“Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.”
That’s a phrase that has haunted Republicans for years. President George W. Bush naïvely praised his Federal Emergency Management Agency director, Michael Brown, as the federal response to Hurricane Katrina began.
Days later, more than 1,000 Americans had lost their lives in the flooding. Brown lost his job because of the Bush Administration’s botched response to the emergency.(Snip)Brown has reemerged as the most prominent organizer of a presidential campaign committee. (Snip) called “43 Alumni for Biden.” (Snip)
Does anyone want to know what sort of Republican intends to vote for Biden in November? There you have it.

Brownie looked like a deer in the headlights when he was in NOLA. If he heads any committee now, it will be a disaster. (Maybe not such a bad thing)
And re the Bushes: is it about the money, the power, the world view? What is with them and globalism?

The Left used Katrina to attack GWB by portraying FEMA as a "first responder" organization. FEMA is and always was an organization to manage the aftermath of emergencies, not to rush in at the onsent to save lives. That job is for the local and state law enforcement agencies, the fire departments, emergency medical techicians, National Guard troops mobilized by the governor, the Red Cross, health care providers, et al.
Three days before Katrina struck, GWB offered federal troops to help the Democrat governor prepare. GWB repeatedly urged the governor to order the evacuation of NOLA. The governor figuratively spat in GWB's face. When the Schiff hit the fan, NOLA's police abandoned their posts, the unmarried fathers of the children of NOLA went on looting sprees rather than protecting their children and their mothers, and CNN et al. broadcast lurid tales of cannibalism in the Super Dome.
Let's just stop repeating the Left's lies, shall we?

RINO's and 'Never Trumpers' can call themselves whatever they want, but like zebras, if the stripes are there, they are still zebras. Same story, different book!

Anybody with anything on the ball wants to stay as far away from the Biden campaign as humanly possible so I have my doubts about whether Brownie is human.

Michael Brown was terrible at FEMA. Then he goes and robs a store in Ferguson, MO. Cops fixed his wagon, though. Heck of a job, Wilsonie!

Once again, Trump is acting as a veritable mine detector, causing these human mines, who might lay there in some administrative job, disguised as a Republican until some day they just blow up and harm our rights.
Now we know who they are, and can put them on a list of people to NEVER, EVER include in any real Republican administration again.
How cool is that?!

I STRONGLY DISAGREE with the writer's statement "Bush Administration’s botched response to the emergency".
The small, adjoining Mississippi coastal towns of Waveland and Bay Saint Louis were 'Ground Zero' for Katrina.
There is the Gulf of Mexico, the towns of Bay Saint Louis and Waveland, then there is the actual Bay, the body of water, which is a couple of miles wide.
I live on the north shore of of the Bay, about 200 yards from the water's edge. My home was under the storm's Northeast Quadrant -the strongest part- for about 4 hours. We had water 14-feet deep in the yard. (The storm surge height was about 26-feet above sea level).
We had over 200 houses in my immediate neighborhood wiped away..... nothing left but a slab and a pile of debris scattered out through the woods. The storm surge wiped out everything on the gulf coast from New Orleans on the west, to around Mobile, AL on the east.
Away from the immediate storm surge, the electrical power was out all the way up to Jackson, MS, about 3 hours drive to the north.
In Mississippi, the hardest hit area, the response to the storm was MAGNIFICENT!
We evacuated for the storm, coming back 2 days later. The area had already been searched for injured or dead people. There was an ARMY of Power Company trucks, with crews working to REPLACE (in my neighborhood, the utility poles were either pulled out of the ground or broken off) the electrical grid. Within another 2 days there was a FLOOD of SUPPLIES coming in. Water, MRE's, medical supplies, clothes.... you name it! Our house was one of about 3 houses that were at least partly habitable (my highest floor was above the flood height). We 'camped out' in our heavily damaged house and started the long process of cleaning up and repairing.
In Mississippi, the State government COOPERATED with the Federal government, local governments, and a myriad of private and Church groups.
In Louisiana, the Democrat Governor Blanco BLOCKED the Federal government from helping.
I repeat.
In Louisiana, the Democrat Governor Blanco BLOCKED the Federal government from helping.
The State and New Orleans city governments treated the hurricane as a 'Law Enforcement' event.
The New Orleans City government also blocked the inland Louisiana sportsmen and fishermen (later to be dubbed the 'Cajun Navy' for their response to the flooding in Houston) who hitched up their boats and -on their 'own dime'- went to the flooded, below-sea-level city to help rescue people trapped in their flooded houses.
That's right..... the State and City officials, Democrats all, let their people ROT -trapped in the broiling sun on the roofs of their flooded houses, no food, no water, no shade- in order to help push the Democrat and Media POLITICAL NARRATIVE that "Bush BOTCHED the Katrina response."
Again.... in Mississippi, where the State government COOPERATED with the Federal government, the Response was MAGNIFICENT!

Katrina response wasn't Bush's fault. That is on former governor Betsy Wetsy who refused to allow Bush to move into the state in plenty of time to help avert the worst of the disaster. Shame on everyone who forgets this fact. Reports said at the time he pretty much begged her to let him in to set up early but she refused absolutely.
Bush or any other president needs the permission of the GOVERNOR of the state before they can move in to help. She refused on bad advice of her husband and other advisors. Yes the Bush's are globalist, and have been since grandpa's days. But the Katrina problem is not one of his failures. Not like what the media and Left wants us to believe. Now the FEMA guy is a whole other story.

"43 Alumni for Biden" will quickly become "43 Alumni for (a certain moderate conservative Western Senator)" if the call comes. And I would expect some sort of endorsement from the former "Greatest President Ever" 43 himself. Wait a few weeks.

No matter how much the leftist and liberal Democrats trashed G.W. Bush’s personal and professional reputations he jus stood there cross eyed with a smirk on his face and his finger up his butt not having a clue about how to defend himself or his political agenda and policies. The really sad thing is when that was going on large numbers of The US military members were being killed and seriously wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan in conflicts that still have no end in sight.
