Brownie has overseen 150 Disasters in 2 years???

[Quixote1818]

"I've overseen over 150 presidentially declared disasters. I know what I'm doing, and I think I do a pretty darn good job of it," Brownie

What disasters were these??? Thats a disaster every five days? Is he talking about every time Bush has fallen off his Bike or choked on a pretzel?

[Pacifist Patriot]

1. Major disconnect with reality. Major.

[henslee]

2. What can Brown do for you?

[bahrbearian]

3. Lightning strikes.

[knowbody0]

4. it may have to do with horses

[Atman]

5. Those are the times he's shown up at his office.

[spanone]

6. This man is a lying POS. He's a perfect match for this administration.

[rodeodance]

8. not a lot really --tornadoes get included, floods etc etc

[Ioo]

25. Also, If it crosses a state line, it is 2 disasters.

If a blizzard comes in a snows in 10 states, that is 10 disasters, because each one requiers a state by state dec page

[pbartch]

29. Those are all DISASTERS that have taken place in his FANTASY WORLD

The man is a downright liar.

[karlrschneider]

7. Maybe he meant to say 2 disasters in 150 years...

:eyes:

[Richard Steele]

9. Maybe he is referring to FEMA employees?

This idiot can't keep his lies straight,
or even keep them BELIEVABLE.

Totally delusional crap from Browneye today;
I'm listening to the rerun and loving it!

[El Supremo]

10. He must be counting the time he was legal councilor.

Inflating his resume again.

What an ego. What an asshole.

[dhinojosa]

11. "OH GOD WE ARE OUT OF COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" nt

[kedrys]

13. "Cheez Whiz and toilet paper. Cheez Whiz and toilet paper."

"That's all we need, and we'll be just fine. Cheez Whiz and toilet paper."

What a f*cknozzle.

[jobycom]

12. Hey look, a pine cone fell on that BMW! It's owned by a friend of Cheney's

Declare a disaster area, buy a new car, a garage to put it in, a house to go with the garage, and a yacht to relieve the emotional stress.

Next disaster.

14. Today's donut day, and nobody brought donuts!

To the Brownie-Mobile! AWAAAAAY!

[GrumpyGreg]

15. 150 disasters =150 Repukes!

[driver8]

16. Is he talking about everytime that shrubby goes out on his bike??

I didn't know FEMA had to be alerted for that.

[Lars39]

17. Didn't they just turn down a tornado-damaged area in WI?

What in the heck is the criteria for qualifying now?

[onenote]

18. actually, for every natural disaster, FEMA created 4 more

so its really only 30 disasters...

onenote

[Quixote1818]

19. Perhaps he was in charge of Policy before being put in charge of FEMA?

He mean to say:
"I've overseen over 150 presidentially CREATED disasters. I know what I'm doing, and I think I do a pretty darn good job of it,"

[political_invader]

20. We had lot of Fires and floods here in California

I'm sure each one individually will count for that number

[political_invader]

23. Here is a link to FEMA disasters

http://www.fema.gov/news/disasters.fema

[AirAmFan]

31. Thanks for that link! Total for the most recent two-calendar year period is 124,

according to a page two levels down, at http://www.fema.gov/library/dis_graph.shtm :

"2003 56
2004 68"

So Brownie's exaggeration is at most 17 percent, using official counts of presidential major disaster declarations.

This high count shows how disaster declarations evidently have been politicized since Jeb Bush became the pResident's brother. Annual counts on this page are listed back to 1983 (FEMA came into existence in 1979).

During previous administrations, the annual count went down as well as up. Here's one area where Dubya has given us continuous dramatic growth! Disaster declarations evidently provide a deep-pocketed political slush fund for a "Southern Strategy".

[Igel]

21. If it's not 150, it's close.

But it doesn't mean what people think it means.

Here are the lists:

Enjoy. My favorite was Typhoon Sudal.

[Frustratedlady]

22. Well, He's One....

I may be all wet, but my take on this Brown thing is that Bushco suddenly realized they really were in deep doodoo and had better start working their way out of this mire they are in. They put Brown back on the payroll to be their potshot target, and had him spend some time with Rove, weaving a story that they thought the public would buy to get GW out of trouble on Katrina.

It appears to me that Rove has lost his touch. Everywhere I went today, I heard "Brown...Brown...Brown" and not in very kind tones, I might add. People are hot and they are demanding answers from Bushco regarding Brown/FEMA, Homeland, Haliburton, KBR, et al. Where's this money going...whose pockets?

So many people out of work and they are hiring directors that don't have a clue. Nope! The people are sick of it and they aren't gonna take it any more. That's my feel and I think it's time to get the ball rolling on cleaning up the place.

[Quixote1818]

24. The fact that he was suddenly back on pay role is a dead give away

Anyone with half a brain can figure out that this whole thing was orchestrated by Rove to deflect blame. It's the Blame Game part two!

[illflem]

26. I prefer to call him Drownie

[Neshanic]

27. Well there was that particulary nasty fender bender in Gallup.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. well, yeah. how often do you shave?

he actually saw 150 disasters in the making in about half a year, but he did not want to brag.

[zulchzulu]

30. Presidentially declared disasters may include him drinkin' wit' Chimpy

You can bet Chimpy and Brownie on a bender would reap MANY disasters...I think that's what he was talking about.
