After months of being pummeled as the poster boy for the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina, former federal disaster chief Michael Brown finally hit back.
Claims by the Homeland Security Department that it didn't quickly realize the scope of the Aug. 29 storm's devastation are "just baloney," Brown testified at a Senate hearing on Friday. Told by one senator that he lacked the leadership to manage the response, Brown angrily replied: "I absolutely resent you sitting here and saying that."
And in a punch to the president whom he says he still respects, Brown testified that he told top White House officials the day Katrina hit about massive flooding in New Orleans and warned that "we were realizing our worst nightmare."
More defiant than defensive, the former Federal Emergency Management Agency director took aim at the Bush administration — a far cry from his last congressional appearance, nearly six months ago, when he heaped the bulk of blame on state and local officials.

Brown made that Coleman guy look like fool. The idiots will rebuild "Sin City" right in the bowl again, below sea level, then God and a future member of the Bush family will cause another flood and wipe them out again.
How come you can curse and I can't? you said "BasTArd"
I admit I haven't followed any of this idiocy closely except to notice that posters who previously denigrated Brown and called him a liar time and again now hang on his every word.

You, too, could redeem yourself in our eyes if you turn from the errors of your ways.

Now lets get skeletor Chertoff out there to take his medicine. See Senate, sworn testimony is a good thing! It brings out the best in everyone, Gonzales notwithstanding.
