On the Anniversary of Katrina, Michael Brown Slams Bush Administration

Remember him? Michael Brown? That ex-horse trainer and now ex-FEMA Chief? Well, Mr. Brown said a few things yesterday that won't make the boys in Washington smile much.

"There was no plan. ... Three years ago, we should have done catastrophic planning." He claimed Michael Chertoff and the rest of the Bush Administration "would not give me the money to do that kind of planning."

When asked about the positive and optimistic statements Brown had made during the time of Katrina, he responded with, "Those were White House talking points. And to this day, I think that was my biggest mistake."

He claims that there were many points throughout the disaster that he asked, "Where in the hell is the help?"

Brown also made this comment, "I have to confess ... you want to protect the president when you're a political appointee, so you're torn between telling the absolute truth and relying on those talking points. To thi day, that is my biggest regret."

The Ex-FEMA Chief also stated that he felt Bush and Chertoff should've received some of the blame, but that he (Brown) was made scapegoat, "because I'm the low man on the totem pole."

That's funny. I can remember Bush saying that Brown was doing "a heck of a job." I can only wonder what he's saying in accordance with these comments. Georgie, you may have told the public that Brown was doing "a heck of a job," but deep down, he definitely didn't feel likewise about the job you were doing or weren't doing, in this case.
