At least the editors have finally admitted that somebody else other than the feds screwed up with 'cain Rita. I am still laughing at their usage of a phrase, uttered by a scandel plagued Bob Packwood, to create a vision of another republican scandel.

Yeah! Brownie doesn't get it! He was supposed to make sure all the fellas had magic wands.

I wrote Shays an email yesterday about his "sound byte" comments.
He is a pompous windbag of the worst kind, and has been in Congress way too long.

Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., told Brown: "I'm happy you left. That kind of look in the lights like a deer tells me you weren't capable of doing that job."

How pathetic is Shays? How he LOOKED was what told him? What an utter moron. No wonder the GOP House accomplishes so little.

Just idiotic rhetoric: nothing specific about what Brown did wrong or didn't do that he should have.
To this day, there has not been one specific allegation that I know of. And it bothers me immensely that Bush would cower to these sh!theads and fire Brown.

And pass out five gallons of gas to each resident of New Orleans. These people are delusional.

Shays is a prick. Brown should have said, "Well, frankly, I'm not very impressed with you, either; you've got a cartoon-character voice. Who does your voice?"

That's why these kinds of proceedings are worse than useless. They are just an opportunity for these windbags to get on TV, and the one who is the most outrageous get the most replay.

How many hurricanes did Michael Brown and FEMA successfully respond to before Katrina? Michael Brown was right. The corruption in NOLA/Nagin/Blanco is worse than we thought. Was he supposed to fix that?
To: crazyhorse691
"He blamed everyone in sight except, of course, himself. New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin. Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The "hysteric" news media. "My biggest mistake was not recognizing by Saturday that Louisiana was dysfunctional," Sounds about right to me. He was kind to LA and NOLA by limiting his accusations to simply 'Dysfunctional'. I would add incompetent, corrupt, leaderless and a host of other less flattering adjectives to describe the cesspool NOLA and LA were BEFORE Katrina.
NOLA a 'Cultural Treasure'? My A$$! Rebuild it? Nope - Not with Fed dollars in any event.

Shays spoke for the nation.
By mangling the "deer in the headlights" cliche? The more articulate members of "the nation" might object to that assumption, at the very least.
Even still, Brownie didn't really do a heckuva job.
To: crazyhorse691
He blamed everyone in sight except, of course, himself.Uh, he did blame himself as well. Liars.

That Shays guy really got my blood boiling for a bit. And then I realized he had to be grandstanding because anybody that rude would have been pulled into an alley years ago and have been kneecapped.

The piece is credited to 'aging editors'. I vote to change it to 'senile editors'. I am astounded to the lengths that people will go to blame the federal government for local officials' documented lack of will to act in the face of a looming natural disaster. Are these people brain dead? Hello?? Anybody home??

LA Gov Blanco nor NO Mayor Nagin (both dumb demoncRATS) understood their duties and responsibilities but heaven forbid, they should catch any blame because BUSH's FAULT mentality doesn't see that demoncRATS are to blame.
To: crazyhorse691
If I recall, Blanco and Nagin also blamed everyone but themselves, but the MSM have not criticized THEM for doing that.
