Well, alright then. C’mon people, what more qualities could W have possibly asked of the man?
Clearly this is a subtle swipe at the guy, one of those letters-of-reference comments that you have to read between the lines to see.
From the Beatles’ White Album:
Lots of people wishing James Lee Witt was still director, I reckon. (He’s a family friend and a really good, honest guy, as well as being qualified and competent.)Sure he was a FOB, but at least he wasn’t shoehorned into something he didn’t qualify for.
I certainly wish we had a lot more Friends of Bill running things about now. Along with being Friends of Bill, they were also competent, effective, and yielded good results. Friends of George (FOGs) seem to have led to a vast number of fuckups (FOGups?), in pretty much all domains.
A man is known by the company he keeps.
Yeah, what ever happened to, “Bush is a fuck up, but he is surrounded by really talented people.” Are Bush apologists sticking to that?
Look, George likes him.
Hey, Mikey!
What I’d really like to know is with incredibly unqualified people like that getting high up jobs… where can I sign on? I could use the money and apparantly would be just as good in a crisis.
Or more seriously, how’d someone with so little aptitude for the job and experience in anything approaching the kind of duties he’s expected to perform get hired in the first place?
George, Condi, Dick, Trent all sing:
You’re a fuck-up, Michael Brown
You’re the kind of reminder we need
No credibility, culpability and blank expression
That show you are a dickweed!
Snoopy:
Woof!
George, Condi, Dick, Trent:
You’re a fuck-up, Michael Brown
So we know you will go very far
Yes it’s hard to believe
Almost frightening to conceive
What a fuck-up you are!
He was a college buddy of the previous director, Joe M. Allbaugh, who himself got the job because he Dubya’s campaign manager in 2000. The Bush administration is rife with patronage jobs bestowed on unqualified cronies and campaign contributors.
You have not been paying attention.
Evidently *the clothes * do make the man. I mean come on… a starched white shirt… every day! Don’t underestimate the level of commitment that requires.
You know the assistant city manager thing may just be a punctuation error.
Maybe when he wrote his résumé he typed ‘Assistant City Manager’ instead of ‘Assistant**,** City Manager’.
Could happen to anybody. :rolleyes:
There’s a bright oily glaze on New Orleans,
There’s a bright oily glaze on New Orleans.
The water’s as high
as an elephant’s eye…
And it looks like Mike Brown simply ain’t the right guuuuuuyyyyyy…
Oh what a stupendous fuck up
Oh what a horrific day
I got a sneakin’ suspicion
FEMA will just have to paaaaayyyy
And Mike Brown’s not gonna staaaayy.
Ummmm. Gee. I’m not sure how to respond.

Thank you.
The Administration.
I agree. The terrorists want us to start pointing fingers at eachother. That’s how they’ll win.
He also pads his resume. His entry in FindLaw is here; apparently both the “Outstanding Political Science Professor, Central State University” and “Director, Oklahoma Christian Home” are bogus.
But of course the buck will stop with Brown, and not any of the people who put this politically reliable know-nothing apparatchik in a position of such responsibility. :rolleyes:
But Clinton got a blowjob! That means that Witt et al. are clearly guilty by association!

Of course, they can’t admit it, because it means they made a mistake, but I think it’s obvious that the White House realized that Michael Brown is the wrong man for the job. That’s what they hired a Coast Guard vice admiral as his deputy.

Psssst! Robin! Doors is logged onto the account instead of you!
Funny you should mention that. My late father (who was good friends with James Lee from home) told me that James Lee told him that he asked Clinton straight up if the Lewinsky allegations were true. Clinton told him no. Of course, that wasn’t true. He took that really personally. James Lee’s relationship with Clinton cooled after that, IIRC. James Lee is an honest, christian man, one who still holds hands with his wife, Lea Ellen, everywhere they go. I’m not saying he’s perfect, but he undoubtedly walks the walk.
