This is the kind of stuff that passes for news at AP. Pathetic. Somebody's e-mail quips. A new low even for AP.
The character assassination continues. These supposed emails are released by a RAT congressman and published in the MSM. How do we know they're even real? Remember the CBS forgeries? And anyway, why isn't this Congressman being investigated by the ethics committee for releasing private emails?
Mike Brown had President Bush's confidence, and like he said, did a great job. FEMA did NOT fail during Katrina. Don't believe the MSM lies.
The Left are like vulchers. . .
Didn't Bill Clinton get a blowjob during a phone call about Bosnia?
This a good reminder to us to remember when you send an email or post to FR: "what would my mother say if she read this" and "how would my worst enemy use this against me?"
Meanwhile, Gov. Blanco sat on her thumb and actively prevented FEMA from entering her state to help.
Where are those stories?
This is the best they can come up with?
Still... The emails seem pretty vain. I don't know if I'd be in a mood to joke around if I was in charge during that period. The emails may seem private, but when you are at work, especially the government, they are the property of your employer. I have a hard time sticking up for this guy although one could put it into the context of him getting ready to quit, he would have faired much better had he kicked ass as his final effort in office.

You know, this would be an excellent time to abolish FEMA, don't you think? It raises unreasonable expectations, and as we saw under clinton it is potentially very dangerous.
A federal bureaucracy that sits there doing nothing for a year and then is expected to go into action for a couple of weeks is a surefire recipe for bureaucratic failure. We have the National Guard. We have police, firemen, and medical personnel who can be loaned from neighboring communities. Why do we need FEMA?
Does the term "Metrosexual" apply here?
