[...] Ex-FEMA chief has been complaining that he is being made out be a scapegoat for the Katrina fiasco. OK, well let’s see shall we? This is the same genius that said “Paula, the federal government did not even know about the convention center people until today” in an interview with Paula Zahn on CNN. Now this interview was on September 1, 2005. The rest of the world seemed to have a clear picture that the Superdome was a shelter. On August 28th the mayor of New Orleans had ordered a mandatory evacutation. So “Brownie” didn’t know until the 1st of September? You have got to be kidding me, then again he was lamenting on emails “Can I quit now? CanI go home?” This self-righteous failure of a human being has no right to complain. Here’s a thought Michael…if you are feeling hard done by just think of the 1000 plus people who perished. If you hadn’t such a complete failure some of them might be with us today. You are pathetic.

Isn’t it amazing how any douchbag can lie and say “I’m a Christian; I believe in Jesus” and automatically they have every ignoramus in the country blindly voting for him? And how many of these fools have actually read the Bible? Obviously these “Christians” have no idea what Christ was like or they’d know for a fact that Bush and his Cronies are not Christians at all! They say they are for personal gain, though their actions do not back up their words. We need more smart people in this country.

Why is it the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’s fault that the CITY of New Orleans, and the State of Louisiana pocketed billions of dollars in money that was supposed to go to fixing the levees? Not two weeks before Katrina, Congress released a report investigating 60 million that New Orleans had recently received for infrastructure that was unaccounted for. Why should the FEDERAL government continue to fund someone’s private parties and houses? I, as a taxpayer, am sick and tired of my taxes going to cities like New Orleans, and states like Louisiana that are more interested in corruption than taking care of people. Why didn’t the High and Mighty Mayor Nagin call out all city busses and all school busses, like is in his disaster plan, and get those people out of there? Why didn’t the Governor call for assistance before Tuesday Night? Our way of government doesn’t allow for the FEDERAL government to step into a LOCAL or STATE situation until they are asked to, or until it is determined by the Feds the State can’t handle it. Stop making this a race issue. I suppose you want to say Katrina was racist because it hit New Orleans, too?

I agree with the person who mentioned the practice of clearing out the poor. Deep down, I think the republicans were hoping these people would drown, starve, and die. I grew up in a nieghborhood and went to college with many asshole republican pieces of shit. Then there are the redneck born-again douchebags who voted for him because he is sopposedly “Christian”. I wonder what Jesus would have done?? Time and time again I hear comments, from these scum dehumanizing African-Americans. If they are thought of as less than human it becomes easier to turn a blind eye to their suffering. It was blatantly obvious that the poor, the blacks, and the infirm were left to suffer because the powers that be felt they “deserved” to suffer. It would not shock me to see another civil war or revolution in this country. I am so disgusted that I want to move. This is not what the founding fathers intended when they broke free from English tyranny.

I dont know why he just didnt help them out. If it was him, he would want somebody to help him out. I dont see why he didnt get a bus to get the people out that didnt have transportation before that storm ocurred.

To tom on number #60, yea you are right it is a demacrate who is governor there, so it prove this President is to blame.
Look at it this way of all the other states on the coast in the last year who has had a hurricane and needed the goverment help got is right away and they were Republicans governors or the President bother which if you did not know is a Republican, so you can look at it the way it really seem to alot, the president is showing us he helps Republicans governors look at the record of this president how he does not help states with dems as governors, was’nt it him who would not help the governor of californa , davis when they were having problem with the energy there ,but now that there is a republican there now he does alot more for them. This president has just shown he can not bring this country together for he is about getting rich and trying to pass hate laws. god help us, oh I forgot this president is god, can’t wait till he is out.

