Brown Blames HorsesAss.org»

Appearing today before a congressional committee, Mike Brown explains what caused his downfall at FEMA:

Watch Brown: Quicktime Streaming

While FEMA was trying to respond to probably the largest natural disaster in the history of this country, a catastrophic disaster that the president has described covering an area the size of Great Britain — I have heard 90,000 square miles — unless you have been there and seen it, you don’t realize exactly how bad and how big it was — but in the middle of trying to respond to that, FEMA’s press office became bombarded with requests to respond immediately to false statements about my resume and my background.

Ironically, it started with an organization called horsesass.org, that on some blog published a false, and, frankly, in my opinion, defamatory statement that the media just continued to repeat over and over. Next, one national magazine not only defamed me, but my alma mater, the Oklahoma City University School of Law, in one sentence alone leveling six false charges.

[snip]

But I guess it’s the media’s job. But I don’t like it. I think it’s false. It came at the wrong time. And I think it led potentially to me being pulled out of Louisiana because it made me somewhat ineffective.

The nation owes HorsesAss.org a debt of gratitude.

    I’m first!!!!!

    What did you expect him to say? Its not his fault he is over qualified for the Bush admin…. He should be President, then he could hire W to run FEMA


  2. me Says:

    Brief glance, looks like it might be an interesting site. Yo, Brownie! Thanks for the reference.


  3. Concerned Conservative Says:

    More incompetence in government! I love it! As the confidence in government solutions ebbs away, so do the prospects for big government politicians. Oddly, Bush’s incompetence might not help the dems much as a result of this phenomenon.


  4. Pablo in Mexico Says:

    My sources tell me that the National Enquirer source for the Bush drinking problem is none other than this character Brown.

    My source is not sure who approached who but thinks that the NE sent someone to see Brown right after he resigned to get his story and try and find some dirt on the administration. Brown blurted out the fact that Bush was drinking “heavily” once again.

    Several days later Brown was asked by the administration to stay on as a “consultant” for the foreseable future.

    It all makes sense to me!


  5. Lis Riba Says:

    I saw that rumored-sourcing of the Enquirer article, too. I’m somewhat dubious, though. Bush has a reputation for putting a strong value on loyalty. I don’t think he’d reward somebody who stabbed him in the back like that.


  6. Clyde the Ripper Says:

    Who better to know where Drownie had his head than the namesake of the location. DUHbya will soon be called out on gonegonegone.com.


  7. Dumb Fox Says:

    This would be hysterical if it wasn’t so tragic. Mike Brown’s testimony boils down to a simple excuse:

    I couldn’t do my job properly because bloggers were being nasty to me.

    From the bottom of my heart… F*ck you, Brownie. When duty called, you covered your ass. And you couldn’t even do that effectively.


  8. Zookeeper Says:

    Oh, okay. The media made him look bad. That’s why no one showed up in NO for several days and babies and old people were dying from dehydration. Thanks for explaining,

    Drownie, you’re doing a heckuva job. How much is FEMA paying you for your services as a “consultant?”

    Get lost, loser.


  9. Focus Group Says:

    As usual they are doing some great work with the framing.

    But doesn’t anyone in MSM notice that this sounds like the ‘blame game’ that McClellan, Sean and the entire Bushevik army tried to use to silence Bush’s critics


  10. The WB42 5:30 Report With Doug Krile Says:

    On The Road Again

    The President is on the road again. Back on the Gulf Coast. Bloggers are questioning the need, considering fuel shortages and high prices. That’s just one topic on our list for today.


  11. John K Says:

    Of course - it couldn’t be YOUR fault, could it, Brownie? I mean, you were only in charge of FEMA.

    Don’t even start with this whining. You are incompetent and totally unqualified to lead any federal agency, let alone any organization anywhere.


  12. cynical ex-hippie Says:

    I couldn’t do my job because bloggers were mean to me. LOL. That’s right. I had to spend most of my days on the blogs responding to attacks, calling people asshats, and generally obeying Godwin’s Law.

    At one point, I had my entire team on blog patrol which seriously detracted from search and rescue efforts.


  13. Spokane Moderate Says:

    Brief glance, looks like it might be an interesting site. Yo, Brownie! Thanks for the reference.

