I listened to the "testimony" of federal hack Michael Brown yesterday, and I've come to one inescapable conclusion, this guy is a 100% complete asshole.
He started off by saying he didn't want to be pointing fingers at anyone, but that didn't last long. He spent the better part of six hours raking both Mayor Ray Nagin, and Governor Kathleen Blanco over the coals for their supposed ineptitude.
He called them all sorts of nasty names and insisted that he did all he could to bring about a better situation down in New Orleans. This is a load of crap!!!
While no one is completely blameless in this disaster, "Brownie" must take his share also. As Chris Shays said yesterday, he was "clueless" and had that deer in the headlights look about him. Clearly this task was simply overwhelming him, as it would have to anyone else who was in charge.
All Michael Brown was, was a political hack, put in a position of managing the biggest natural disaster in this country's history. Geroge Bush is responsible for putting this hack there in the first place, so he must take full responsibility for that.
Michael Brown was a total embarrassment to himself and the country yesterday. Blaming everyone but himself for this fiasco, made him look like the asshole he really is. Brown could have done himself a lot of good yesterday, but instead of standing up and taking his mistakes like a man, he blew it completely. Brown said he could sleep well at night because he did everything he could, however I wonder how well he could sleep when he was at least partly responsible for over 1000 deaths from this hurricane? I hope his conscience prays on him for the rest of his life.
