"Heck of A Job" Brownie Says: Bush Is Cheerleader With Poor English Skills
Michael Brown Reveals All in a Playboy Interview

· On Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), accusing him in a hearing of not comprehending the devastation: “For that little twerp to claim I didn’t understand death and suffering — he can just bite me, for all I care.”

· On President Bush saying the levee breaches were unexpected: “He doesn’t have an incredible command of the English language.”

· On DHS boss Michael Chertoff ordering him out of the field: “I am so mad at myself for not saying ’screw you.’ ”

· On Bush calling him “Brownie”: “It’s typical of the president. He’s a cheerleader . . . How many people in the world do you think have ever called me Brownie? . . . When he used that nickname, a lot of people in the media went, Is he an insider?”

· On his much-mocked prior job with the International Arabian Horse Association: “Dealing with horses’ asses taught me how to deal with the federal government.”

1. Chomp that hand when it no longer feeds you
Reminds me of the guy who slunk out of the tavern to the hoots and derision of the other patrons last night who woulda-could-shoulda kicked everybody's ass when he's talking about it the next morning.

Give it up, Mr. Brown. You're a national joke. Take your place between Dan "Mr. Potatoe-Head" Quayle and Bob "Boner in a Bottle" Dole.

2. Brownie
Early on realized that bushito and his minions did not give a shit about him. He has been saying these things soon after he met with congress the first time. He knew he was in overhead.

3. My, my, my
Don't we have our panties in a wad? I would suggest that brownie not fuck with my Congressman Gene Taylor, who continues to do a great job for Hurricane Katrina Victims while brownie licks his wounds.

A nailed republican, whining about his plight in life. A beautiful sight indeed. No doubt Congressman Taylor is happy for the publicity.

4. Concur. In fairness, though, "Brownie" knew he was in way over
his head at FEMA and was planning to resign days before Katrina. He also had scars from turf battles with DHS heads Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge. Plus, his "buddy-buddy" Joe Allbaugh all but abandoned ship on him.

While he's still a schmuck (IMHO), I don't blame him for taking money from Playboy this turn.
He does have to earn a living, you know.

:evilgrin:

7. That would make him a typical bush appointee??
Way over his head!! I saw on your profile you are a Parrothead. Ever been down to New Orleans? There are at least two good Parrothead bars in the quarter. Margaritaville of course on Decatur and the Tropical Isle on Bourbon (my favorite bar in the quarter.) Its still a great place to party.

8. Yep.
For most of them, ignorant, arrogant, and proud of it.