    If you’re interested in WA state politics, it’s a must-read. I’ve followed it since even before Goldy turned it into a blog. Definitely take a look at his “About Me” link. The site is called “Horsesass” because he attempted to file an initiative to declare a WA initiative profiteer and utter scumbag a “Horsesass” and deliver copies of the initiative to (if I recall correctly) him, his family, and his mother.


  14. Ellis Says:

    It’s DENIAL personified. Tell a lie often enough, and the base will buy it hook, line, and sinker. Brownie has probably never been held accountable for anything in his preppie life so why start now.


  15. Joe Sixpack Says:

    As one of your fellow conservatives, CC #4, I don’t know what you are crowing about here. All this shows is the incompetent, mismanaged, rampant cronyism that exists in our Republican side of government.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you think the democrats are going to point out in the course of the hearings (perhaps lasting thru the 2006 elections) that FEMA was a cabnet level position under Bill Clinton and was well run, well managed, and had qualified people in place before Junior allowed it to be corrupted? I mean, you really ought to get your sh*t together before you start snickering about something that is bound to kick some republican ass.

    By the way, what’s your take on Junior flying around on Air Force One for his photo ops while he tells the rest of us to carpool and bite the bullet? I mean, one conservative to another, isn’t he a sorry SOB or what?


  16. Jon Says:

    Don’t forget that that horse’s ass Michael Brown helped George W. Bush carry hurricane-ravaged Florida in 2004.

    For the details, see:

    “FEMA: Florida Election Management Agency”


  17. WTF Are You Says:

    CC still thinks there are Iraqi links to OBL. He’s just concerned his 18th century idea of an America that never existed, that he created in his tiny little mind just got blown out to sea by globally warmed up hurricanes.


  18. Mary Poppin Says:

    #16, Joe Sixpack, You are ragging on old Bushie and the repug party that is the first.


  19. Darth Filibustrous Says:

    Who is responsible for Katrina? It’s the terrorists!

    I guess it was only a matter of time before Bush invoked 9/11 to up shore his Katrina-ravaged base:

    BUSH: “You see, we look at the destruction caused by Katrina, and our hearts break. They’re the kind of people who look at Katrina and wish they had caused it. We’re in a war against these people. It’s a war on terror. These are evil men who target the suffering. They killed 3,000 people on September the 11th, 2001. And they’ve continued to kill.”

    - Bush speaking before “the Republican Jewish Coalition” (a pretty tiny crowd I guess)


  20. Punchy Says:

    dont get it. what was reported falsely by the bloggers? what about his background–horses–was “false”? Why is it defamatory to report his underqualification? That’s not a subjective conclusion; if you possess NO experience, you “lack experience”. period. what a effin’ crybaby.


  21. Ryan Neat Says:

    Remind me what republican ASSHAT said blogs don’t have an infuence?

    Blog away my brothers and sisters, clearly more americans will get their news from blogs after hearing this!

    We are the only FREE press still operating in the country. It’s the BLOG FOR A FREE AMERICA system, broadcasting to a world that needs freed of fascism and extremism!


  22. Ryan Neat Says:

    “dont get it. what was reported falsely by the bloggers?”

    He’s following the same republican ’standard’ that Dewey fought a half a century ago. His quote was “I told my republican friends that I’d stop telling the truth about them, when they stopped telling lies about me”. Clearly Mike Brown is cut from the same republican cloth!


  23. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Mary, Mary, quite contrary….I think you are starting to read and understand my posts.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m still the same old beer swigging, knuckle-dragging redneck conservative I’ve always been. Complete with belching and passing gas with my fellow trolls.


  24. Jeff Says:

    Best contradiction:

    Brown: “The reason that this primary responsibility, this first response is at the local level is that it is inherently impractical, totally impractical for the federal government to respond to every disaster of whatever size in every community across the country.” (from CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/ 2005/ POLITICS/ 09/ 27/ katrina.brown/ index.html)

    versus

    FEMA website: The Federal Emergency Management Agency - a former independent agency that became part of the new Department of Homeland Security in March 2003 - is tasked with responding to, planning for, recovering from and mitigating against disasters. FEMA can trace its beginnings to the Congressional Act of 1803. (from http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm)

    Hey Brown - didn’t you even research the company you took a job with?


