What? The ONLY reason that there was an evacuation order was because Bush TOLD her to order one!

Brown says he did not expect to be insulted because he wasn't Rudy Guilani.

Shays is complaining that Brown didn't violate federal law and take matters into his own hands and violate federal/state boundaries, because the "end" justifies the "means".

Brown: I don't think I need to sit here and be berated because I'm not Rudy Guiliani.

We did catostrphic planning a year ago and use the resources I have and move all of them in there because I know this is going to be a catastrophic event.

You can listen to the FEMA videoconferences where I pre positioned assets.

We learned that communications are going to break down. Am I supposed to magically pull out of the air communication systems?

Shays: After Hurricane Pam, did you ask for the equipment you needed? What documentation do you have.

Brown: We asked DHS for the equipment.

Shays: Who denied your request.

Brown: You'll have to ask DHS.

RINO Shays now saying Rudy Guilani would have done differently

What an idiot. Guess he didn't hear Giuliani and Kerick's post-Katrina analysis where they faulted local and state officials.

Brown is standing up for himself. Talking over him. Shay's ignorance and behavior today nailed his coffin for me.

LA purchase? Is this guy an idiot?

Based on the billions that Blanco has requested we're getting another opportunity to repurchase LA.

I agree with you.

The fact that Brown is now a largely independent attack dog for the administration is very interesting.

In addition, we have a second, well executed evacuation under the administrations belt.

This could end up being exactly what we have been waiting for. Never forget that President Bush once said that he is "a very patient man." And crow is a dish best served cold. Just sayin.

Come on--dontcha know the Federal Government, on top of providing SS checks, welfare checks, disability checks, is also supposed to know when an emergency takes place and give you $5 so you can leave your house--and of course they are also to make sure there is enough gas in every gasoline station along your evac route. And then they're supposed to have MRE's and water waiting for you whenever you need it--and toilets to get "rid" of same.

EGAD--Dims are not only advancing a nanny state--they want a MOMMY state!

And FOX cut away as soon as the truth started to come out.

Is it just me .. or is FOX leaning much more to the left ..?? I sure hope not. Of course, in another week it won't matter .. I have cancelled my extended cable service. I have to cut expenses somewhere - and $36 is a lot of money to pay for 4-5 cable channels that I watch.

What part of that do you not understand

Shays was way out of line with those personal attacks. He should apologize for that.
