Fiasco uncovers Bush administration as fool’s paradise

It is said that if someone thinks you’re a fool, better to keep your mouth shut than open it and remove all doubt. Speaking of Michael Brown...

The ex-FEMA chief testified on Capitol Hill last week about what went wrong with the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Even House Republicans shook their heads in disbelief.

GOP Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut was beside himself when Brown announced, “I am not a superhero.” Brown also pleaded for guidance and asked, “What would you have me do?” This was truly strange.

Brown first was relieved of his FEMA responsibilities in the disaster zone. He said then that he looked forward to going home and having a margarita. Then, under pressure, he resigned. As Brown drowned his sorrows in tequila, Katrina victims were drowning in the flooded cities of the Gulf Coast.

The hearings were as close to the woodshed as Brown had been since President Bush praised his Katrina work with, “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.” Another “Mission Accomplished”?

1. Brown, the lazy SOB, knew he knew shit about the position. Ya would think

he would ask for a Manual, a primer, something to bring him up to speed... and read the fuckin thing....had he done so....he would still be there in charge. He had a chance to be the Hero but turned out a ZERO
