Well, Brownie's resigned. He did a heck of a job.

I can't find a full text report of Brown's resignation speech. I want to know what he said.

Thank God he had the decency to step down.

Brown basically said he was doing it to get the focus of him so people could focus on the continued relief effort. Word is even before Katrina he was planning on moving on in a couple months, so it was not a difficult decission for him to bail.

In other news, Bush is a lying ass.

Quote:

Q Did they misinform you when you said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees?

THE PRESIDENT: No, what I was referring to is this. When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, whew. There was a sense of relaxation, and that's what I was referring to. And I, myself, thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people, probably over the airways, say, the bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Umm, what? Some more intrepid researches than I have been unable to find any media with any reference to "dodging a bullet". I myself listened to the radio constantly between the time Katrina veered east of the city and the time the levees were breeched. During that time, there was one consistent theme...that no one would know for hours whether the city was safe, that once the western edge of the system got over Lake Ponchatrain was when the real danger was. NO ONE was saying the city dodged a bulltet, EVERYONE was saying that the worst may yet come.

So at best, Bush was completely ignorant of what was going on and wasn't paying the least bit of attention. At worst, he's flattly lying to cover his ass.

Not Georgie!

Too bad he's not up for re-election. I'd love to see him handed a can of whoop ass.

Am I mistaken, or is he actually trying to blame the media for this one? He gets his information from FoxNews, and not scientific-type experts?

I eagerly await the sure-to-be-forthcoming blaming of Clinton by his sorry ass.

I already tried that. Didn't work for me.

Lol!

At least you have enough class to admit when you are wrong about something.
