So Much for "Yer Doin' a Heck of a Job, Brownie"

[Wayne_Zitkus]

An e-mail surfaced recently that shows how shallow, self-centered, and deceitful George W. Bush is. Publicly, he was saying that Michael Brown was "doin' a heck of a job" after Katrina - privately, Bush was happy that he had Brown there to take the fall.

Yet another reason why I have absolutely no respect whasoever for that squatter in the White House - not as a leader, not as a father, and not as a human being. He's beneath contempt, IMHO.

Brown: E-mail shows Bush glad FEMA took Katrina flak

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The former emergency management chief who quit amid widespread criticism over his handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina said he received an e-mail before his resignation stating President Bush was glad to see the Oval Office had dodged most of the criticism.

Michael Brown, former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Friday that he received the e-mail five days before his resignation from a high-level White House official whom he declined to identify.

The e-mail stated that Bush was relieved that Brown -- and not Bush or Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff -- was bearing the brunt of the flak over the government's handling of Katrina.

The September 2005 e-mail reads: "I did hear of one reference to you, at the Cabinet meeting yesterday. I wasn't there, but I heard someone commented that the press was sure beating up on Mike Brown, to which the president replied, 'I'd rather they beat up on him than me or Chertoff.' "

It's a good thing he's a morally bankrupt asshole, then. This might hurt his feelings otherwise.

Yup, he is a spineless wonder, isn't he?

Turning on your own kind...this is a sign that their house of cards is crumbling, right? I mean, when a group starts infighting and betraying each other, it is a sign that they are about to implode, right? *wishful thinking*

It's only wishful thinking because the Democrats can get their act together. Until they stand up and show that they have the plan and the will to lead again, they are just giving support to the Republicans.
