If Brown were a Clinton administration official, somehow I think all this a-s-covering for him by freepers wouldn't be happening.
Bingo. But he was a Republican nominee so by default he can do no wrong. He apparently can't turn on a television either. Comforting to think that most of the American public knew about the dire straits in NO perhaps days before the director of FEMA isn't it?
""It's not Browns fault!""
"If Brown were a Clinton administration official, somehow I think all this a-s-covering for him by freepers wouldn't be happening."
This disaster is horrific in scope and time - it caused several cops to committ suicide and others to flea. And these guys have been around - they are not in one of the easiest crime areas.
Not every person is up to the challenge - Chertoff and Brown certainly are in this group.
Worth repeating. Some Freepers think this is a "Republican Party Right or Wrong" site, when it's supposed to be a conservative site. Yet you've got purported conservatives breathlessly defending the ineptitude of an unqualified bureacrat who failed to position his bloated federal agency so it could actually perform its mission. Meanwhile, the power of the images becomes the story of New Orleans: poor, black, and powerless people desperate for water; a seven-year old with her throat slit by a thug; FEMA stopping trucks filled with food and water.
It's a political disaster for Bush, but the ardent defenders of FEMA and Brown are playing right into the hands of the Bush-hating Left.
Bush should fire "Brownie" today, and he should fire Chertoff tomorrow. He should show America that personal responsibility is a Republican Party value. Then he should nominate Janice Rogers Brown for Sandy O'Connor's seat, and put the Left on the defensive again.
