Chimpy refuses to fire Brown

now, if another terrrorist attack happens -- oh, never mind!!

WHITE HOUSE The White House is rejecting calls to fire the nation's top disaster chief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Critics are questioning whether Michael Brown is qualified to head up the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- which is being blamed for a slow federal response to the storm.

Brown served nine years as a commissioner with the Aurora (Colorado)-based International Arabian Horse Association, before leaving in February 2001.

He became legal counsel to FEMA almost immediately, and took over as director two years later.

Louisiana's largest newspaper published an open letter to President Bush yesterday, calling for Brown's firing.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says "enormous progress" has been made since the storm hit eight days ago.

1. Chimpy would never fire any of his cronies...

unless they have the audacity to question any of the administrations motives. They are all members of the same crime family called the PNAC.

6. boosh's loyalty to his underlings (and contributors) is well-known

Damned shame he doesn't feel the same loyalty to the United States (which, if I recall correctly, he swore an oath to protect and defend). :mad:

4. promotion time

The Bush theme is "If you screw up, you move up." When the dust settles, he will be promoted.

3. Deja vu!!!

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says "enormous progress" has been made...

Where we have heard that before? Oh, yeah, it's what Chimpy Chickenhawk is always saying about Iraq--"we're making good progress."

Just about as based in reality now as then.

7. If that NOLA Storm thing was Progress....GOD HELP US ALL

That was not "Progress"...that was a distraction to get Judge Roberts into the SCOTUS..that was to get Cindy and Rove off the radar screen.

The Carpet Baggers will own chunks of NOLA before this is done.

The Poor peeps will get paid off with taxpayers money...

Their No#1 goal is ROBERTS

Brown and Bush even are expendable....Roberts is the Main Gain...

If he gets it...now, thats Progress

8. They are keeping him around should SOMEONE have to be fired

They will use him as buffer to keep W away from the flames. Chertoff is too good a political soldier to be cast away....but he is next after Brown.

9. They are keeping him around because he knows where the

bodies are buried--literally and figuratively.

11. Is he a "Pioneer" or "Ranger"?

I can't imagine anything less that would have Il Douche defending this piece of grab-asstic amphibean shit.

Except maybe embarassing photos?
