Bush FEMA director “Heckuva Job Brownie”: “Why did [Obama] jump on [Hurricane Sandy] so quickly?”

After the harrowing Hurricane Katrina devastation, GW Bush (in)famously said this to his FEMA director Michael Brown… yes, the same “Brownie” who completely botched it back in 2005 because he was, you know, too slow to respond to a major disaster:

Here’s what sloth-like Brownie the Hypocrite said about the way President Obama is handling Hurricane Sandy, via Think Progress:

“One thing he’s gonna be asked is, why did he jump on [the hurricane] so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in…Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?” Brown says. “Why was this so quick?… At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question…. This is like the inverse of Benghazi.”

And Brown is the inverse of competent, rational, and principled.

Here’s a thought, Brownie: The president was busy trying to get a head start on saving lives while your guy was busy promoting himself at a fake “storm relief event.”

Once a BushCo hypocritical smear-monger, always a BushCo hypocritical smear-monger. They always were good at playing the Blame Game.

Via Think Progress:

Even Republicans think Brown’s characterization is way off. Missouri Rep. Billy Long (R) said, “FEMA has been great. The FEMA White House liaison called me first thing this morning and said, ‘Whatever you need, you will have.’ And the FEMA’s been here working, and we’re just gonna fight back and help these people down here in any way possible…the federal government has pledged that.”

Quote-O’-The-Day: Former FEMA Fool edition

Heckuva quote, Mary:

“He was a fool when he stepped off the plane in Louisiana 4½ years ago, and unfortunately for him, he apparently still is.”

– Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), quoted by Politico, on the attempted comeback of former FEMA Director Michael Brown.

Many of us are still trying to figure out why he was allowed back on the Tee Vee Machine in the first place.

Not only did he get a show, he got a prime time show. Maybe he’ll do a terrible job, fail to show up, then get a public pat on the back:

Michael Brown, the former head of FEMA much excoriated for the agency’s response to Hurricane Katrina, reportedly has a deal to become a talk radio host in Denver.

He’s going all fair and balanced on us:

Brown told the blog he’ll resist jumping on the media bandwagon when someone in the news is painted as a villain, offering an “objective point of view.” [...]

He’s also teaching a class on the Patriot Act this spring at the University of Denver.[...]

The AM programming director for Clear Channel, which owns KOA, said Brown is “really very knowledgeable about what is going on and has solid opinions. Out of a list of really great candidates, he came to the top.”

Good lord, imagine who was at the bottom.
