I'm not sure I understand that either. I can understand what he says he was trying to accomplish, but I think favoritism for that objective was dropped a few decades ago.

Nagain is pretty lucky that Michael Brown happened along as even more incompetent in dealing with Katrina. Otherwise, the spotlight would be squarely on him and blanco

Feh. Arguably, it's not favoritism for blacks, but instead could be a desire to have everybody come back and have essentially the same city that existed before the hurricane. (Sure, given the breathtaking corruption and incompetence of NO pre-hurricane, that desired objective could be a stupid goal on its own, but at least it wouldn't be purely the product of racial preference.)

Clinton, not Hillary
 

Or Ween. I think Ween does a tune called Chocolate Town.

He was bitching about plans bandied about to scrap the poorer areas of town and only rebuild the more affluent sections. He had a good point. It was a lay-up issue. He dunked in the wrong team's basket.

I've heard from some people who followed the Brownie story that Brownie wasn't so much incompetnet as uncaring and dismissive of the whole thing. Allegedly, he just didn't give a fuck, figured 'let em eat cake' and never figured it would bite him so badly. After he was bitten, his defense was to act like a buffoon. Probably cynical rumor-mongering, but you never know... I mean, I've played dumb an awful lot when caught doing bad shit or just fucking off a task that bored me. Better to be seen as lacking ability than being a dick who doesn't care in certain circumstances (which is just about every day I collect a check from anyone other than myself).

I was fixing to refer you a big juicy lawsuit in Philly until i read this.

Well, of all the Katrina stooges, Blanco still takes the cake. She came off like some frazzled imbecile housefrau.

I'd get a chunk of that, which means I'd move it ahead of everything else. You'd get Grade A service.

weren't those his plans? The 4 mos. or we raze plans?

Hmmm. Haven't gotten that vibe so much as the sense he was happy in a caretaker job at FEMA as a political thank you. He didn't come in with a desire to remake it or advance the ball, and didn't feel any need to do so. Then, just as he was getting ready to turn it over to the next guy, Katrina hits and he's fucked. He had hoped to slip out of town, and now he's confronted with a situation well beyond his capabilities, so he looks like a total buffoon.

To be frank, I'm also concerned about the alcohol and other drug abuse.

Most administrations have dead depts based upon their politics. Like most Rep administrations let EPA wither, or the way Clinton fucked the military and intelligence services. both sides probably let FEMA wither.

If your objective is to see me dance, my answer is

"How much?"

Chocolate Town
 

Oh, you mean like these ditties?

When workers came to help rebuild New Orleans: "what can I do to make sure that New Orleans is not overrun by Mexican workers?"

Or the cause of the multiple hurricanes: God was "mad at America... for being in Iraq under false pretences....But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

Plus, he does that annoying "hide the alopecia" thing with the shaved head (who are you guys kidding??) and, an even worse offense: sporting a mustache without a beard. Very very gay.

I was waiting for this to come up. I couldn't believe it. It made me embarrassed to be part of the same species.

Yes, you Dems are an "interesting" species indeed.

The Daily Show coupled his comments with some inane thing Hilary Clinton said comparing the House to a Plantation and Nancy Pelosi's inability to control her base.

See Replacement Killers on their clips.