  25. The Northeast Dilemma Says:

    Why is the left wing going after Brown - he’s gone. I don’t get it. You have nothing to gain here. You’ve already smeared everyone in the Admin as a Bush crony so that’s not really a salient.

    The left’s inability to focus on issues of importance (where something real is at stake) bewilders me. So we fire and smear Brown - BFD? While you focus on that, I’ll focus on getting Bush’s next Supreme Court nominee confirmed. But, thanks for the help. Your stupidity is a conservative’s best friend.


  26. >>> Says:

    Ryan,

    Do you have a blog?


  27. Bill Frist Says:

    I’ve reviewed the videos here and looked hard at Michael Brown - that is somebody in persistent vegetative state. . . . There just seems to be insufficient information to conclude that Michael Brown is not in a persistent vegetative state.

    You do that. That’s all this idiot is going to be able to do and an untrained chimp could do that and actually is.

    That’s true, it is hard to concentrate on brown when you guys keep killing people. Murder is a good distraction for fascist policies, it worked with the reichstagg, it works now. Unfortunately you harm, abuse and kill in so many ways, concentrating on which atrocity to stop can be bewildering!

  31. Ryan Neat Says:

    “Ryan,
    Do you have a blog? ”

    No, I have personal time constraints, so I don’t always have time to post every day. I prefer to post mainly here, and sometimes on crooksandliars.


  32. The Northeast Dilemma Says:

    Ryan - I think it’s Democrats who abort 4,000 babies a day, not Republicans. I think it’s Democrats who seek one voice on the Court (the fascists they are). AND I think it’s Democrats who defend sex offender like Teddy and Bill Clinton.


  33. Concerned Conservative Says:

    Joe, I’m just saying that the federal govt. has its limits as to what it can effectively do. Yes, some admins. are more competent than others but the bar is pathetically low to begin with. I’m actually in favor of nailing incompetents like Brown - maybe that would start to make some of these bureaucrats believe they are accountable –but I’m not holding my breath. And yes, Bush flying around while telling us to conserve is weak. Reminds me of Arianna Huffington (harsh, I know).

    WTF, “globally warmed up hurricanes”? Fact: from 1900 to present there were more category 3,4 and 5 hurricanes pre-1950 than post-1950. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E12.html
    So much for the global warming causing more intense storms theory.

    Also, re. Iraq and Al Qaeda links: according to a memo sent from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith to Senators Pat Roberts and Jay Rockefeller, the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee date October 23, 2003, The relationship began shortly before the first Gulf War. According to reporting in the memo, bin Laden sent “emissaries to Jordan in 1990 to meet with Iraqi government officials.” At some unspecified point in 1991, according to a CIA analysis, “Iraq sought Sudan’s assistance to establish links to al Qaeda.” The outreach went in both directions. According to 1993 CIA reporting cited in the memo, “bin Laden wanted to expand his organization’s capabilities through ties with Iraq.”

    The primary go-between throughout these early stages was Sudanese strongman Hassan al-Turabi, a leader of the al Qaeda-affiliated National Islamic Front. Numerous sources have confirmed this. One defector reported that “al-Turabi was instrumental in arranging the Iraqi-al Qaeda relationship. The defector said Iraq sought al Qaeda influence through its connections with Afghanistan, to facilitate the transshipment of proscribed weapons and equipment to Iraq. In return, Iraq provided al Qaeda with training and instructors.”

    One such confirmation came in a postwar interview with one of Saddam Hussein’s henchmen. As the memo details:

    “4. According to a May 2003 debriefing of a senior Iraqi intelligence officer, Iraqi intelligence established a highly secretive relationship with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and later with al Qaeda. The first meeting in 1992 between the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) and al Qaeda was brokered by al-Turabi. Former IIS deputy director Faruq Hijazi and senior al Qaeda leader [Ayman al] Zawahiri were at the meeting–the first of several between 1992 and 1995 in Sudan. Additional meetings between Iraqi intelligence and al Qaeda were held in Pakistan. Members of al Qaeda would sometimes visit Baghdad where they would meet the Iraqi intelligence chief in a safe house. The report claimed that Saddam insisted the relationship with al Qaeda be kept secret. After 9-11, the source said Saddam made a personnel change in the IIS for fear the relationship would come under scrutiny from foreign probes.”


