The Fox and HenHouse sound familiar?

[Avalux]

2. WHAT?????

How on earth can the man who fucked it up evaluate it? :crazy:
Nothing surprised me anymore though - in fact, I expect this sort of shit to happen.

[Mend]

3. Classic Karl Rove....rub the shit in your face til you cry eom

[Eugene]

4. What a surprise ...NOT!

They had me going for a while. I actually believed that
BushCo would finally let someone go for screwing up.
My faith in them is restored!

But seriously, as BushCo sees it, Brown really did do
a heck of a job of turning FEMA into a cash cow
for Repug connected contractors.
Brown knows where the the bodies are buried.
They need to keep him in the fold.

Brownie should be indicted, not hired as a consultant or whatever!

[Kool Kitty]

7. Every time I think these assholes can't surprise me anymore,

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

14. They are...

...in fact daring us. They don't think we have it in us to do much more than the occasional weekend gathering of a quarter million or so people. They know MSM will always ignore it. They're not worried.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

11. Perfect

...rehired by the agency as a consultant to evaluate it's response following Hurricane Katrina...

This is such a FUCK YOU from Bushco to the whole nation. You don't pull shit like this unless you believe you're absolutely unassailable. They clearly do believe it. The question is: are they right?

[Nikki Stone 1]

12. It's like Molly Ivins said: The "nyah-nyah" President

23. Caught this earlier!

GWB: Ok, Brownie. You gotta take the fall on this one.

Brownie: Well, why should I - you owe me...

GWB: Don't worry Brownie, I've got a better plan for ya and it pays. Oh yeah, pays big-time; way better hours & you can cash it in on the sly.

Brownie: Will I have to use the back-door like Jeffy?

NOTE: Of course I'm being purely hypothetical :)

[kster]

24. Is there a bigger picture we are missing here?

Rove running reconstrution, Brown evaluating what he himself did wrong. Could it be that * is having trouble getting credible people to work with him, just wondering out loud.

[political_invader]

Things That Make No Sense, Except When They Do

Wuuuuuuh?

Brown told congressional investigators Monday that he is being paid as a consultant to help FEMA assess what went wrong in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, according to a senior official familiar with the meeting.

On Saturday, Jane wrote:

And now I will leave you to guess where this bit of gossip came from, because I promised not to tell. But one of the above-mentioned folks called me this afternoon to say that according to sources within the Enquirer itself, the source for Bush's drinking story is -- an incredibly pissed-off, recently scapegoated head of a federal agency who thinks that BushCo. done him wrong.

30. WHOA! KICK KICK KICK!!!!

I predict Brownie will off himself with 12 surprisingly accurate shots to the back of his own head. Any day now.
