I'll betcha Brown resigns or is fired tomorrow. Whaddya wanna bet?

[goodboy]

The Bushies had their dirty little tenticles all over the release of that Time piece too.

Bush gets save face after praising an incompetent prick who's guilty of negligent homicide.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Maybe not.

That would be admitting they made a mistake by hiring that putz in the first place.

[Laughlandia]

11. Not a chance

Rove tells chimpy to never admit to a mistake. The republican coverup investigation is in the works. Not going to happen. (I hope I'm wrong.)

[goodboy]

13. true, but that's something they can also blame on some peon bureaucrat.

I think it would result in a tiny, short boost, but that would get them to National Fear Reprogramming Day, (aka 9-11-05)

[ocd liberal]

2. never happen

[goodboy]

10. Why? Brown is the perfect sacrificial lamb, and it will take significant

heat off of bush.

welcome to du.

[me b zola]

23. I tend to agree with you

The "outing" of his bogus resume gives bush* the perfect cover/excuse to fire him and say that they didn't know how unqualified he was.

They are looking for a way to get out from under him, without admitting guilt.

As it is, the drum beats for the head of bush*inc.

[tblue37]

27. How can they fire "Brownie"

when he is "doin a heckuva job"?

[intheflow]

3. Bush doesn't care: What redneck freeper reads TIME?

What redneck freeper reads, for gosh sake? Most of the die-hards will back Brown because Bush backs Brown, don't confuse them with facts. And we know that Bush likes to stay the course, and never, ever admit he was wrong about anything.

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. Well...It is Friday

News DumpDay!

[BrotherBuzz]

15. Good point.

[Tatiana]

5. I give it a week. n/t

[Eric J in MN]

6. No way. Michael Brown will get a medal.

Failure is rewarded by Bush.

[Rowdyboy]

7. You're right....I think the asshole will resign this weekend....

Surely its time for the humiliation to end....

[sandnsea]

8. I'm honestly betting suicide

For real, that guy doesn't look like he's handling all of this too well. As long as he thinks he can make it right, he can hang on. But if that is taken away from him, or doesn't work out, hard telling what he'll do.

[Tatiana]

If he's smart, he'll resign. His reputation won't matter to Halliburton.

They are setting him up and not making any bones about it.

This leaking of his background information is intentional.

[Tatiana]

12. dupe

[msgadget]

9. Nope,

it'd be too much a gift to the democrats. This guy NEVER admits to mistakes and wants to maintain that 'onward ahead' image. I've never seen anyone so afraid of appearing mortal.

[6000eliot]

16. Planting this resume story in Time

means not having to admit to a mistake to get rid of him.

[Avalon Sparks]

22. The mistake was to hire him in the first place...

This administration obviously did not even bother to do a background check before they hired him - is what is looks like.

Hey it's only the Head of Federal Emergency Management - who needs checked references or creditials???

[Raksha]

24. Well, yeah...it's not like anyone's life depends

on whether he does his job, or anything like that. :sarcasm:

[DoYouEverWonder]

29. Same way that let a dual-citizen take the top security job in the country

Which is a job where you certainly don't want to worry where someone's allegiance might be.

[msgadget]

28. I guess it could be a

a plant though it could as well have been the result of curiosity regarding Brown followng his stunning failures this past week. But, I'm willing to hold onto a relatively optimistic hope regarding his future now that you mention this possibility. :)

[Secular Agent Man]

14. His FEMA days are numbered, tomorrow, day after,

it ain't gonna be very long. Even if his resume had been squeaky clean, this guy is going down.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. I don't know

They've gone so far to blame the mayor and governor, why out of nowhere would he fire him? According to Bush nothing went wrong. I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if on down the line he got a promotion or a medal.

[goodboy]

19. 4 years after 9-11 we are still not prepared to deal with any catastrophe

of ANY kind, especially a terrorist attack.

This thing didn't even take us by surprise. The levees breaking wasn't a surprise.

Many many more people will die in the aftermath of Katrina due to the admin's negligent homicide and incompetence.

think about it: Bush is deadlier for Americans than 9-11 was, and a cat 5 hurricane was.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Sunday after the morning gasbags.

[Initech]

20. In the Backwards Bush administration? Nah, he'll get promoted.

I mean come on, Bizarro World is running this country.

