This is the guy who was the Director of Public Affairs responsible for FEMA's fake news conference last week. The White House chastised him (LA Times); Michael Chertoff was furious. (Chicago Tribune) What's going to happen to Pat? Fired? Nope. In the tradition of the Bush administration, he's getting promoted. He's going to become the Director of Public Affairs for Mike McConnel, the Director of National Intelligence. (Washington Post) Think maybe they're looking for someone to sell another war with phony information?
