Heck of a job, Jeb: Bush features official behind botched Katrina response in ‘hurricane’ ad




Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) marked the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina by featuring the official who became associated with the poor federal response to the disaster in a new campaign ad, CNN reported.

The commercial shows Bush standing next to former FEMA director Michael D. Brown as Bush calling Florida disaster-response workers “the best emergency response team on the ground, in the country and in the world.”

Brown, who was appointed by Bush’s brother, then-President George W. Bush, in 2003, resigned following rotund criticism for his efforts during the hurricane two years later, and was mocked after the president gave him a public vote of confidence by telling him, “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.”

Is it possible that Jeb!'s production team members were raised by helicopter parents who insisted that their child receive a medal, trophy, passing grade no matter if their child actually produced? Critical thinking is a skill. I am waiting!

P.S. I am amazed that no one looks at these things before they are released! Ok, end of rant.

normally I love oldies. Not so much in this case.

Heard he also hired Chertoff as a consultant. BRILLIANT!
