This says bipartison, but I heard no Dems were going to be there???

ON CAPITOL HILL
Brown Testifies on Katrina
Former FEMA Dir. Michael Brown testifies at a House Select Bi- partisan Cmte. hearing on pre- parations for Hurricane Katrina. Brown, the first Under Sec. of Emergency Preparedness and Response serving in the Dept. of Homeland Security, resigned on Sept. 12 following criticism of FEMA's response to the storm.

2. Yup, just Repukes and Brownie

Don't waste your time, or your lunch

3. Pelosi didn't assign any members to the committee

I think it's a mistake. Being spoiled brats really don't help us very much. Apparently, some Democrats plan to show up anyway.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. I do hope that some Dems do show up. Thanks for letting me know. :)

5. Nice start. (R) Tom Davis announces that Brown will show

fault with local agencies. Why have hearings. They already know the answers.

6. I wonder if he'll blab on and on about Bush's drinking problem

that could get really boring

And now I will leave you to guess where this bit of gossip came from, because I promised not to tell. But one of the above-mentioned folks called me this afternoon to say that according to sources within the Enquirer itself, the source for Bush's drinking story is -- an incredibly pissed-off, recently scapegoated head of a federal agency who thinks that BushCo. done him wrong.

10. He was rehired yesterday to keep him from blabbing about anything n/t

[gasperc]

13. so, should I make it it's own post

this could generate a shit storm if it can gain traction

[WestHoustonDem]

14. Go for it. I thought I was stating the obvious. n/t

[gasperc]

16. it seems to be getting some traction

maybe on of the late night comics might pick it up and joke about it,
that might send it into the stratosphere even if a chuck of the populace thinks it's bullshit gossip

7. Brown: Disasters always occur in local communities.

Well, there you go. That's why they hired him--for his intelligence. :sarcasm:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. He thinks a disaster spanning at least four states is "local".

[WestHoustonDem]

9. He regrets his inability to convince Nagin and Blanco to work together.

What bullshit!

[Fridays Child]

11. He's humble, bitter, whiney, and self-congratulatory, all at once.

This is an abortion on live TV. I hope the media rip off his head and shit down his neck.
