Brownie's got a heckuva new job (Keith Olbermann)


SECAUCUS — Even his staunchest defenders had long since admitted that whatever else the President did or didn't do, or was or wasn't supposed to do, his supposedly solid political sense let him down completely at the beginning of the month of the hurricanes.

It had seemed to rebound lately. Until today, anyway.

...

And, that's when it was revealed that FEMA had apparently rehired a former employee as a consultant. You might recognize his name, too — Mike Brown.

At a meeting with staff of the special House committee looking into Katrina preparations today, the disgraced and displaced former FEMA director said he had rejoined the agency as a consultant to "provide a review" of how the agency functioned before, during, and after the storm. This according to two congressional sources.

...

But the timing — Brown’s announcement to the staffers came just hours after the arrest of Sheehan in Washington for not having a permit to sit down rather than just march — suggests that the political tin ear is back in control at The White House.

1. Can you say blackmail?

What does Brownie have on Bush?:dilemma:

2. Can you say "no accountability"?

3. Strange story. Wasn't he just shopping his resume around a week ago?

Whoo-eee, the smell of steer droppings is mighty pungent this morning.

Like all the other mornings....

6. "Payoff"

Brownie is clearly being paid to NOT squeal loudly about how things went wrong on Shrub's watch.

9. My guess has ALWAYS been: bush thinks Brownie has a purty mouth

and this chapter of the saga seems to make the theory less tin foil-ish

4. Special Consultant in charge of Horsepiss

The naked corruption openly performed is something to behold.

Truly, it is what seperates nations like Imperial Amerika from Free World nations.
