Maybe Brownie did do a "heckofa job"

[salinen]

Chertoff and * were too busy being retarded. Have we under re-estimated the boy toy?

[liberal N proud]

1. If he did try to do his job and was a scape goat, he need to speak out

Let it all hang out there Brownie, save your legacy and maybe we will forgive.

[bluerum]

17. Not likely.

[MichiganVote]

2. Hardly

[donco6]

3. After reading the transcripts . . .

he doesn't seem quite as incompetent as I originally thought.

Conversely, Bush and Co. seem positively diabolical. I'm starting to go LIHOP on this . . . EEEEK!

[TomInTib]

6. Isn't that the truth....

sheer evil.

[Octafish]

22. The Pet Goat

Do nothing and sit still.



It's all the little turd from Crawford knows.

[bleever]

4. Though the video doesn't prove he did a great job, it shows he

wasn't the disengaged bumbler that I had assumed he was.

That puts him one up on the pReisdent.

[New Government]

5. AMEN !! -NT

[Jacobin]

9. NO. He was a disengaged bumbler

I live in Louisiana and watched in horror as he forked around ignoring 15,000 people dying of thirst and starvation at the port facility, while he pretended he didn't know they were there until AFTER they were shown on live TV, DYING in the streets.

He is an abject idiot. An Arabian Horse judge, who became a political crony and got in a position to create absolute bedlam.

How in the world is anyone getting the idea that this guy is anything but a criminal?

[nickyt]

12. With ya, Jacobin. "I have to go have dinner" "How's my tie" - forget it.

[bleever]

13. Point taken. I think my perceptions were colored by the portrayal

of Brownie as the fall-guy, and to hear him even asking questions made him seem to rise above the standard set by his boss, the pretzeldent.

Thanks for the response.

[MichiganVote]

15. Forgotten some of those emails? Brownie was a jerk too

[Pryderi]

7. Transcript video? Where can I see it?

[Suich]

11. Crooks and Liars has it. n/t

[Pryderi]

14. thanks

[Loge23]

8. He's still a schmuck

He's only singing because he's been left off the party list.
The time for his shtick has long since past.
Certainly that freak Chertoff and the idiot should be rightfully vilified. But it doesn't absolve the fashion god, Brownie.

[Suich]

10. I've changed my mind about Brown.

Even when he defended himself at the hearings, I didn't believe a word he said. Looks like his pal * gave him the shaft. Too bad the tape wasn't available sooner!

[MichiganVote]

16. This tape was available to a few...bet on it

[bklyncowgirl]

18. I don't know about a "heckuva job" but he wasn't the worst of the lot.

The guy was in a job he was not qualified for. He does, however, seem to have tried to do something which puts him a few bars up the evolutionary ladder than Bush and Nosferatu er I mean Chertoff who did nothing.

What amazes me is that they just hung old Brownie out to dry. I mean if you're going to make the guy a scapegoat for your own incompetence, at least make sure he's paid off so he doesn't turn around and bite you in the ass. A nice little six figure job counting paperclips at Halliburton or some other connected GOP firm probably would have kept him quiet.

Clearly they are as stupid as they are arrogant.

[helderheid]

19. Well, he wasn't qualified but it appears he really did try to warn them in

that video. Perhaps * appointed him because he knew he was incompetent and an easy target for when things go wrong

[Generator]

20. Well

It just shows you that even someone as vain and unqualified and whiney as Brown still looks competent and well let's face it-not brain dead or as souless as Bush. That's how bad Bush is.

Brown didn't do NOTHING. Which is what Bush has done during the two major disasters of his term- 9/11 and Katrina. Nothing while Americans died. Nothing.

[seabeyond]

21. that video showed brown more on top of it. remember brown threatened

bush prior to congressional hearing, you pay my lawyers or i talk. saying, he may be able to back himself up, and pin it on bush. it appears this is how it was from the video we saw today. wasnt brown draggin feet, but literally bush
