"Brownie is to Katrina what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq"
Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, said in a speech at Brown University that Michael D. Brown, who quit under fire as the Federal Emergency Management Agency's director, exemplified the administration's failures over the past five years.

This would make a great song for rappers or someone --

"Using the nickname Bush used for Brown,

Kerry said,
"Brownie is to Katrina what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq,
what George Tenet is to slam-dunk intelligence,
what Paul Wolfowitz is to parades paved with flowers in Baghdad, what Dick Cheney is to visionary energy policy,
what Donald Rumsfeld is to basic war planning,
what Tom DeLay is to ethics and
what George Bush is to 'Mission Accomplished' and
'Wanted Dead or Alive.' "

6. No,no,no, you can't just post something like that after I just said not to
He had the money to run attack exposing what Bush has said and done but he did'nt. He should've spoken to people in plain commonfolk English instead of deliberitive Senatorial lexicon, but he didn't.

7. Sure I can
And then I can dance a jig and declare myself pope. :P

It's a combination of friendly irony and just not having the energy to have this argument.

3. Brownie is to disaster relief what John Bolton is to diplomacy
I like that anology better.

5. Kerry's analogies are fun even if they serve as a sad commentary
of the current administration.
