IRONY AND STUPIDITY ABOUND

Do you remember Michael ("Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job") Brown, infamous director of FEMA during its catastrophic failure after Katrina and the federal flood?  The FEMA that wasn't there for days as nearly 1000 people drowned in New Orleans? 

That same Michael Brown...wait!...is now criticizing Obama for his too-rapid response to Hurricane Sandy.
“One thing he’s gonna be asked is, why did he jump on [the hurricane] so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in…Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?” Brown says. “Why was this so quick?… At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question…. This is like the inverse of Benghazi.”
See?  Hurricane Sandy is just like the Benghazi attack, only turned upside down.  Amazingly brilliant analogy, no?  Brownie's a heckuva guy with a mind like a steel trap...not!  Brownie, who knows not the meaning of quick response, is just the person to connect the dots and come up with a really, really stupid comment.

H/T to Charles Pierce.

    1. Marthe, we've really got to stop trying to figure these folks out. As you see, doing so can cause brain damage.

    2. And here's the scary part: I grew up in the part of Upstate New York that was soooo GOP none of us even considered registering any other way ... I always thought of myself as fiscally conservative, socially progressive. Never could figure out what the hater fringe wing was up to, but they mostly didn't count, anyway. Have now had to abandon my roots entirely (since Reagan, just voted against them all, but kept GOP reg.) ... only way to go out in public without abject shame. Eeeeeagh!

    3. Yes, I've heard that the northern part of the state is a bastion of conservatism. It's also quite rural, except for the cities, as we discovered to our surprise when we visited the Adirondacks.

  2. Imagine! Brownie crawls out of the woodwork to say that.

  3. Send Brownie to Benghazi, and leave him there (He'll find it pleasantly dry, compared to NOLA. Or NYC.)

  4. . . . the inverse of Benghazi" - what does that even mean?? Brownie needs to get back on his meds, pronto. And keep his mouth shut about ANY disaster relief. What.A.Jerk.

    1. Russ, I have no idea what Brownie means. I guess he'll say anything that sounds critical of Obama, even it it makes no sense.

  5. The more Brownie talks, the better chance Obama has of being re-elected, because Brownie reminds us of Bush's disinterest in the aftermath of Katrina.

    1. Karen, he who must not be named by Republicans...George W Bush...is included in the picture for that very reason, as a reminder of one of the many failures of his maladministration.

    1. Exactly. Brownie's an auld aquaintance from Katrina days. He's a dim bulb from way back, but you'd think he'd have enough sense to STFU.