This is all part of the Bush’s plain for 2008.
Lets see Jeb bush got all the help he wanted right away to make him look very good in a disaster can’t you see what is going on here.
Let me tell you something now about the bush’s, they are for thereself, they are getting very rich from us has anyone been to keywest? the bush family are building condoes there , low income starting at $500.000 is this low income, I know property is high there but you don’t think they are getting money from the goverment because they are listing them as low income housing.
the Bush familys do not care what happens to us here they are for there self, we did not have to go to war with Iraq it was away for this president to get even for thm trying to kill his father and for there family to make more money with oil. its funny that we have to pay alot more for gas now,and you really think this president cares? he is making a killing off of these prices, plain and simple he is to blame for the prices and he is laughing all the way to the bank, and cheany I don’t even want to go there ,look at his old company.
This administration is only for one thing for the bush’s to get rich and there close friends to get rich anyway they can, look at Michael Brown for some reson last year he paid out millions to some people in florida that was not hit by any dissaters, sounds like someone is finding ways to line there pockets.
Don’t you really think there is enough blame to go around but the buck should stop at the feet of bush, he is the president, and he swore to keep us safe, god help us when we have a dirty bomb go off, it won’t be if but when, you know where the president will be underground hiding while the rest of us has to wait for help.

Why is everyone so mad at Michael Brown at fema,
Lets see, all he wants his his cut of the $60 billion , thats why he does not want just anyone to go save lives, he has his owne people so he can get his cut from them, like Cheany has in the Iraq war.
Are we all so supprise of this, thats the way this hole Bush thing is, the BUSH’S get rich with there oil friends and his friends get rich anyway they can.
I keep hearing this President say he has chosen the right man for the job any time he picks someone for a job, lets see does it look like it, maybe he met he pick the right man to line his pockets.

The Mayor has been doing a good job.

The Governor is a useless idiot.

The FEMA director is an incompetent moron.

Neither of your links prove that ANYBODY knew the convention center was a shelter.

In your first link, the only mention of it is:
“He and about 50 other people found makeshift shelter on a ramp leading to the mall and parking garage at the New Orleans Convention Center.”

I hardly think the FEMA director would have been aware of this prior to Thursday.

Your second link is dated: Thursday, September 1, 2005; Posted: 11:36 p.m. EDT

This was HOURS after Brown’s interview with Paula Zahn. Would you care to post a link that supports your claim? *I* didnt know the convention center was open until Thursday either.

Here’s a good question for Mike Brown ,
“Did you enjoy reading My Pet Goat?”

I blame Bush for giving Mike that book because Mike
never bothered to turn on the TV , he just kept reading.

The fact that the FEMA director did not know that the convention center was a shelter is not a negative statement about FEMA, but about the incompetent Mayor Nagin and Gov. Blanco.

Here is a section of the City of New Orleans disaster plan, which you can find it on their web site: “‘We coordinate all city departments and allied state and federal agencies which respond to citywide disasters and emergencies through the development and constant updating of an integrated multi-hazard plan. All requests for federal disaster assistance and federal funding subsequent to disaster declarations are also made through this office.”

Why did Mayor Nagin not tell FEMA of its plans? Why did the Govenor not send in the guard. And don’t tell me they were all in Iraq, because that is not true. Louisiana has over 60% of its troups in its state.

FEMA is not a first responder. It is not the first line of defense. But the State and local governments are. FEMA began moving troops in on Tuesday. That is fast for the Federal Government, not to mention that they cannot come in until the Govenor request them, unless you want the President to declare an insurrection, which would have been another Anti-Bush Blogging opportunity.

Since you folks want to play the blame game there it is. You LOOSE!! The Democratic Gov. Blanco is finished! Do not cry too hard. Instead cry for the people who are really hurting, the victims of the hurracaine.

Give me a break about all this racial BS! I am Native American, and if anyone ever got a crappy deal in this country it was us, but you don’t see “Us” throwing up racial comments every time something bad happens. Grow up and move on.

Mike, Mike Brown, Dir. of FEMA – Is that you? If so, the finger pointing won’t save you at this late date. Shame shame!
