Brownie: "So I guess you expect me to be some kind of SUPERHERO...
...that's suddenly going to step in there and lift everyone out of New Orleans!"

He's getting REALLY belligerent.

By the way, the RESPONSE to that smart-ass remark was "NO...I expect you to do your JOB."

11. He is on the payroll so he doesn't squeal. I am sure he was promised
a good job at Carlysle or some other co. when the hearing blow over and his tenure is finished.

12. If he does a good job taking his lumps today
He'll get his reward from some subsidiary of the Carlyle Group. It's only the people who don't perform well during their audition who have to go out and get a real job. The guys who take their pounding with a smile or a sneer of contempt get the six-figure sinecure.

5. What an arrogant prick!
As I sit here waiting to go to my doctor's appointment, I am sitting here dumbfounded at not only his lack of answers, but his condescending arrogant and belligerant attitude!

I am fucking livid!

20. Half-assed lawyer training
May as well have been correspondence degree. then again, I never saw more incompetence and lack of preparedness than when I worked in one of the big NY law firms, and all the lawyers there were from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, NYU, Georgetown, etc. The first-years were, for the most part, imbeciles. Harvard Law, $135,000 a year, $30,000 bonus imbeciles. Shocking, really.

But hey, maybe I'm the imbecile for not figuring out that you could make a lot of money by being stupid just by getting into Harvard Law...

13. Standard floating turd defense: "I don't actually DO anything; I manage."
What this fellow comprehends about management and coordination wouldn't fill a child's thimble. In at least SIX consecutive responses, he defined "coordination" as talking to either the governor or mayor. Not once, not a single time, did he give an example of where the actions of any other entity (other state, locality, or organization) were arranged to compliment or supplement any action he 'urged' of the governor or mayor. Not once.

According to Brown, he gets paid the "big bucks" for doing absolutely nothing more than anyone in the peanut gallery might do. According to his "definition," he's merely a spectator and commentator - doing less than any journalist or reporter! He's the most clueless freaking moran it's ever been my displeasure to hear testify before an Congressional committee.

14. He's being asked about why Orleans Parish was excluded from the Gov's
Emergency declaration. Was it excluded? I remember seeing a copy of the request from Gov. Blanco. I am so confused and so is Rep. Buyer and Brown. What is the truth here? Wasn't there a mention of all areas in the path of the storm PLUS the other specific parishes?

"The individual who was supposed to be in charge of LA Homeland Security is under indictment?" Rep. Buyer.

:wtf:

How can he do a job that he isn't the least bit qualified to do?

A subpoena would have been cheaper for the taxpayer.

23. Sufferin' cronyism. The GOP sure gets surly when someone tries to hold
them accountable. "How dare you expect anything from me except self-interested greed!!! I bought this position fair and square! I don't have to explain myself, I'm the president!" Oops.
