired, the New York Daily News reports. "You're just a number no matter where you go," his brother lamented. "That's how they treated him, like a number." The New York Post adds that Saint Barnabas' emergency room has an average turnaround time of 307 minutes, more than twice the national average.