  34. Peace Lover Says:

    NED - Do you really think it’s only Democrats that have abortions? You are Dilusional. Sex offenders? Jeez I must have missed those convictions. Keep defending morons NED it only shows your ignorance.


  35. Ryan Neat Says:

    “Ryan - I think it’s Democrats who abort 4,000 babies a day, not Republicans. ”

    I think it’s republicans who print propaganda lies like this, making a statement that is a lie, scientifically unfounded, morally unfounded and showing the complete level of ignorance and flat earth thinking that is the republican retard machine. We’ve already had this discussion, a baby is something that’s been born - a fetus is a clump of tissue and not a baby. You know this is true - and your LIE is as false as you and your swiftboat buddie’s claims…

    “I think it’s Democrats who seek one voice on the Court (the fascists they are).”

    Oh please, 7 out of 9 justiced are republican appointees. The court is now more conservative than it has been in american history! Your statement is paranoid insanity! The fascists are corporatists - that’s you! You’re so fvcking stupid you don’t even know what fascism is, or that you represent it! Bahaha, no wonder you guys could only muster 400 protestors - what an idiot!

    ” AND I think it’s Democrats who defend sex offender like Teddy and Bill Clinton.”

    Ah please, you who defend bush for signing laws that permit saudis to exercise pedophilia call others sex offenders? A smarter man would know those claims were smears and lies - but clearly that is not you.

    NeD, claiming to think… when in reality trying to unravel the thread!
    Don’t feed the trolls.


  37. Ryan Neat Says:

    NED,

    Do you think Bush was a democrat when he paid for his girlfriend’s ILLEGAL abortion? See when abortion is illegal, only rich white men can afford to have it safely, so poor women are mutilated and killed instead. I’m sure you and your racist sexist world this is a good thing…

  38. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Hey, Northeast Dilemma, it me, Joe! I like the line up in #26 on focusing on getting another Supreme Court justice on board. Lets hope for once, the Republicans can get it right this time. But to be honest, I think our boy Roberts is a sheep in wolf’s clothing and that is why Laura Ingraham and the far right is having such a fit.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, NED, but the shot in #33 about aborting 4,000 babies a day is a little below the belt, even for a rightwinger like you. Who said it was all democrats? I mean, who really knows, besides Pat Robertson? Maybe they were afraid the fetuses would grow up and look like Rush Limbaugh with a pea-brain like Hannity. As for mentioning “sex offenders” what is your take on Bill O’Righty?

    I do have a serious question for you: which Republican politician do you think it was that sly old Bill Clinton gave that famous cigar to to smoke? Heh, Heh. My money is on Frist or Dick Cheney.


  39. The Northeast Dilemma Says:

    Ryan - didn’t read a thing you just wrote.

  41. Spudge_Boy Says:

    “Why is the left wing going after Brown - he’s gone.”

    No he is not you imbicile. Michael Brown was rehired by FEMA as a consultant. He probably makes more money as a consultant. The fact that we know more about your party and their cronies speaks volumes about the fact that you are full of shit and don’t know shit.


  42. Spudge_Boy Says:

    “Ryan - didn’t read a thing you just wrote.”

    And this is why you will remain ignorant of what is going on around you, just like the fact that you think Brown doesn’t work for FEMA anymore.

    Moron



  43. The Northeast Dilemma Says:

    Concerned - why are they so delusional? They latch on to these morons like Cindy, Michael Moore and even John Kerry, get spanked at the polls and then try to convince us that we should be scared come next election. IT’s sad. Why do they hate America so?

    “get spanked at the polls”

    We are getting spanked at the polls. Jesus Christ you are out of touch.


  46. Concerned Conservative Says:

    Not sure of the source of the pathology, NeD. Just hope that they keep dragging the party left of left.


  47. Anonymous Says:

    Spanked at the polls? He-he. You are delusional. Both elections were squeakers and Gore won in 2000. You aren’t going to get spanked in 2006 and 2008. You are going to get reamed the way you like it.


  48. Ryan Neat Says:

    “Not sure of the source of the pathology, NeD. Just hope that they keep dragging the party left of left.
    Comment by Concerned Conservative”

    And this is how I know you’ve never traveled or even understand what LEFT is. American has no LEFT, we only have center and right. The number of people who constitute a left is probably the same size that protested on sunday.

