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 Bushs 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, youre 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.
