Brownie CNN quick poll is fun-eee

Ok, so I rarely post diaries on here and generally not about something this fluffy, but the current CNN quick poll is just funny as all hell.  The question is:  Is former FEMA boss Mike Brown being made a scapegoat for the sluggish response to Katrina?

Your choices are:

1.  Yes, he's being made a scapegoat,
   
2.  Yes, but he deserves much of the blame, or
   
3.  No, he's just whining.

www.cnn.com

In other words, your choices are:

a.  The administration sucks,
b.  The administration and Brownie both suck, or
c.  The adminstration sucks, Brownie really sucks, AND Brownie is a big whiner.

Notice what's missing... "your doin' a heckuva job Brownie" In other words, any choice they let you make basically is "this administration sucks". "Katrinia response is a disaster" is the unshaking conventional wisdom.

  •  That's the one I chose.

    I mean the guy was utterly incompetent and completely unqualified for the position.  he should have known he couldn't handle it and not taken the job to begin with.

    But he took the job and I think there were several opportunities for him to do something and he was busy trying to find designer shirts and get a good dinner in.  I think he has been blamed for the problems and he does deserve a lot of the INITIAL blame but things haven't improved much (funny how people have forgotton that Rove was put in charge of reconstruction efforts for New Orleans.  Kind of like how people forgot Rice was put in charge of Iraq after Bremmer left) and that blame falls squarly on the administration.

    •  "I succeeded"

      The guy is so incompetent, he doesn't KNOW he's incompetent.  However, that is NO EXCUSE for the administration.  (1) They hired him and (2) they kept him when they knew he was not performing, so (3) they had no real concern for the victims.

•  Nice change.

  Usually the choices on those CNN polls are:

  1. Bush rules!
     
  2. Bush and the Republican Party rules!
     
  3. Bush is God.

  •  I prefer Colbert's version

    George W. Bush: great President, or the greatest?

    After the guest picks his or her jaw off the floor and stammers "neither," Colbert says, "Okay, I'll put you down for 'great.'"

  •  Are you the

     Nathan that I've met in the Brainerd and Ironton (where you can look down the main drag and see the new biodiesel plant) area? If so hiya, howyadoin'? Oh yeah, it's hard to tell where the heck CNN is coming from on any given day, hour, issue or what have you. Spin on, spin off, spin out...

    •  don't think so...

      Actually, I've never been to Brainard and I'm not sure where Irontown is, so I'm pretty sure that's not me.  I used to live in Winona and Rochester, so I've been around there, but never in the northland.

      •  My mistake...

        I'll have to find out the screen name for the Nathan I've met. Keep up the GOOD work!