    Even the green party in the US would be considered a center-right party in europe!

    You are truly a stupid moron - no wonder these guys can consistently get 1/3 of the population to vote for them if you’re the quality of intelligence the right wing offers!


  49. Ryan Neat Says:

    Actually Kerry won in 2004 by ~2 million votes according to the VERY RELIABLE exit polling… There’s a reason almost 60% of americans heavily disapprove of this reichwinger!


  50. Montague Says:

    a false, and, frankly, in my opinion, defamatory statement that the media just continued to repeat over and over

    Bet Mike Brown was cheering when it was being done to John Kerry.


  51. Ryan Neat Says:

    “Ryan - didn’t read a thing you just wrote.
    Comment by The Northeast Dilemma”

    Why would you, the whole point of conservatism is that you think already know all the answers. Facts, science and reason are just inconviences to discard! Not surprised you didn’t, and I’d be shocked to find you had the capacity to!

    The problem is that your entire frame of argument is all wrong.

    1) If you use religion, frankly my religion disagrees with you. Therefore your intolerance of my religion and incorporation of your religious values into the constitution violate the separation of church and state. Religion can only exist with consciousness - and that doesn’t occur until almost at the end of pregnancy.
    2) If you use ‘morality’, I disagree with you, and therefore your REQUIREMENT that I comply with my values is a violation of my 1st amendment rights. If you look at abortion from my side, I don’t FORCE you to have an abortion - I allow you to make that personal moral choice. However you would FORCE me (well not me personally, but a woman) to NOT have an abortion simply because of your narrow view of morality that is different from 2/3rds of americans!
    3) If you use science, you lose big time. Brain waves (alpha in particular) are the definition of a human being alive - and that doesn’t occur in a fetus until the point where it’s a ‘premature’ baby and not a fetus anyway.

    So all in all, your fascism would choose to restrict my rights, while I PROTECT yours. You are truly terrorist scum!

    “a false, and, frankly, in my opinion, defamatory statement that the media just continued to repeat over and over

    Yeah, kind of like when they made false claims about whitewater or the urban legend that Gore claimed to have created the internet. These guys are stupid hypocrits…


  53. afterthought Says:

    Trolls seem sour again today.
    Must be all the bad news lately.
    Did everyone hear that they arrested two
    guys for the murder of Abramoff’s “business”
    partner in the gambling cruise ship disaster
    and that Abramoff’s partner paid the guys
    about $200K around the time of the murder?
    Said it was for “catering” and “surveillance”.


  54. Ryan Neat Says:

    “Not sure of the source of the pathology, NeD. Just hope that they keep dragging the party left of left.
    Comment by Concerned Conservative”

    Well I am sure of your pathology. It’s called a cognitive dissonance:

    “a psychological conflict resulting from incongruous beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously”

    For instance the belief that you are fiscally conservative while you have the largest deficits in american spending.
    Or the dissonance that you are for ‘personal responsibility’, when no one in an administration will admit MASSIVE failures like this schmuck.
    Or the dissonance that you are good with the economy when every republican president has a MASSIVE depression or recession - even if they followed 8 years of republicans!
    Or the dissonance that you are protecting us from terrorists, when the guys who are charged with doing this created the very organization (alQueda) that attacked us.
    Or the dissonance that republicans are the only ones who protected us from Saddam - when in fact the republicans gave him the Chemical and Biological WMDs in the first place!
    Or the dissonance that republicans are the party of ‘values’, when they poison the water with mercury, persecute gay people, cut social support networks for elderly and poor.
    Or the dissonance that republicans help black people and democrats hurt them, when african american poverty ALWAYS soars under republicans since reagan and has always dropped under democrats since Johnson and social programs began!

    I unfortunately could go on all day, but the clear gist is that you fvckers are nuts!


  55. Ryan Neat Says:

    afterthought,

    Did you hear that the justice department apparently demoted the original guy in 2002 who was investigating abramoff?

    http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/092705K.shtml

    He was getting to close to pinning the corruption and cronyism and reported his findings. Days later he was demoted and moved off the case despite a stellar career and performance. This kind of crony corruption shows that republicans have NO VALUES other than GREED AND HATE!


  56. afterthought Says:

    I did hear.
    I also heard the lame excuse was that he was just
    in the position as “acting”, but was there
    for twelve years.
    GOP, your corrupting is hanging out all over.


  57. Ryan Neat Says:

    I always think it’s funny when a group of homophobes, and religious zealots try to question the ‘pathology’ of others. Guess they never checked with a psychiatrist or the APA, both of those characteristics are symptoms of schizophrenia…


  58. Marie Says:

    He represents the height of hubris and arrogance, indicative of his lavish lifestyle and that of his close friends. Insulated, aloof, and ignorant of his cluelessness.
    Gee– that sounds like Bush!


  59. Jason Says:

    I love this crap (here and elsewhere). With few exceptions everyone blames “the other side” and acts like “their side” s**ts gold bricks. I wasn’t aware we were in a civil war, but if things keep up I certainly see one happening within the next 30 years.

    American politics was not like this before 1992. The GOP started it with Clinton, but the Democrats have been more than happy to return the favor. During those years we’ve also endured, among other things, the worst domestic terrorist act on our soil, the worst foreign terrorist act on our soil and now the most devestating natural disaster on our soil in recent meomry.

    If none of these events can make people wake the f**k up and demand that our politicians start working for us again, then rest assured, regardless of who wins in ‘08, the senseless partisan bickering will continue to be the order of the day. Bottom line, this is now American politics. We’re f**ked.

    Enjoy.


  60. Marie Says:

    Plunger, you have the facts. Brown is guilty of ignorance, inaction and incompetence; Chertoff is guilty of that and more because it appears that he didn’t know his role in Homeland Security. These people are apparently so enthralled with their appointments, they can’t get past their self-adoration to actually make plans, contingency plans, orders of direction and otherwise perform their jobs to the detriment of the general public whom they are sworn to protect. Failures at the highest levels, for sure.
    What is Brown covering up? Why was he given a concultant contract after he was disgraced? Is he being paid off? Is that National Enquirer story accurate - is he keeping quiet about Bush hitting the sauce again? Or worse?
    Shakespeare wrote “Something is rotten in Denmark.”


  61. dino Says:

    Jason,
    I would help if we were not wasting lives in Iraq for PNAC illusions. Yes when my country kills tens of thousands of human beings so that we can take their oil - it is political. And sorry it does piss me off. I am registered independent, so I am no apologist for either party. But it is the F’n Republicans that are in charge and the mess we are in is THEIR fault. If they took some responsibilty maybe there would not be so much anger - devisiveness. Notice how they accep NO blame - yet it is they that are in control. Brown is a reflection on how the entire GOP behaves.

    […] Meanwhile, during a break from his downloading, Brown addressed a hostile, mostly Republicna House Panel yesterday and blamed, wait for it, a blogger for his headaches. Brown told the panel: […]

    Boy, this nonsense is going nowhere fast. These guys are backed by corporate America and they are so powerful no one can bring them down. They will just keep doing the evil they are capable of.
    We all should get on our knees and pray. They are leading us straight to you know where. Mr Brown, we will pray that your soul does not burn to hot in hell.
    What an absolute farce

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Was not Brownie relieved of his duties at the Arabian Horse Assoc.? Could it have been due to incompetence?

    I have to add, how heartwarming it is to see that the Republicators are not engaging in the “blame game”. Their entirely too busy playing the “I’m not responsible game”. Buck? What buck? Yeah, I know. There is lots of blame to go around, but not one finger of blame, no matter how righteous, is going to ameliorate the fact that in The United States of America, in 2005, the administration that sold itself as the one best qualified to protect the people of this country, allowed people to die in their homes. It’s the perfect icon of George Bush’s America.

    And remember, he’s there because 59 million of our fellow citizens (we think) voted for him, based on the premise that this was the guy who would get the job done. A more jaded person than myself might suggest that deep down in their conservative hearts, the Bushies view this whole debacle as a success.

    Personally, I’m just not going to feel right about any of this until I know that Trent Lott is safely back on his front porch sipping a mint julip


  75. Gene Tinelli Says:

    As an old Goldwater Republican, I’m appalled by this free spending, privacy invading, bunch of incompetents in this administration that call themselves Republicans.

    We were going to impeach the last President for lying about oral sex. We ought to impeach Bush and his ilk for gross dereliction of duty.
