"Brownie, yer doin' a HECK of a job!"
In light of the disastrous response from FEMA, which virtually no one denies, and the reassignment and later resignation of Baghdad Brown - will that phrase be the new "Mission Accomplished"?

Better yet, will a reporter with balls actually ask Bush about it?

1. Of all his words for posterity, this may be his legacy:
"I think I may need a bathroom break"

George, take a long one.

2. To be fair...
I'm sure Bush thought that Browine was doin' at least as good a job as he (Bush) was. At any rate, surely we've "turned a corner" in Corrinna's wake, and that "Hurricane thing" is behind us. So yeah, "Mission Accomplished", indeed. What's a Feelya?

7. The bar is on the ground...
and yet Bush manages to get under it. It's a low, low, limbo that we're all in here.

3. He also said his intelligence on Iraq was "darn good intelligence"
despite questions over the bogus claim of Saddam's attempt to acquire Niger uranium in his SOTU speech.

8. It's all part of his management style
He familiarizes everyone's name - gives them a nickname.

He thanks people for their service (deserved or not).

He praises in public (deserved or not).

He is loyal to those who are loyal to him (deserved or not).

He is the worst manager I have ever observed. I am sure he is tyrannical behind the scenes and manages with threats and fear.

(23 years experience as one who has managed others).
