AP wire: Brown doesn't know why he was removed

[iconoclastic cat]

Some humor in these grim times:

Brown doesn't know why he was removed

WASHINGTON - A beleaguered Michael Brown said Friday he doesn't know why he was removed from his onsite command of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, but he does know the first thing he'll do when he returns to Washington.

"I'm going to go home and walk my dog and hug my wife, and maybe get a good Mexican meal and a stiff margarita and a full night's sleep," Brown told The Associated Press. "And then I'm going to go right back to FEMA and continue to do all I can to help these victims."
(snip)
Asked if he was being made a scapegoat, Brown said, "By the press, yes. By the president, no."

He heatedly denied suggestions by some news organizations that he had padded his resume, answering some charges point by point...

Uh, Brownie...Happy Bunny is very concerned:


BTW, I'd love to see him let loose on Bushco.

[skooooo]

1. Brownie snorted too much white powder back in the 80s, evidentally

[SammyBlue]

12. Being a douchebag is grounds enough for me.

[Ediacara]

2. Something tells me Chertoff fired/recalled him without WH aproval

[MaineDem]

5. I think Cheney removed him (nt)

[wakeme2008]

6. Dickie did it

It was reported Dickie was not happy after a lot of his friends in Miss. talked to him about the FEMA FUs.

[Ediacara]

15. Not entirely what I meant

I have a feeling, that despite pressure from Cheney, Chertoff did this all on his own, in an attempt to look like he was taking charge. I doubt Brown would have been demoted, even with fire coming out of Cheney's mouth.

3. What next? "Brownie has an IQ of 55"????

[etherealtruth]

10. Probably ...

... that's, at least, a reasonable explanation for him not recognizing how "F'ed" up FEMA's response (accurately lack of response) was.

[Mass]

4. Did he not listen to Cherkoff?

He spinned that wonderfully. The urgent crisis is finished, they need Brown to supervise all the project now in case there is another disaster. That's certainly spin at its best.

You mean the guy is not smart enough to repeat a talking point?

[etherealtruth]

11. "not smart enough to repeat a talking point"

I think that's the implication.

[MindPilot]

7. The major problem with someone who is stupid...

is they are not aware that they are. Stupid.

[tjdee]

8. Holy moly, how much do I LOVE Happy Bunny!!

Here's another one that's good for Brown and the rest of BushCo:

9. But, but, he was doing a heck of a job.

That's what Moran in chief told him.

[tridim]

13. Oblivious, in denial and dangerous

Just like his boss.

[mtnester]

14. Dain Bramage fer gawds sake

you cannot be that dense without some type of brain damage.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. I have some sugestions but hey

if he is that fucking stupid he needs to spend more time wiht the family

[TahitiNut]

17. He NEVER seems to know.

You'd think with all the experience of being fired for incompetence he'd have a clue by now. :eyes:

[VOX]

18. Probably not altogether sure why he was hired, either. n/t

[NYC Liberal]

19. Is that what Bush will say as he's being hauled off to the Hague?

[gkhouston]

20. hey, if he watches TV for a while

maybe one of the reporters will clue him in. :7

[bleever]

21. Here's a hint: floating corpses.

Here's another: follow the carnage.

[bluedawg12]

22. Brownie didn't know why he was at FEMA.

Talk about pride and denial. Only an incompetent would play dumb like this.

How many freaking states have had to send police and firemen down here to gain control of the city? Is that a clue to the magnitude of this national emergency that he mis-handled?

Two words: Super...dome.

[Booster]

23. Does Brownie even know we had a hurricane?

[melnjones]

26. lol nt

[The Witch]

24. LOCK UP YOUR DOGS!

I have it on good authority Brownie doesn't leash his....

[stepnw1f]

25. Bush Will Be Saying the Same Thing

It could not happen sooner.

[Pithy Cherub]

27. Great while he's drunk on margaritas Brownie will manage Florida's

next hurricane or the the eventual next natural disaster. So reassuring :eyes:.

BREAKING NEWS: Irony has been cleared of all charges in the bush administration. Irony is free to report the news and still be missed by bushbots...

[leeroysphitz]

28. He wouldn't, would he? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

29. The official story is that he's needed back in DC.

In case, you know, there's an emergency. :puke:

[bleever]

31. Important paper clips to be sorted, no doubt.

:hi:

[linazelle]

30. BUSH made a deal..."Brownie you take the heat on this and

we'll take care of ya' later on. Heh heh...<pats Brownie on back>"

The only question is how long it will take Brownie to reappear. Maybe BUSH will get him a job with the Carlyle Group. Or Cheney will help him out at Halliburton. Fucking sycophant.

[bluedawg12]

32. Because people and animals have died and suffering?

Maybe he didn't know about Katrina either??

Dumd f-wad.

[Twist_U_Up]

33. malloy just reported hes headed....

to washington to oversee Ophelia the hurricane thats been brewing according to chertoff

He doesnt know why he leaving but other people are stating they know what his agenda is ? :shrug:
