Brownie: I hate the phrase ‘heckuva job.’

Paul Bedard at U.S. News recently became Facebook friends with former FEMA director Michael Brown, who lists some of his favorite tv shows as “incessantly flipping between Fox, MSNBC, and all the talking heads.” According to Bedard, Brownie also uses his page to clear the record on his time in the Bush administration:

brown.jpg Fact is, his is an interesting comeback story, and his Facebook page, which you have to sign up for to see, tells it. He’s a long way from President Bush’s disaster plaudit, “Brownie, you’re doin’ a heckuva job,” but he remembers it well, dubbing it his least favorite quote. He follows that up with this advice: “Don’t always believe what you read. Ask me instead.” Apparently, many are. He had about 85 friends two weeks ago, and with some active marketing, he’s nearly topped 225.

Digg It!

    my post of David Letterman Pawning George W. is on fire right now. 33rd most popular video on all of youtube. oh and POLITICO used my video of Helen Thomas questioning Perino on torture. AND DIDN’T GIVE A CREDIT SOURCE in his post. Maybe cuz they BANNED me from the site?

    anyways. check out my video of Letterman chewing out Bush. You partisan liberals will eat it up I’m sure

    Leno is a corporate bootlicker. Dave’s the man!

    Poor fool. The pride of his life, killing so many people and destroying a democratic enclave of the south, breaking labor contracts all over the caribbean to get cheap illegal labor in to make your friends money. Like McWars said.
    get a horse.


  7. lokidog says:

    OK.

    How about:

    “Brownie, you’ve completely f***ed up our response to this disaster you incompetent, *ss kissing, sycophantic toadie – you’re in line for a promotion!”

    BTW, Hi ‘John Kerry’


  9. shoeless says:

    It’s just not fair! Paul Bremer got the Presidential Medal of Freedom for fu(king up Iraq.


  10. DieNowForPeace says:

    #4 old hack thank you,

    ditto:

    Especially like the 3:50 mark “it’s all about oil”, and, remember it’s spliced from a 2000 interview, Shrub PREDICTS prices are going to inrease and he’s worried what it will do to the economy, in response to our retaliation against an aggressor.

    AMAZING.


  11. StupidGit says:

    Glad to see Brownie still has some “friends” after his incompetence and arrogance killed hundreds of people. Curious what losers would want to be his “friend” though…

    Old_Hack,

    That video seems to be pretty diced up… the Letterman outbursts appear to be from a different interview as well. And your website says it’s from 2000 yet they’re talking about the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan and 9/11…

    Not to sound too harsh but there’s enough real info out there to “pwn” Bush, we don’t need the message cluttered with manipulated propaganda-style hit-jobs.


  14. RUCerious says:

    So, how many ‘enemies’ does he have?

    **************************************************

    TOO @#$%^&* BAD!! Choke on it, bozo. You made your bed, and now you have to lie in it — aren’t Republicans the ones who are always talking about how important it is to take personal responsibility? Maybe if you’d actually done the job that you were paid to do — or simply done the most ethical thing by refusing to take the job in the first place due to the fact that you were not qualified — this would have never been an issue. If you want someone to get angry at, the first name on the top of that list should be “Michael Brown.”

    How many are not horse show owners ?


  17. nofltwlt says:

    Then let’s hear it one more time for Brownie!

    “Heckuva job Brownie”.


  18. Buckie Boy says:

    Well, you were just another Bush crony that was unqualified for that job and face it you ‘F’d up, big time…you deserve to be tortured with that quote for the rest of your life.


  19. L. Hussein Annie says:

    You’ve all said it much better than I could. However, I would like to add one thing:

    YOU’RE DOING A HECKUVA JOB, BROWNIE!!!!!

    Choke on it, you moron.


  20. republicanSScareme says:

    When someone tells you he is getting his news by “incessantly flipping between Fox, MSNBC, and all the talking heads,” you know he’s not getting the news. I guess you have to be an internet junkie to know that.

    He looks like Alex Jones, without the brains.


  21. old_hack says:

    hey thanks for the “heckuva job” about my hack job on letterman and Bush. the interview with Bush is mostly about how he feels about capital punishment. Letterman asks him if theres anything that could change his mind about it.

    Its very spooky because his answers are exactly the same as his answers for why he wont end the war in Iraq.

    “Its gonna save lives”..
