Jeb Bush's campaign on Tuesday put out a video highlighting his hurricane response record as governor of Florida as the nation marks the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

But at one point, the campaign spot features Bush standing next to then-Federal Emergency Management Agency head Michael Brown, one of the most infamous figures of the George W. Bush administration's widely criticized response to the disaster.

Another amateur mistake that a competent staff would have easily found and corrected.

This guy has no interest in being president....it shows up in one hundred different ways every week. I don’t know if it’s conscious on his part, but too many mishaps to be random IMO.

The guy only steals bottles of Heineken beer — he does know what good beer should taste like. I expected him to haul away six packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon or Bud Light

“the media succeded in blaming a hurricane on a president.”

Well they were wrong.... Cheney got bored and was playing around with his Halliburton weather machine.
