Former FEMA chief Michael Brown forced to evacuate from Colorado wildfires.
In recent days, vicious wildfires have forced thousands of Boulder, Colorado area residents to evacuate. One of those residents: disgraced former FEMA chief Michael “Heckuva Job” Brown. This morning in an interview with a Colorado radio station, Brownie remarked, “Here I am on the other side of the fence now.” He added that “was strange being told to evacuate, because, you know, I firmly believe in evacuations. When they told me that, you know, I just loaded the dogs up, grabbed my briefcase and headed down the mountain.” Michael Roberts of Denver Westword writes, “Don’t gloat about that, Katrina survivors. Well, maybe a little gloating is okay.”

It’s true! When you are full of sh*t, regular evacuations are vital for good health!
January 8th, 2009 at 5:53 pmSomehow methinks Heckuva Job Brownie won’t be sitting around for several days in an unprepared emergency shelter without food, water or other life necessities. That would be true karma.
Just saying . . .
January 8th, 2009 at 5:53 pmThey should have left him there. They left the people in New Orleans didn’t they.
January 8th, 2009 at 5:59 pmWhat’s the matter, Mike? Did you miss the memo on evacuate? Or did you think it meant it was time to take a dump? Don’t worry, I’m sure there is a formaldehyde laced trailer available for you.
Just ignore when the dogs keel over.
January 8th, 2009 at 6:00 pmI didn’t know this fool move to the neighborhood… Please don’t bring your friends, Perino, Cheney, Rummy or Chimpy…
January 8th, 2009 at 6:03 pmThere goes the neighborhood, and you thought your home prices have been dropping like a rock!
Man, sometimes life is beautiful.
“I firmly believe in evacuations.” That’s news to… well, everybody you didn’t evacuate from New Orleans.
January 8th, 2009 at 6:16 pmAh, schadenfreude. So very tasty. ;o)

Neither was he forced to leave his pets behind to starve or go feral.
January 8th, 2009 at 6:35 pmAnother lurid example of the media giving press coverage to someone who should be left for dead under a cover. Let him sleep unnoticed with his dogs and get fleas.
January 8th, 2009 at 6:48 pmMust be nice, getting a chopper ride out… dogs included…
January 8th, 2009 at 6:48 pmyou know this parasite will be the first one sucking off the FEMA tit if so much as a blade of grass is scorched on his lawn
January 8th, 2009 at 7:09 pmBROWNIE BE GLAD THAT I AM NOT A HELICOPTER RESCUER…….I WOULD HAVE PUSHED YOUR DUMB ASS OUT THE DOOR AT 1500 FEET.
ONCE AGAINST THE PRIVELEGED WHITES ARE GIVEN PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT
ROT IN HELL
January 8th, 2009 at 7:29 pmBoo frickin’ hoo.
January 8th, 2009 at 7:40 pmThis guy should be save and sound behind bars for dereliction of duty.
January 8th, 2009 at 7:41 pmFolks, the photo is visibly dated July 11, 2005.
I bet at some point the FEMA employees looked at his house, looked at each other and at least one of them said, “you know, we could just leave him there.”
January 8th, 2009 at 7:57 pmFolks, the photo is visibly dated July 11, 2005.
January 8th, 2009 at 8:05 pmoops. that’s twice for me today. Think I’ll go away for awhile
Gee Brownie, sorry. I know of a stadium you can sleep in. All the water you can drink. Just hang your head outside and open wide.
January 8th, 2009 at 8:29 pmIt’s best to stay as far away from a neocon as possible. They are all jinx’s.
