Brown: Nosing

The comic strip The Family Circus often shows the children of the strip blaming domestic disasters on three evil spirits: Ida Know, Notme, and Nobody Didit.

Sort of like Michael Brown before Congress today. This is a man who has taken the Republican whine to the lowest circles of hell: he actually believes that his ego is more important than the dead of the Gulf States.

I was amused to hear him grilled by a Mississippi congressman who asked if it was part of the FEMA plan to have first responders need to loot in order to get food and changes of clothing. Incredibly, Brown did not have an adequate answer for that. Could it be shame? Naah: he just got off message.

Republicans in general, Michael Brown in particular, here's a news flash. Outside the Beltway, people who don't take responsibility for their fuckups, and keep it, are called crybabies. You got the big bucks so you could be the lightning rod for failure. Your agency failed. Now, grow up and take it: you make me puke.

Mega-surprise though to hear the testimony on NRP. As so many Democratics boycotted this, it was up to the Republicans and the La. dems to scoff. And they did.

Brown was entitlement issues...rich kid...all credit and no blame. One after another, the group ridiculed his cowardice.

Now, will the report reflect their incredulity or the need to keep Bushy clean?
