You can both be scapegoated AND still bear significant amounts of responsibility. The groundwork for the disaster of communication and response, etc., was laid well before last year’s Hurricane season, and Brown participated in that. Personally, I’m in no hurry to give Brown even a tarnished halo.

Brian,

The quote was “You’re doing a Heck of a job, Brownie” present tense. It seems by this that he was not a complete inept administrator in the planning phase, but completely inept at coordination. The quote still sounds just as ridiculous. The quote actually sounds more ridiculous now as Bush himself has to take some of the Blame as well, something this administration refuses to do until there is complete and unequivical evidence to their incompetence.

So… Now “You did a good job, Brownie” doesn’t sound *as* ridiculous.

This is why i love your blog, you truly are fair and balanced.

(btw. don’t mind my right-wing outbursts from time-to-time, I just happen to have strong beliefs, y’know)