[Be Brave]

21. His PR people are on CNN right now, disputing the TIME report.

Doesn't look like he's going away soon.

[shanti]

25. but, but, he was fully vetted!!

:eyes:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

32. So resume padding is worse than criminal negligence?

Although I guess there is a direct link from one to the other. But if they start removing underqualified, inexperienced hacks from positions of management in this regime, they would have a lot of empty desks.

[Raydawg1234]

26. They will probablly keep him around................

They will probablly keep him around until after the investigations. That way they can use him as a scapegoat to take the heat off of Bush.

[mopaul]

30. ...medal of freedom, definitely medal of freedom

[Cocoa]

31. Bushies had their tentacles over the release of the Time piece?

how so?

The Bushies smear their enemies with lies, they don't report the truth about their friends, so I'm confused by your statement.

[goodboy]

34. I mean the super 'convenient' release of the piece...It seems like it

worked out almost too perfectly for the bushies.

Bush endorses Brown, "You're doin' a heck of a job"

Brown is actually incompetent, and the media's catching on, so how do they get rid of Brown and save face?

and poof.

Brown goes down.

[goodboy]

33. I just got home and saw the news: Ahem, I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

38. But he's not 'fired' OR 'resigned'. Still head of FEMA, is he not?

[goodboy]

41. yeah, you're right. I didn't say he'd be removed from command, but I

still think he'll be gone soon.

[growlypants]

35. no chance. none whatsoever. these people NEVER damit their

mistakes. NEVER!! And the EGOs on these people are IMMENSE. Brown doesnt care if he's inept and a liar (see his Resume). All he cares about is holding onto that position. And Bu$h will NEVER fire ANYONE in his administration. NEVER.

[elehhhhna]

36. here's my prediction: Brown to suicide self;

media to be blamed.

Brownie DOES know a bit about FEMA fraud in Miami, etc.

He will probably shoot himself in the back of the head approximately 12 times with startling accuracy, and the REAL blame game will begin. His "sorrow" and humiliation at the hands of the "leftwing press" will be at fault.

If Karl hasn't thought of this scenario yet, tell him I want credit and a couple of fema debit cards as a thank you.

[goodboy]

42. wow. (nt)

[me b zola]

37. Ah, sweet vindication

even if it is only partial for me :)

[Digit]

39. He will move him to another position, full pay

...but we will be watching.....and telling.....

[gate of the sun]

40. I think they are cocky enough to stand by their man.

they believe they are untouchable....mostly they are as our representatives do very little to bring the voice of the people to the fore front and demand these creeps stand up and be what they are pretending to be.

[goodboy]

43. I think there's too much heat in this case to "stand by their man" they

will throw him to the wolves hoping it gives them enough cover to get the country thinking about 911 again.

[LaPera]

44. I'll take that bet! Brown' NOT going to pass up that paycheck, Bush people

who lie and protect him only get promoted...Not to mention they can never admit to being wrong.

Now Brown can stay in the backround and receive a huge paycheck...Shit, what else is he qualified to do...to make that kind of money?

No way will he resign...These people don't do that...and Bush loves "Brownie".

He'll stay until they pry him out of there!!!

[NYC]

45. Congratulations, Nostradamus. Not fired, but

sent back to D.C. to be less visible. Firing him would admit error, so this is as close as they come.

You were close enough.

[goodboy]

46. Cool. I knew something would happen today regarding Brown.

They don't let the MSM pick up a story like the Time piece unless they really want you to go away and save face at the same time.

[enki23]

47. not for a little while, if ever. he'll just lay real, real low for now.

the bush administration does not admit mistakes. it makes them in record numbers, and of unsurpassed significance. it just doesn't admit them.

[goodboy]

48. you think? I don't think so. One things for sure, if Brown does go, and

the heat stays on...chertoff will follow, and then it could be a watershed moment with

firings, and resignations and indictments, OH MY!!

[goodboy]

49. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[justiceischeap]

50. Hey, what's tomorrow's winning lotto numbers? (eom)

[helderheid]

51. you win!!

[TroglodyteScholar]

52. I hope you'll use your talent for good, not evil... n/t

[goodboy]

53. May the Schwartz be with you! (nt)
