Saturday, February 11, 2006

AP - Former federal disaster chief Michael Brown, the face of the government's listless response to Hurricane Katrina, said Friday he told top Bush officials the day the storm howled ashore of massive flooding in New Orleans and warned "we were realizing our worst nightmare." [Yahoo News]

NOW you'r doing a heck of a job Brownie.

NOW you're doing a heck of a job Brownie.

Republicans eating their own. I especially enjoyed the thought by Sen Bennett of Utah that the Federal response was delayed because Brown notified the White House instead of the other crony appointee, Chertoff.

Ted,

I think he might be on to something there. Given the Bush doesn't see himself as in charge of anything - and still just the cheerleader he was back in his skool daze, likely telling the White House anything is meaningless in terms of immediacy.

etc.

Well, after all, Bush had a vacation to finish and a guitar to play. Priorities.
Someone on another thread was talking about worthless and do-nothing bureaucrats, I immediately thought of George. He's not responsible for anything, he's never made a mistake, nothing's ever his fault.

More of the left's blatant and non stop H word.

After folks like me on this side stated he was done the left was literally foaming at the mouth with glee.

And when he was caught on email more worried about how he looked the left was hysterical.

Now the h word has turned to hero for the left. And more hypocrisy for the left.

Brownie might do well in chocolate city with his friend in screwups, Nagin.

Bring Blanco down and she can be Praline.

Nice,
Weak Try; "Weak And UnReadable Brandywine !!"

It Was The Administrations Fault Period Your Horse Trader Boy Squealed And Told On The Boss !!!

Stop Trying To Blame The Victim Buddy !!!!

The Hurricane Pam Exercises Clearly Proved And Stated That The Local First Responders Would Be Overwhelmed And Become Victims Of The Disaster !!!

So Please Go Read The Report !!!!

How many times does the Chimp have to fail before he gets impeached?

Our country has lost so much during his watch for his friends and donors.

I suppose there'll always be a handful of deadenders that will never see the light of day. But how did so many of them end up on this site?

All Please Read !!!

Soon after taking office, FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh directed the agency to evaluate potential catastrophic disasters - events that are low probability yet have high consequences. ... . "Catastrophic disasters are best defined in that they totally outstrip local and state resources, which is why the federal government needs to play a role," Allbaugh said. "There are a half-dozen or so contingencies around the nation that cause me great concern, and one of them is right there (in New Orleans)."

"Catastrophic disasters are best defined in that they totally outstrip local and state resources"

Nice You Read That!? So Stop Lying For Your King !!!!!

You Blame The Victim, That Is Sorry !!!

Oh And Those Buse Please Read!!!

The total number of busses in all of New Orleans would provide only a fraction of the capacity needed to transport all of these people.

Louisiana emergency management officials planned to use any available alternative means of transportation, including National Guard vehicles. They also planned to open local shelters and refuges of last resort for those not able to evacuate.

I don't know why righties expected Bush to be able to competently manage National disasters (including his administration!) like Katrina, or the self-imposed disaster that is Bush's War.

I mean, he has no experience at all.

Dick "Fuck You, Halliburton Rules!" Cheney runs the country. Everyone knows that, even leading conservatives.

GW is a silver-spoon suit, who wasted every dollar the bin Laden family gave him in failed Texas oil scams.

He got to be a baseball owner by fronting the building of a baseball stadium with public funds. He was elected to the weakest Govenorship in the country by evangelicals, high on Rovian kool-aide, and led Texas to the worst education record and most executions in the nation.

GW never competently managed anything in his life, including your's and your grandchildren's money and national security.

N'evil, you have just disqualified yourself from all future consideration. Personna non grata in the extreme, the stink of your putrid soul can no longer be tolerated. You are busted and booked for racist and unchristian remarks.

I was bored with this whole website and was no longer going to comment, but you have awakened my righteous anger; my mission will be to show the world of Drudge what a racist, worthless piece of crud you are.

You've sunk to the bottom of the barrel.

More importantly in all this debate is if we had another cat. 4 storm in NO this up coming summer, what have they done to correct the problems they faced in the past.

We have heard and read nothing. Are we unable to learn from our past failures?

Marry one. It's easier.

P.S. Sagmain? You have an army at your disposal. Lead on. I can't think of a more ethical and moral crusade than to expose this faux christian for the racist, bigoted, hypocritical, self-loathing, P.O.S. he is.

We have heard and read nothing. Are we unable to learn from our past failures?

The recent findings from the investigation into the fumbled Katrina disaster will probably answer that Crassus. They say that we learned nothing from 9/11 about homeland security and emergency response. That was four years ago. We're likely going to be treated to a reply this summer is my guess.

