Columnist Margaret Carlson opines that former FEMA director Michael Brown may have taken the fall for Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff's buffoonery and incompetence. A new video showing storm preparations for Hurricane Katrina puts Brownie in a more favorable light. According to Carlson:
"We got it all wrong, and by we I mean everyone except President George W. Bush. By comparison to other public officials on the job -- or not -- Hurricane Katrina, Brownie did do a heckuva job.
"It turns out that of all the officials at the Department of Homeland Security, it was Michael Brown, the former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief, who warned how bad the storm would be, that red tape would have to be cut to get enough equipment and manpower to the scene. Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff is the dolt who didn't have a clue and flew off to Atlanta for a conference on bird flu, a problem for sure, but not one about to kill 1,300 people."
What Carlson says makes a lot of sense. It appears that Chertoff was clueless and Bush disengaged. Meanwhile, Brownie was trying in vain to get their attention. Brownie is still partially responsible, but he's not the horses ass he was made out to be. That role belongs to his superiors.

Who released that video? "Brownie" himself?
If he can help get GWB impeached, he'll go from horse's rear end to hero, won't he?

The video was dug up by the Associated Press (AP) and they are to be congradulated for helping to expose Bush as the pathological liar everyone knew him to be.
The "Brownie as fall guy" meme is extremely intriguing and just last night over pizza, a group of us (all queer, liberal activists) pretty much decided Michael Brown was probably the fall guy not only for Bush, but the deathly Michael Chertoff as well.
In any case, the video will help "pile on" after the November midterms and Democrats regain control of the House.
Then the Motherfucker from Midland can be impeached and the clean-up can begin.
