Katrina’s ‘Heckuva Job, Brownie’ absolves self from disaster — and you won’t believe who he blames

[DonViejo]

Ten years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Michael Brown — former FEMA head during President George W. Bush’s administration — is defending his actions during the disaster, saying the most he can be blamed for is “mishandling” press relations.

Brown, who was widely mocked for his ineffectiveness in dealing with the disaster after the president complimented him with “Heckuva job, Brownie,” claims he shouldered the blame at the time, but that it was unwarranted and that it was the “worst part” about Katrina for him.

Writing in Politico, Brown pointed fingers in all directions — except for back at himself — as he explained, “There were many dark moments in those three weeks on the Gulf Coast, and FEMA and the federal government certainly made some mistakes, but perhaps the worst part was being held responsible for the things that I didn’t control at all.”

Brown, who resigned in the wake of the Katrina disaster after being replaced at the scene by Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad W. Allen, now hosts a radio show in Denver. He believes he was unfairly saddled with the blame after the agency he headed failed to evacuate residents ahead of the storm and afterward was incapable of taking care of them.

There was a story on the RMS last night that showed him standing next to our former pretzledent's brother.

3. Fine, I don't care what he says...at night before he goes to bed and looks into the mirror

he must see all that blood on his hands. I know he knows how responsible he is, but like all GOP assholes - he will project just the opposite...everyone else was at fault.

Brownie you will have blood on you hands that will never wash off...say whatever the fuck you want to, history won't change just because you WISH it would.