"this faux christian for the racist, bigoted, hypocritical, self-loathing, P.O.S. he is."

And what's worse, those are Nubsy's good points!

"...my mission will be to show the world of Drudge what a racist, worthless piece of crud you are."

Like anyone here thinks otherwise....

Or should I say, anyone with a brain.

TPS,

So we as a nation have to wait another year before we begin to plan on how to fix what happened.

My point is that if we have one this summer it will turn out the same.

This is sadly what our country has turned into, and there is a huge support for the leader of ours to do nothing.

It is like a leaking ship and the captain and crew are in the wheel house arguing about Bail buckets or who made the ship leak. Sad state of affairs.

"this faux christian for the racist, bigoted, hypocritical, self-loathing, P.O.S. he is."

Billy Boy, it must give you chills that Faux is the most popular news on cable. The big three, Clinton News Network, NPR, Err Amerika, MSNBC... all suck equally, people can only be spoon feed the party line for so long son.

BTW, you Good Doctor does not practice any religion. Go to the mother ship to figure out a name for me.

That's easy. Uncle Tomahawk. You stinking sell out.

I will now step out of the way so's you can perform your hissy fit.

P.S. Sagmain? You have an army at your disposal. Lead on. I can't think of a more ethical and moral crusade than to expose this faux christian for the racist, bigoted, hypocritical, self-loathing, P.O.S. he is.

Yeah, just look at all the backup I got when I exposed 101Chickenshit as a faker.

It's still the case that, regardless of what time of day or night Brown communicated his concerns to the White House, there was one and only one FEMA man in New Orleans from the day before the storm until two days after, and that there was no organized evacuation plan and no organized food plan and no organized water plan and no organized medical plan, and moreover that Brown did not trouble himself to contact his own boss, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.

It's doubtlessly entirely correct that FEMA's subsumption into Homeland Security dealt a blow to an outfit once reputed to be operationally competent, and Congress should probably consider separating FEMA out once again. It is also to be suggested that never again should any political hack so extravagantly unqualified as Michael Brown be appointed head of so critical an agency as this one. Whatever time of day or night he called the White House is really immaterial, for it's clear that Bush lost the Battle of New Orleans the day he put Brownie in charge of FEMA.

There is alot of blame to go around, not just for the administration. New Orleans didnt exactly have the best local leadership either. Couple that with the welfare state that existed before the hurricane, and you get a mixture for disaster.

nice repeats:It is also to be suggested that never again should any political hack so extravagantly unqualified as Michael Brown be appointed head of so critical an agency as this one. Whatever time of day or night he called the White House is really immaterial, for it's clear that Bush lost the Battle of New Orleans the day he put Brownie in charge of FEMA.

Ahhhh, the self-retorting retort. And who appointed Brown and Chertoff? Is it the role of the POTUS to surround himself with such incompetents so that they may be the scapegoats for his own failings?

Here is the real deal! Dubya is not at fault for Katrina, But His lack of leadership is. Talk about unplugged! He waited days before going to The Gulf Coast and then it was aboard Airforce One! He had the pilot decend to about "5000FT" and "tilt the plane" so that he could see. What a looser. Then when the press had a field day with the story this dumb ass rolls into town and grabs the first minority, woman he can find and puts his arm around her! I dont want to come across as arrogant but I live close to New Orleans and work in the area. The local news covered the shelters around here and Im telling you when Bush showed up at the shelters it was not pretty. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!!!! Hey Niceville, try to find somthing that you are good at because you SUCK at defending this jackass! Or let me guess, you would defend anyone that your IDOls Hannity and Limbaugh are paid sponsors of. You had better quit kneeling to that alter on the right of the AM dial!

"You had better quit kneeling to that alter on the right of the AM dial!"

Why??

It's made him the man he is today!

""" It is also to be suggested that never again should any political hack so extravagantly unqualified as Michael Brown be appointed head of so critical an agency as this one."""

Come on Nice, the truth, can you actually post that with a straight face....with George Dubya Bush in the White House. Hilarious.

They knew of course, they also knew they had nothings left in the kitty because of that damn war.

Bush doesnt give a shit. He is laughing at America all the way to the bank.

"It is also to be suggested that never again should any political hack so extravagantly unqualified as Michael Brown be appointed head of so critical an agency as this one. "

LOL! Why would anyone who isn't an incompetent political hack want to work for the King of All Incompetent Political Hacks now? His term is expiring and the destructiveness of his policies are starting to be realized by the larger public. Anyone with half a brain would know that if you jump on the Bushie bandwagon now, you're just going to end up a scapegoat. Only a mindless hack would be stupid enough to take a major post under Bush at this point.
